2010-07-22 You have two sheep |
|
 This was forwarded to me by my bro' in law. Another one of those
lists, but quite good tbh. LOL!
- SOCIALISM: You have 2 sheep, and you give one to your neighbour.
- COMMUNISM: You have 2 sheep. The State takes both and gives you
some wool.
- FASCISM: You have 2 sheep. The State takes both and sells you some wool.
- NAZISM: You have 2 sheep. The State takes both and shoots you.
- BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 sheep. The State takes both, shoots
one, shears the other, then throws the wool away...
- TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two sheep. You sell one and buy
a ram. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on
the income.
- SURREALISM: You have two giraffes. The government requires you
to take harmonica lessons.
- AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two sheep. You sell one, and
force the other to produce the wool of four sheep. Later, you hire a
consultant to analyse why the sheep has dropped dead.
- ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have two sheep. 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 sheep
back, with a tax exemption for five sheep. The wool rights of the
six sheep are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island
Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the
rights to all seven sheep back to your listed company. The annual
report says the company owns eight sheep, with an option on one
more. Sell one sheep to buy a new president of the United States,
leaving you with nine sheep. No balance sheet provided with the
release. The public buys your ram.
- THE ANDERSEN MODEL: You have two sheep. You shred them.
- A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two sheep. You go on strike,
organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three sheep.
- A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two sheep. You redesign them so
they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary sheep and produce twenty
times the wool. You then create a clever sheep cartoon image called
'baakimon' and market it worldwide.
- A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two sheep. You re-engineer them
so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and shear
themselves.
- AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two sheep, but you don't know
where they are. You decide to have lunch.
- A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two sheep. You count them and
learn you have five sheep. You count them again and learn you have 42
sheep. You count them again and learn you have 2 sheep. You stop
counting sheep and open another bottle of vodka.
- A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 sheep. None of them belong to
you. You charge the owners for storing them.
- A CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two sheep. You have 300 people
shearing them. You claim that you have full employment, and high sheep
productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the real
situation.
- AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two sheep. You worship
them.
- IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of sheep. You
tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the
**** out of you and invade your country. You still have no sheep, but
at least now you are part of a Democracy....
- WELSH CORPORATION: You have two sheep. The one on the left looks
very attractive.
- AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION: You have two sheep. Business seems
pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to
celebrate.
(I have no idea who originally wrote this. But I've a feeling that the
author was a non-Welsh traditional capitalist.)
