Five Corporate Lessons

This was in my email box:

>>>>FIVE 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 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 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 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.
>>>>
>>>>
>>>>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
