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 sighed heavily and
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:
>
Bull Shit 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 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 shits on you is your enemy.
>
>
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your
friend.
>
>
(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep
your mouth shut!

THUS ENDS THE FIVE MINUTE MANAGEMENT COURSE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
Little Sally came home from school with a smile on
her face and told her mother, "Frankie Brown showed me his weenie today
at the playground!"
>
Before the mother could raise a concern, Sally went
on to say, "It reminded me of a peanut."
>
Relaxing with a hidden smile, Sally's Mom asked,
"Really small, was it?"
>
Sally replied, "No...salty. "
>
Mom fainted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
>
An elderly spinster who was a dog lover agreed to
look after and house her neighbour’s dog while they went on their
holidays. The only problem was that the spinster’s own dog was a
bitch that was 'in heat' and the neighbour’s dog was a male.
Nevertheless she had a large house and she was able to keep the two
dogs apart.
>
>
As she lay in her bed drifting off to sleep, the
spinster was suddenly awakened by an awful howling and moaning sound
from downstairs. She rushed downstairs to find the dogs locked
together - mating. The dogs were in obvious pain howling but
unable to disengage. Try as she might she could not part them and
she was perplexed as what to do next.
>
>
Though it was late she reluctantly phoned the Vet,
and after a few rings a rather grumpy voice of the Vet answered the
phone.
>
>
The spinster explained the problem.
>
>
The Vet said. "I want you to take the phone to the
dogs and place it down alongside them. I will then phone your
number back and the noise of the telephone ringing should make the male
dog lose his erection and be able to withdraw from the bitch."
>
>
"Oh," said the spinster ... "Do you think that will
work?"
> .
> .
>
"Well," the Vet replied, "WELL, IT JUST WORKED FOR ME
!!!!!!"
