Pfired by Pfizer, Gone But Not For Groton

Ann Arbor's heartache plastered on a shirt: the closing of the Pfizer lab/factory in my home town has "liberated" several thousand people of their jobs. One of these is my friend Kyle "Coney Dog" Kuzzpit who sent me this hilarious t-shirt.

A lucky, lucky few will be transferred to Pfizer's main headquarters in Groton, CT. The majority are gonna be applying for unemployment.......which has led to this even slightly more hilarious t-shirt.

I recently purchased a second-hand t-shirt bearing the slogan

GROTON IS FOR LIFE PARTNERS

Does anyone know where this comes from?

A few of them could head to Groton, NY.

A favorite local joke in Groton used to be:

Why do so many local boys join the submarine service (based in Groton)?

To escape the smell of the Pfizer plant. (They had humongous fermenters to produce the precursors to semi-synthetic antibiotics.)

I earned mine in '03, with the Pharmacia "merger". The hacked logo was invented at that time.

Sometimes I feel like corporate spoofs are questionable in terms of their creativity and legality (and so does cafepress), but "Pfired" actually makes a lot of sense in this case.
