Just a Flesh Wound

Monty Python Black Knight Plush

In the workplace, there are many adversaries and obstacles between you and success. They take the form of many things, such as reams of paperwork, volumes of webpages, hoards of underlings, or lines of stubborn computer code. And then, right when you are about to succeed, one more annoyance (normally that dreaded monster called "Boss") shows up, breathing noxious stuff like corrections and deadlines. But fear not, dear friend, for we offer a solution proven by history to work: the King Arthur Approach to Problem Solving.

You see, King Arthur had a similar problem, as documented in the historical/factual epic Monty Python and the Holy Grail. You will recall, in his journeys, King Arthur came to a bridge which was guarded by a Black Knight. King Arthur, in all his wisdom, first tried to make friends with the Knight. Turning a problem into an advantage (or an enemy into a friend) is step one in the King Arthur Approach. And, when befriending the Black Knight didn't work, noble King Arthur hacked the rogue to bits. That's what we call step two: breaking a problem into manageable parts. We offer you this plush Black Knight as a reminder of the King Arthur Approach. And, if you get seriously mad or stressed, you can tear its limbs off. However, please do not attempt tearing anything off your coworkers.

Dimensions: Approx. 7.5" tall with removable arms, legs, and 5.35" sword
