Management Lessons from shit
A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw
the crow, and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day
long?"
The crow answered "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on the ground
below
the crow, and was shitting. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the
rabbit and ate it.
Management Lesson: To be shitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.
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 that it actually gave him
enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree. The next day,
after eating some more dung,he reached the second branch. Finally after a
fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree. Soon he
was promptly spotted by a farmer,who shot the turkey out of the tree.
Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to be Boss. The Brain said, "I should be Boss because I control the whole body's responses and functions." The feet said, "We should be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to where he wants to go." The hands said, "We should be Boss because we do all the work and earn all the money." And so it went on and on with the heart,the lungs and the eyes until finally the asshole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up and refused to work. Within a short time the eyes became crossed, the hands clenched, the Feet twitched, the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered. Eventually they all decided that asshole should be the Boss, so the motion was passed. All the other parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the shit!
Management Lesson: You don't need brains to be a Boss - any asshole will do.
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the bird
froze and fell to the ground in a large field. While it was lying there,
a cow came by and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay there
in
the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how warm it 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, promptly dug him out and ate him!
Management Lessons:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) Even when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut
