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 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.
Lesson 2
A priest offered a Nun a lift. 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.
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.' Puff! 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.' Puff!
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
Lesson 4
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing
nothing.
A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I
also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered:
'Sure, why not.' So, the rabbit sat on the ground
below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox
appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting
very, very high up.
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 some of my droppings?' replied
the bull. They're packed with nutrients.' The turkey
pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually 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, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of
the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who
shot him out of the tree.
Moral of the story:
BullSh!t might get you to the top, but it won't keep
you there.
Lesson 6
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It
was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a
large field. While he was lying there, a cow came
by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird
lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize
how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out!
He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to
sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird d singing
and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat
discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and
promptly dug him out and ate him.
Morals of the story:
(1) Not everyone who sh*ts on you is your enemy
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend
(3) And when you're in deep sh*t, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
