One of my favorite things to do is to tease people about being lazy - especially if they are working hard. Some of the lines I used to use are...
1. You're lucky they don't throw away everything that doesn't work around here.
2. I heard a nasty rumor about you the other day. Someone said they saw you do some work, but I didn't believe them!
3. I understand you use spray dirt in a can and spray your hands so it looks like you've been working hard.
4. You're not much of a man. Every time someone calls you lazy, you always take it laying down.
5. With all the automation that is being installed, I'll bet they will replace you with a mannequin.
6. Your body will last forever because it's obvious there's no moving parts.
7. No one can call you lazy. After all, you put in a good 40 hour...month.
8. I heard you were in big trouble the other day. I heard the boss told you to sweep and you thought he said "sleep" and took a 4-hour nap on company time.
9. Hey, guys, do you know who does less work than Joe here? I couldn't think of anyone either.
10. It's always easy to pick out Mike's tools - they look like they have never been used.
You can see I had a lot of fun with my co-workers! Of course, they all knew who to ask if they needed help and everyone was welcome in my office to have coffee and donuts.

"If Hard Work & Good Responsibility provides the Greatest Reward & Satisfaction,
why do most Folks shirk/eschew BOTH?"
Hypothetical Utopian query mind you.

Hoisting Petards come with the territory.
The better you work often (sometimes?) provides more time to do so,
don't get too perfunctory or complacent.
