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. After a few seconds of arguing over
which one should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly
wraps herself up 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 just to drop that
towel that you have on". After thinking for a moment, the woman drops
her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. Bob has a close look at her
for a few seconds, hands over $800 and quietly leaves.

Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up
in
the towel and goes upstairs. When she gets back to the bathroom, her
husband asks from the shower "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:
Share critical credit information with your stakeholders to prevent
avoidable exposure!



CORPORATE LESSON # 2

A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road; he
stopped and offered her a lift which she gladly accepted. She got in
and
crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a lovely leg. The
priest had a look and nearly had an accident. After controlling the
car,
he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and
immediately said, "Father, remember psalm 129?"

The priest was flustered and apologized profusely.

He forced himself to remove his hand. However, he was unable to remove
his eyes from her leg.

Further on, while changing gear, he let his hand slide up her leg
again.
The nun once again said, "Father, remember psalm 129?"

Once again the priest apologized. "Sorry sister, but the mind is weak."

Arriving at the convent, the nun got out, gave him a meaningful glance
and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to
retrieve a bible and looked up psalm 129. It Said," Go forth and seek;
further up, you will find glory."

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Always be well informed in your job; or, you might miss great
Opportunities!


CORPORATE LESSON # 3

A young executive was leaving the office at 6 PM when he found the CEO
standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important
document
and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?"

"Certainly, Sir" said the young executive. He turned the machine on,
inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.

"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside
the
machine." I just need one copy."

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Never, never assume that your BOSS knows everything.


CORPORATE LESSON # 4

There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French,
who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie
appears. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle,
he
said, "Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a
wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want
the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true."

The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted
WINE". The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman
was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.

Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and
immersed himself into a pool of vodka.

The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so
contented with his beer pool.

The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly
he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted,
"SH**!!!!!!!........."

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Mind your language, you never Know what it will land you in.
