    apologys if this has been done in the recent past :

    Corporate Lesson 1

    A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower
    when the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over which one
    should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps
    herself
    up in a towel and runs downstairs.
    When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor.
    Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you 800 dollars to drop that
    towel that you have on."
    After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in
    front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her 800 dollars and leaves.
    Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up inthe
    towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets back to the bathroom, her
    husband asks from the shower "Who was that?"
    "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
    "Great," the husband says, "did he say anything about the 800 dollars he
    owes me?"
    Moral of the story:
    If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk in time with
    your stakeholders, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.

    Corporate lesson 2

    A priest was driving along and saw a nun on the side of the road, he stopped
    and
    offered her a lift which she accepted.
    She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to open and reveal a
    lovely leg.
    The priest had a look and nearly had an accident. After controlling thecar,
    he slid his
    hand up her leg.
    The nun looked at him and immediately said, "Father, remember psalm 29?"
    The priest was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced himself to
    remove his
    hand. However, he was unable to remove his eyes from her leg.
    Further on while changing gear, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
    The nun once again said, "Father, remember psalm 29?"
    Once again the priest apologized. "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
    Arriving at the convent, the nun got out gave him a meaningful glance and
    went on
    her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve abible
    and looked
    up psalm 29.
    It Said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
    Moral of the story:
    Always be well informed in your job, or you might miss a great
    opportunity!

    Corporate Lesson 3

    The middle level managers are more interested in Tennis.
    The top management usually has a preference for Golf.
    Finding:
    As you go up the corporate ladder, the balls reduce in size.

    Corporate Lesson 4

    A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch
    when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a
    puff of smoke.
    The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each ofyou
    just one."
    "Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas,
    driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
    Poof! She's gone.
    In astonishment, "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep.
    "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse,an
    endless supply of pina coladas and the love of my life."
    Poof! He's gone.
    "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
    The manager says,"I want those two back in the office after lunch."
    Moral of story:
    Always let your boss have the first say.
