It probably isn't too much of a reach to say we've all had times at work where we feel like punching a coworker or two. While carrying out these acts would relieve some much needed stress and anger, it would probably get you in trouble with the law and your boss. Fortunately, the RageGage has been created to let you act out your violent urges without getting in trouble.
The RageGage is a squishy disk that, when punched, emits a one-liner along with a force-rating. The RageGage can be bought with custom voices installed such as a certain recent president or an Aussie, or they can be programmed with the voice of a particularly infuriating coworker. I would go for the latter option as it would be more gratifying to an obnoxious coworker scream than a poor man's version of George Bush.
