Of Cows and Corporation
SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows and you give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and gives you some
milk.
FASCISM: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The Government takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both, shoots one, milks
the other and throws the milk away…
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. Later, you hire a consultant to
analyze why the cow dropped 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 a clever cow cartoon image called Cowkimon and market them
worldwide.
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 2 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 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 INDIAN CORPORATION: They have two cows. They worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. Both are mad.
AN EGYPTIAN CORPORATION: You have 2 cows, they both vote for Mubarak
