Economics - The Cow factor


My building maintenance doesn't know the meaning of moderation, the air con is either too hot or too cold.
.
.
Something light for Friday..
.
SOCIALISM :You have 2 cows, so 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.
.
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.

MALAYSIAN BUMIPUTRAISM :
You have two cows, the State takes one and gives it to your bumiputra neighbour. From the milk you sell from the remaining cow you buy a bull and multiply your herd. The State takes 30 per cent of your herd as it grows and give them to your bumiputra neigbour. Your bumiputra neighbour has a kenduri each time they receive a cow.
.
MALAYSIAN GOVERNMENT LINKED OR BUMIPUTRA CORPORATION :You have two cows. You employ mainly bumiputras to milk them. But both cows have been sent to the kenduri, so the State gives you more cows and write off the losses of the first two. After several kenduris later, you invite an American or German Corporation to turnaround the losses.. The Japanese have however already taken their two original cows back home to Japan .
.
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, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.
.
A 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.
.
A GERMAN CORPORATION :
You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION :
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch
.
A 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 because you're sobering up and open another bottle of vodka.
.
A SWISS CORPORATION :
You have 5,000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.
.
A CHINA 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.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION :
You have two cows. You worship them.
.
A BRITISH CORPORATION :
You have two cows. Both are mad.

Prayer

Grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change
The courage to change the things I cannot accept
and the wisdom to hid the bodies of those people I had
to kill today because they pissed me off.

And also help me to be careful on the toes I step on today
as they may be connected to the ass I may have to
kiss tomorrow

Help to always give 100% at work
12% on Monday
23% on Tuesday
40% on Wednesday
20% on Thursday
5% on Fridays

And help to remember .....
When I am really having a bad day
And it seems that people are trying to piss me off
That it takes 42 muscles to frown and
Only 4 to extend my middle finger and tell
them to bite me

How am I gonna live through year end!!!

So tired

Have you wonder why office staff is alwayz dead tired by the end of the day and companies really require no further physical fitness programmes for their employees. The reason is that EVERYONE gets enough exercise by:

1. Jumping to conclusion
2. Beating around the bush
3. Running down the boss
4. Going around the circles
5. Dragging their feet
6. Passing the buck
7. Climbing the ladder
8. Wading through paperwork
9. Pulling strings
10. Throwing their weight around
11. Stretching the truth
12. Bending the rules
13. Pushing their luck


NO WONDER THEY ARE ALL TIRED AT THE END OF A WORKING DAY!!

True Australian GHOST Story ~~ BOO!! ~~

This story happened a while ago in Brisbane,
and eventhough it sounds like an Alfred Hitchcock tale, it's TRUE.

John Bradford, a Sydney University student was on the side of the road,
hitch hiking on a very dark night and in the midst of a storm.
The night was rolling on and no car went by. The storm was so strong..
that he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him.

Suddenly he saw a car slowly coming...towards him and stopped.
John, desperate for shelter and without thinking about it, got in the car
and closed the door, just to realize that there was nobody behind the wheel
and the engine wasn't on! The car started moving SLOWLY....

John looked at the road and saw a curve approaching.
Scared, he started to pray, begging for his life. Then, just before he hit the curve,
a hand appeared through the window and turned the wheel.
John, paralysed with terror, watched how the hand appeared every time..
they came to a curve. John saw the lights of a pub down the road...
So, gathering strength, he quickly jumped out of the car and ran towards the pub.

Wet and out of breath, he rushed inside and asked for two shots of tequila.
He then started telling everybody about the horrible experience he went through.
A silence enveloped everybody when they realized he was crying and.... wasn't drunk.

About 15 minutes later, two guys walked into the same pub.
They were also wet and out of breath. Looking around and seeing John Bradford...
sobbing at the bar, one said to the other, "Look, Bruce.. here's the IDIOT !
that got in the car while we were pushing it."

HAHAHAHA........
