Kekeke… Some of us may have read these before. Just for laughs!
Corporate Lesson 1:
A man went into the showers just as his wife finished hers. The doorbell rang. The wife, still clad in her bath towel, opens the door and there stood Bob, the next door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, “I’ll give you $800 to drop yr towel”.
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel. After a few seconds, Bob hands her the $800 and left. The woman retrieves the towel and returns to the room. The husband asks, “Who was that?”
“It was Bob, the next door neighbour”, she replied.
“Great! Did he mention anything about the $800 he owes me?”
Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.
Ok ok, the next one may be a fair bit sensitive to some of us. No offence intended really…
Corporate Lesson 2:
A priest offered a lift to a nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal the other. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling his car, he slid his hand up her leg.
The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129? The priest removed his hand. But, upon changing gear, he repeated the act again.
Once again, the nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?” The priest apologized, “Sorry Sister, but the flesh is weak”.
Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”
Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.
What were you thinking???
Corporate Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rubbed it and a Genie appeared. The Genie said, “I’ll give each of you just 1 wish.”
“Me first! Me first!”, says the admin clerk. “I want to be in Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world!” *Poof* She’s gone.
“Me next! Me next!”, says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life!” *Poof* He’s gone.
“Ok, you’re up”, says the Genie to the manager.
The Manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”
Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.
Corporate Lesson 4:
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A rabbit asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?”
The crow answered, “Sure, why not?”
So the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow and rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up. (True isn’t it? ;p)
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 my droppings? They are packed with nutrients.”
The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it 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 the fourth night, there he was, proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon, he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey down.
Moral of the story: Bullshit mght get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.
