When you reach into a used toilet bowl up to your elbow to try to remove a clog.
"Wow James, you were in the bathroom for a while. Did you just do a brown handshake?"

Get the brown handshake mug.
Opposite of golden handshake. When one loses their job with no compensation.
You think you're going to be made redundant with a big fat payoff but no, you get the brown handshake. Do not collect any money, just clear your desk and get the hell outta here!
