I use a red mouse pad with the words "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON" printed on it, topped with an Imperial crown.
It is a replica of a British WW2-era poster that remained unknown until recently, when a warehouse full of copies was discovered. The poster was intended for distribution as a last ditch effort to boost the public's morale once all hope seemed lost.
But even toward the end of the war, with most of London in ruins, every resource rapidly running dry and Hitler's submarines blocking the supply lines, it turned out that the British population never needed to be REMINDED to keep calm and carry on. So the entire printing run was simply stowed away and forgotten!
