"2026 will be the most auspicious year ever for us human resources managers," said a spokes-slug for the industry association, "because it's the year of the Fire Horse.
"The Fire Horse will clip clop across the UK's factory floors and offices, firing anyone who has just started a family, or who has had a bereavement, and replacing them with AI bots.
"Then the Fire Horse will accidentally set light to their redundancy cheques so we don't have to pay them off.
"Eventually, no one will be employed by UK firms apart from HR managers, and we'll have all the money.
"But if the Fire Horse even thinks for a second of firing one of us HR people, it'll be off to the lasagne factory before its hoofs can touch the sodding floor."
