Cow Economies

TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: 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.
.
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 anordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create clever cowcartoon images called Cowkimon and market them World-Wide.
.
A GERMAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You reengineer 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.

AN INDIA 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.
.
AN ISRAELI CORPORATION So, there are these two Jewish cows, right? They open a milk factory, an icecream store, and then sell the movie rights. They send their calves to Harvard to become doctors. So, who needs people?
.
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 bythe 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. No balance sheet provided with the release.

Changin' the post titles

I wanted to post something, but I wasn't sure what to put. I guess I'll just kinda ramble on. oh. This one guy in BK, as he walked passed David and I said, "excuse me brethren." And I was like, whoa, did that guy just say that? He looked like a skill lube guy... weird. anyway. was shopping all day... fun stuff. Got a suit. yeah... going to a banquet with Bon and needed one. So yeah, I got one. but yeah and stuff. I'm quickly running out of material to write on. That's why I don't post that much... at all. Oh well. Maybe later... yeah...
.
Oh yeah. I decided to change the names of my posts from just being a random number. That got kinda old after a while. but yeah. oh well. and stuff... can't forget that....

Isn't the color grand?

Sr. High Retreat tomorrow!! It's going to be great. These last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic: David getting his wisdom teeth out, the construction on our house,... school. I'm glad that the retreat is finally here. There's disc golf there! How cool is that? It's great. I need to hone up on my disc golf skills, so I'm probably not going to do to swell; but oh well! It don't matter, I'm going to have fun all the same. Anyway.

Can't wait 'til next weekend; it's going to be Freed's homecoming and Bonny's going to be in the play. So I'm going to go see that. And then the next weekend Bonny gets to come back for Thanksgiving, so that's real cool. I can't wait until Thanksgiving either. Mmm Mmm, good food. It's a great holiday. But yeah. Well, I think I'm done blogging for right now.
