Corporate lesson 1: A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing up her
shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly
wraps herself in
a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the
door, there stands
Bob, the next-door neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you
$800 to drop that towel"
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her
towel and stands naked
in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her
$800 dollars and leaves.
The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back
upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks,
"Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great!" the husband
says, "did he say 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. Corporate Lesson 2: A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and
crossed her legs, forcing
her gown to reveal stretch of leg. The priest
nearly had an accident. After
controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up
her leg.
The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?"
The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he
let his hand slide up
her leg again. The nun once again 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.
Corporate Lesson 3: A Sales Rep, an Administration Clerk, and the
Manager are walking to lunch
when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and
a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one
wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the Admin. Clerk.
"I want to be in the 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 next," the Genie says 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.
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?"
replied the bull. "They're
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 a fourth night, there he was proudly
perched at the top of the tree.
Soon a farmer, who spotted him, shot the turkey out
of the tree.
Moral of the story:
Bullshìt might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.- Anonymous
