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.
