    >>MANAGEMENT LESSONS
    >>*****************************
    >>Lesson Number One
    >>*****************
    >>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 rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared,
    >>jumped on
    >>the
    >>rabbit and ate it.
    >>
    >>Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must
    >>be sitting very, very high up.
    >>
    >>Lesson Number Two
    >>*****************
    >>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, and promptly dug him out
    >>and ate him!
    >>
    >>Management Lessons:
    >>1) Not everyone who drops sh*t on you is your enemy.
    >>2) Not everyone who gets you out of sh*t is your friend.
    >>3) And when you're in deep sh*t, keep your mouth shut!
    >>
    >>Lesson Number Three
    >>*******************
    >>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 the 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 as*hole spoke up. All the parts laughed at the
    >>idea of the as*hole being the Boss. So the as*hole 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 the
    >>as*hole
    >>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 sh*t!
    >>Magement Lesson: You don't need brains to be a Boss - any as*hole will
    >>do.
    >>
    >>Lesson Number Four
    >>******************
    >>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: Bullsh*t might get you to the top, but it
    >>won't keep you there.
