BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY


SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows, and you give one to your neighbour.

COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some
milk.

FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.

NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.

BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks
the other and then throws the milk away.

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the
income.

SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take
harmonica lessons.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the
other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to
analyse why the cow has dropped dead.

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two cows. You sell three of them to
your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your
brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an
associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax
exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are
transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release.
The public buys your bull.

FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a
riot, and block the roads because you want three cows.

JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are
one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the
milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called 'cowkimon' and market it worldwide.

GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they
live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows, but you don't know where they
are. You decide to have lunch.

RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you
have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.

CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking
them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity,
and arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.

BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad.

IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them
that you have none. No one believes you, so they bomb the **** out of you
and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are
part of a Democracy.

WELSH CORPORATION: You have two cows. The one on the left looks very
attractive.

AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. Business seems pretty good.
You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate

GORDON'S NEW LABOUR GOVERNMENT:

You have no cows, but you have hypothetical MOO and are taxed accordingly.

An Irish man walks into a pub. The bartender asks him, "What'll you have?"
The man says, "Give me three cold Guinness Stouts please."
So the bartender brings him three cold brews and the man proceeds to
alternately sip one, then the other, then the third until they're gone. He
then orders three more.
The bartender says, "Sir, I know you like them cold. You don't have to order
three at a time. I can keep an eye on it and when you get low I'll bring you
a fresh cold one."
The man says, "You don't understand. I have two brothers, one in Australia
and one in the States. We made a vow to each other that every Saturday night
we'd still drink together. So right now, my brothers have three Guinness
Stouts too, and we're drinking together.
The bartender thought that was a wonderful tradition.
Every week the man came in and ordered three beers. Then one week he came in
and ordered only two. He drank them and then ordered two more.
The bartender said to him, "I know what your tradition is, and I'd just like
to say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers died."
The man said, "Oh, me brothers are fine----I just quit drinking."

Five cannibals get appointed as programmers in an IT company. During the
welcoming ceremony the boss says: `You`re all part of our team now. You can
earn good money here, and you can go to the company canteen for something to
eat. Just don`t trouble the other employees`. The cannibals promise not to
trouble the other employees.

Four weeks later the boss returns and says: `You`re all working very hard,
and I`m very satisfied with all of you. One of our cleaners has disappeared
however. Do any of you know what happened to her?` The cannibals denied all
knowledge of the missing cleaner.

After the boss has left, the leader of the cannibals says to the others
`Which of you idiots ate the cleaner?` A hand raises hesitantly, to which
the leader of the cannibals says `You fool! For four weeks we`ve been eating
Team Leaders, Managers, and Project Managers so no-one would notice
anything, and you have to go and eat the cleaner!`

This blonde really wanted to go ice fishing. She'd seen many
books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the
necessary tools together, she made for the nearest frozen lake.

After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to make
a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly---from the sky---a voice
boomed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!"

Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a
Thermos of cappuccino, and began to cut yet another hole.
Again, from the heavens, the voice bellowed, "THERE ARE NO
FISH UNDER THE ICE!"

The Blonde, now quite worried, moved way down to the opposite
end of the ice, set up her stool, and tried again to cut her
hole. The voice came once more, even louder: "THERE ARE NO
FISH UNDER THE ICE!"

She stopped, looked skyward, and said, " Is that you, Lord?"

The voice replied, "NO, THIS IS THE ICE RINK MANAGER!"

From Daily Express 06/09/01

If you're going to rob banks, at least find out what they do. David Potchen,
39, stormed into Centier Bank in Lowell, Indiana, the other day armed with a
shotgun and demanding two Big Macs. Bank workers hit the panic button and
soon the building was surrounded by cops.

"We don't know what's inside his head," Mike Arredondo, the local sheriff,
told reporters as a tense siege played out.

The four-hour standoff finally ended when police gave the robber two Big
Macs. He surrended peacefully. And full.

Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Heaven, God went
missing for six days.

Eventually, Michael the archangel found him, resting
on the seventh day.

He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"

God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly
pointed downwards through the clouds,

"Look Michael, look what I've made."

Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?"

"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put LIFE on it.

I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a great place
of balance."

"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.

God explained, pointing to different parts of Earth,


"For example, Northern Europe will be a place of great
opportunity and wealth

while Southern Europe is going to be poor;

the Middle East over there will be a hot spot.

Over there I've placed a continent of white people and over
there is a continent of black people,"

God continued, pointing to different countries.

"This one will be extremely hot and arid while this one will
be very cold and covered in ice."

The Archangel, impressed by Gods work, then pointed to a large
landmass in the top corner

and asked, "What's that one?"

"Ah," said God.

"That's Canada, the most glorious place on Earth.

There are beautiful mountains, lakes, rivers, streams and an
exquisite coastline.

The people from Canada are going to be modest, intelligent and
humorous and they're going to be found travelling the world.

They'll be extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving,

and they will be known throughout the of world as diplomats and
carriers of peace.

I'm also going to give them super-human, undefeatable ice
hockey players

who will be admired and feared by all who come across them."

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed;
"What about balance, God? You said there will be BALANCE!"

God replied wisely. "Wait until you see the loud-mouth bastards
I'm putting next to them...."

Three religious truths:

1. Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.
2. Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian
faith.
3. Baptists do not recognize each other in the liquor store or at
Hooters.
