Cows, Political Solutions and Business Techniques
(this is about the 10th time I have tried to post this so fingers crossed)
Ever wonder how political solutions work, Here's an explanation using cows as an analogy:
CAPITALISM: You have two cows.You sell one and buy a bull.Your herd mulitiplies, and the economy grows.You sell them and retire on the income.
SOCIALISM: You have two cows and give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and gives you somemilk.
FASCISM: You have two cows, the government takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM:You have two cows. The government takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRACY: You have two cows; the government shoots one, milks the other and throws the milk away.
I recently heard some additional definitions about national business techniques. So staying with the cow theme
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force theother to produce the milk of four cows. Later you hire a consultant toanalyse why the cow dropped dead.
A FRENCH FIRM: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want threecows.
A JAPANESE COMPANY: You have two cows. You redesign them so they areone-tenth the size and produce 20 times the milk. You create a clever cowcartoon image called Cowkimon and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN COMPANY: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
AN ITALIAN COMPANY: You have two cows, but you don't know where they are.You open a bottle of wine.
A RUSSIAN COMPANY: You have two cows. You count them and learn you havefive cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You stopcounting and open another bottle of Vodka.
A SWISS COMPANY: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You chargeothers for storing them.
A CHINESE COMPANY: You have three cows. You have 300 people milking them.You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsmanwho reported the numbers.
AN INDIAN COMPANY: You have two cows. You worship them.
A BRITISH COMPANY: You have two cows. Both are mad.

I remember a butcher who during the BSE crisis had a note in his shop window that read 'The only mad cow here is the wife'. The town still turned veggie.

Excellent post!
A Brazillian company - you have lots of cows, you rip all the hair of their bodies and they dance as they are milked?
