Cows And The Economy

Got this in an email. I reckon it’s mostly on-topic .

Cows and the Economy

You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies,and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company,using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. Sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public buys your bull.

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 twenty times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them World-Wide.

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

A BRITISH CORPORATION
You have two cows. Both are mad.

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 SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

A HINDU CORPORATION
You have two cows. You worship them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION
You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.

GLOBAL CORPORATION.

you have two cows which are allowed to graze freely over the green green lush grasses of their choosing.
welcomed by each country of decision and milked accordingly to their production.

each cow is allowed to be as much as a cow is understood as to be, and to develop and grow unrestrictedly.

in recompense to this natural global awareness, the milk produced is of a standard uncomparable. the life expectancy of both man and cow are benefitted also as this harmonious appoach reduces stress and strain and provides a basic food substance of life.

Which one’s your favourite? :slight_smile:
I love the Italian and British ones.

an hospitable suggestion
and rich enhancement to the many things

why do we limit so?

ok british and italian may be delightful, but has one tried them all,

for i could not say of favourite, maybe preference. until having experienced the many more there are.

i wonder what of the countries of lush green moist rain forests
or tropical paradises
even the sanatory of ice capped frozen lands.

the mind is an immeasurable beautiful blessing bestowed
of which then a duty for better humanity and milcowity cohabitation.
we all have purpose, to benefit better from our purposes better understanding (maybe by analogy) just may make milky ways.
light and fluffy

Hugs and smiles
across the miles
