Please note the descriptions of the American and Italian corporations. Hmmmmm.......

Thought this was good for a laugh... I swear the American one is dead-on accurate, at least where I work


THE "TWO COW EXPLANATION" OF WHAT MAKES...

A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT:You have two cows. You keep one and give one to
your
neighbor.

A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it
to
your neighbor.

A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?

A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none.You feel guilty
for
being successful.You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing
you
to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then

take
the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor -You feel
righteous.

A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides

you
with milk.

A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you
the
milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.

DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you
to
the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country
who
has
only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a
bull,
and
build a herd of cows.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes
them
both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, and then pours

the
milk down the drain.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one and force the
other
to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops
dead.

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you
want
three cows.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they
are
one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce 20 times the milk.

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You reengineer them so they
live
for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they

are.
You break for lunch.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you
have
five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count
them
again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open
another
bottle of vodka.

A MEXICAN CORPORATION: You think you have two cows, but you don't know
what
a cow looks like. You take a nap.

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5,000 cows, none of which belongs to you.

You
charge for storing them for others.

A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a
partnership
with an American corporation. Soon you have 1,000 cows and the American
corporation declares bankruptcy.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.
