The company Panvola sells coffee mugs with funny messages on them (great office gifts if you're looking for something fun for that quirky someone in your workplace) and along with each mug, the purchaser (and thank you to my friend Jennifer Spear for flagging this for me) also gets a "Surprising Facts" card which serves as a "surprising topic for your happy coffee time."   

A "surprising fact" related to your business or profession could be something fun you add to your voicemail message, email signature, invoices, or anywhere and everywhere you can think of! 

In case you're wondering, the surprising fact Jennifer received with her coffee mug order was: "It is illegal to die in this town. Longyearbyen, Svalbard, a remote Norwegian island, has made it illegal to die since 1950, when locals discovered that bodies were not decomposing in the cemetery due to the frigid weather."
