Corporate Lesson 5
A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love to be able to get to
the top of that tree," sighed the turkey, but I haven't got the
energy."
"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?" replied the
bull. "They're packed with nutrients."
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually gave
him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day,
after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a
fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the
tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey
out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Corporate Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there, a
cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there in
the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was
actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon
began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to
investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under
the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.
Moral of the story:
1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

Andy Rooney said on 60 minutes a few weeks back: (for those
of you that don't know Andy Rooney, he is an 82 year old US TV
commentator).
I
like big cars, big boats, big motorcycles, big houses and big campfires. I
believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some governmental
stooge with a bad comb-over who wants to give it away to crack addicts for
squirting out babies.
Guns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes
you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is
trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.
I believe they are called
the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls
belong in the Girl Scouts!
I think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong,
it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.
I don't think being a minority makes
you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are
truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet
Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have
things like the United Caucasian College Fund, Cloud Magazine. Entertainment
Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens. Jesse Jackson
will be knocking down your door.
I have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of
others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.
When 70% of the
people who get arrested are black, in cities where
70% of the population is
black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.
I know
what sex is, and there are not varying degrees of it. If I received sex from one
of my subordinates in my office, it wouldn't be a private matter or my personal
business. I would be "FIRED" immediately!
I believe that if you are selling
me a milk shake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do
it in English!
As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen,
you should have to speak English!
My father and grandfather didn't die
in vain so you could leave the countries you were born in to come over and
disrespect ours. I think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry
self if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand
the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.
I feel much
safer letting a machine with no political affiliation recount votes when needed.
I know what the definition of lying is.
I don't think just because you were
not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs,
government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel,
coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.
We did not go to the aid
of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their
freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our
constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.
I don't
hate the rich. I don't pity the poor. I know pro wrestling is fake, but so are
movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.
I think Bill
Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If
it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put
your name on the building. Ask your buddy that invented the Internet to help
you.
It doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it
does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when
necessary, and say "NO!"
I think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want
them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay
home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected
mouth as you serve me fries!
I am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a
lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can
they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around
saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great,
great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere
else.

On this day in McKinney, Texas, it was reported that a seventy-five-year-old male driver received ten traffic tickets, drove on the wrong side of the road four times, committed four hit-and-run offenses, and caused six accidents, all within twenty minutes. It is ironic that the record book's worst driver is a native Texan, because Texans, especially residents of Houston, are consistently ranked as the best drivers in the nation. On another record-breaking bad driver note, Mrs. Fannie Turner of Little Rock, Arkansas, finally overcame her driving demons this month in 1978 when she finally passed the written test for drivers--it was her 104th attempt.
| 1878 A Little
Help from His Friends
Long before the days of Bill Gates, Thomas Edison offered a good lesson in the economics of technical innovation. On October 15, 1878, Edison opened the doors to the Edison Electric Company, but the prolific inventor didn't get the company off the ground by himself. Edison Electric was, in part, funded by wealthy investors like J.P. Morgan, who thought Edison, the inventor of the telegraph, was a wise investment. Though electric light had eluded inventors for over fifty years, Edison had vowed that he would create the first incandescent lamp. He quickly made good on his promise. His company was soon flush with profits, and competitors hoping to cash in on the burgeoning market were springing up everywhere. Under the tutelage of Morgan, Edison adopted the aggressive tactics of vertical integration, buying his rivals and transforming his company into a model modern enterprise. Without anti-trust laws to put the breaks on the feeding frenzy, Edison's shop, re-christened the General Electric Company, dominated the field with just one major competitor, the Westinghouse Company. |
Why won't the NHL let Hamilton have a hockey franchise?
Because then
Toronto would want one too.
Bill worked in a pickle factory. He had been employed
there for a number of years when he came home one day to confess to his wife
that he had a terrible compulsion. He had an urge to stick his penis in
the pickle slicer. His wife suggested that he should see a therapist to talk
about it, but Bill indicated that he'd be too embarrassed. He vowed to
overcome the compulsion on his own.
One day a few weeks later Bill came home
absolutely ashen. His wife could see at once that something was seriously
wrong.
"What's wrong, Bill?" she asked.
"Do you remember that I told you
how I had this tremendous
urge to put my penis in the pickle slicer?"
"Oh,
Bill, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"My God, Bill, what happened?"
"I got
fired."
"No, Bill. I mean, what happened with the pickle
slicer?"
"Oh... she got fired too."

Did you know More Gaelic is spoken in Nova Scotia than in Scotland! The Antigonish Highland Games is North America's oldest Gaelic sporting event.
Two Arabs are sitting in the Gaza strip chatting over a pint of goats milk. One pulls his wallet out and starts flipping through pictures and they start reminiscing. This is my oldest son. He's a martyr." "Here's my second son. He's a martyr too!" After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Arab wistfully says, "They blow up so fast these days, don't they?"

By following the simple advice I read in an article, I have finally found
inner peace. I am passing this on to you because it has definitely worked for
me.
The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you've
started. So.................. I looked around to see all the things I started
and hadn't finished.
Today, I finished one small bottle of vodka, half a
bottle of red wine, a shot left in a bottle of Jack Daniels, what was left of my
Prozac, a box of chocolates and a quart of Baskin Robbins
Butter Pecan
Ice Cream. You have no idea how good I feel !!!!
Resolving to surprise her husband, an executive's wife stopped by his office.
When she opened the door, she found him with his secretary sitting in his lap.
Without hesitating, he dictated, "...and in conclusion, gentlemen, budget cuts or no budget cuts, I cannot continue to operate this office with just one chair."
