    slogan to scribble on a ball :)

    Comment
    Hi there!

    Need the benefit of your oversized brains for two ticks. :) I'm looking for a peppy slogan which I can scribble on the seating ball of my co-worker. I'm leaving our office and she collects some words from all former employees. But as I'm everything but creative or good at things like this I would be grateful if you gave me some food for my thoughts. So can anyone think of something funny related to a ball? ?)

    Thanks for your help.

    Not sure I can quite picture either the item (she sits on a ball?) or the occasion (you're leaving and she gets the memento?), but just skimming through some phrases, what about

    For someone who's always on the ball (= ready, well informed, up to date)
    For someone who's a ball of fire at work (= fast, vigorous, enthusiastic)
    Always keep your eye on the ball (= pay attention)
    Good luck keeping the ball rolling (= keeping everything going, not stopping)
    For someone who's on a roll (= consistently lucky)
    Hope I haven't left you rolling in the aisles (= laughing uncontrollably)
    Hang in there and roll with the punches (= survive, adapt to bad luck)

    A seating ball looks like this...

    These balls are good for one's back. It is recommended not to sit on them all day but switch between the ball and a chair regularly (using only the ball is too much strain for the muscles).

    I think the suggestion 'for someone who's always on the ball' is perfect considering that in this case she is literally sitting on a ball, as well as it being a compliament to her working skills!

    Just think: You'll still be here while I'm having a ball somewhere else!

    ("Having a ball" means enjoying yourself very much.)

    Ok, ok...I'll think of some rude ones since the rest were already said.

    Balls!
    Got balled lately?
    Roll this in flour to find the wet-spot

    How about ...

    "What do you keep in here?"

    And if you want a rude one ...

    "Does it feel nice if I stroke it?"

    you boys! Finbar Saunderses the lot of you...

    in Anlehnung an die weebles könntest du auch schreiben "XY (the woman) might wobble, but she won't fall down".

    But I also like the idea of something being inside it - you could write SWAG in large capital letters on it...
