How different cultures might view two cows in a field!! :)
Traditional Corporation 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.
American Corporation You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are suprised when the remaining cow drops dead.
Russian Corporation You have two cows. You count them, and learn you have five cows. You count them again, and learn you have 42. You count again , and learn you have 12. You stop counting, and open another bottle of Vodka!
French Corporation You have two cows. You go on strike, because you want THREE cows.
Japanese Corporation You have two cows. You re-design them so they are one-tenth the size, and produce twenty-times as much milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon, and market them worldwide.
German Corporation You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years and milk themsleves.
British Corporation You have two cows. Unfortunately, both are crazy.
Chinese Corporation You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim FULL employment, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.
ENRON Corporation 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 to a Cayman Island company, 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. You sell one cow to buy a new U.S. President, leaving nine cows. The public buys your BULL !!!
It seems this came from a 'round-robin' Email...... my name's not Robin, which is why I got it from a newspaper!! Enjoy!
