Corporate lessons

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 neighbor. 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 neighbor," 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 a 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," 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 he was 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.
