How did we get our start?
Our origins are shrouded in mystery. Some accounts trace the Unemployed Philosophers Guild's birth to Athens in the latter half of the 4th century BCE. Others argue it dates from the High Middle Ages.
More recently, historians have pinpointed the birth of the Guild to New York City in the late 90s, when two brothers turned their inner creativity and love of paying rent towards fulfilling the people's needs for finger puppets, warm slippers, coffee cups, and cracking up at stuff.
If you're unemployed, how come you have a job?
We are employed, just not as philosophers.

Product Description
From all reports, William Shakespeare was a decent guy. He was generous, funny, and could drink with the best of them. But one thing you didn't want to do is piss him off. Shakespeare was the Don Rickles of Elizabethan England â - His brilliantly crafted insults and witty barbs could bring the fiercest soldier to tears. The Shakespeare Insults mug is covered with the Bard's funniest and most biting insults from his plays. Some of our favorites are: "Oh gull, O dolt, As ignorant as dirt" "lump of foul deformity" "Thou art a boil, a plague sore" and the puzzling "Elvish-mark'd abortive, rooting hog." All in all, there are 30 Shakespearian insults on the mug. So don't be "light of brain" or a "beetle-headed flap-ear'd knave" - Get one today!
Holds 14 oz / 400mL. Dishwasher and microwave safe.

There is this medic that I work with named Chris, and he had a bad call the other day, so we were talking about it, he was a little upset, and i noticed that he was drinking coffee out of this generic mug from some eye doctor place. I thought ya know what, that is a lame coffee mug, let me fix that, so I came here to amazon. When I found this mug, I knew I had found exactly what I was looking for; it is exactly him, he is a little bit of a Type A personality, and most medics are, but trust me, you WANT them to be..and along with with that, he is a bit jaded and a bit of a turn wit. Really good guy - just don't tick him off- exactly like Shakespeare - which is exactly why this mug is perfect for him.
So I gave him this mug and he absolutely adored it! It has phrases like :
Thou art a boil, a plague sore
foot-licker
false of heart, light of ear, bloody of hand
it's just intelligent, funny, and attractive.
As far as being a coffee mug goes, it's 16 oz, so it seems to be standard size, and it looks exactly like it does in the pictures : standard mug with a handle.
It is a really good mug like I said he loved it, I love it, he has been using it at work and everyone has been laughing about it and using the phrases, so it has been a conversation piece. Just great.
I purchased this product at full price, and this review is honest and accurate.
Everyone that sees this cup bursts out laughing. I have actually purchased this cup twice and will probably buy it again, because whenever someone sees it, they just have to have one!
Such a great idea! I wish I had thought of it!
