I got a job at a paperless office...

Everything was great until I needed to use the bathroom.

Why This Joke Works

The joke takes the eco-friendly 'paperless office' trend to its grimly logical conclusion — no paper is fine until it isn't. The punchline doesn't say the quiet part out loud; it just says 'the bathroom,' and everyone's brain does the rest. The gap between progressive policy and basic human need is where the laugh lives.

🎤 How to Tell This Joke

Play the setup earnestly, then let 'the bathroom' land with a resigned pause and a slight grimace. The audience needs half a second to connect the dots, and that delay is the joke.

Perfect for:

•During a company sustainability or go-green initiative meeting
•When IT announces the office is going completely digital
•At any green-office policy kickoff where people are taking it very seriously
