The BottleNeck and the Rich

March 8th, 2008 by Administrator

I heard a quote and a joke on an entrepreneurship seminar and thought it worthwhile to share here.

The bottleneck is always at the top of the bottle“.  This was purportedly a quote from Peter Drucker, and illustrates that it is the CEOs responsibility to prepare the talents and the skills of the company to do battle.  More often than not, the failure of the company to seize opportunities, or to grow may be due to the limitations of the CEO in not laying the proper groundwork for the company.

While acknowledging that the CEO has this responsibility though, it is important to note that we are all human, and nobody is God, and it is not right to put into the CEO God-like or perfect expectations in anticipating and planning for everything.

This joke is a dig on old wisdom….

An ancient Greek philosopher once was said to write, ” It is not the man who has little but the man who craves more who is poor.”

This saying underlies the need to be satisfied and content, and lays the groundwork for our next joke.

“Who is richer, the man with ten children, or the man with $10 million.”

” The man with 10 Children.”

“Why?”

“Because the man with 10 children doesn’t want any more!”

Motivating People to Not Do What you don’t want them to do

February 9th, 2008 by Administrator

This is a great joke, but most important, it is a joke that highlights a human frailty, and how to overcome it.

I think Great jokes not only make us feel good, but it also makes us think…. in this case what did the old man do so that he would accomplish his objectives?

Comedy Central – The Wise Old Man

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace and contentment. Then a new school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful, after-school enthusiasm, came down his street, beating merrily on every trash can they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after day, until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some action….

Guardian Angel

October 17th, 2007 by Administrator

A man was walking in the street when he heard a voice: “Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step, a brick will fall down on your head and kill you.”

The man stopped and a big brick fell right in front of him. The man was astonished. He went on, and after awhile he was going to cross the road.

Once again the voice shouted: “Stop! Stand still! If you take one more step a car will run over you and you will die.”

The man did as he was instructed, just as a car came careening around the corner, barely missing him.

“Where are you?” the man asked. “Who are you?”

“I am your guardian angel,” the voice answered.

“Oh yeah?” the man asked… “And where were you when I got married?”

Cheating Wives and Husbands

October 15th, 2007 by Administrator


The 1st Affair

A married man was having an affair

with his secretary.

One day they went to her place

and made love all afternoon.

Exhausted, they fell asleep

and woke up at 8 PM.

The man hurriedly dressed

and told his lover to take his shoes

outside and rub them in the grass and dirt.

He put on his shoes and drove home.

‘Where have you been?’ his wife demanded.

‘I can’t lie to you,’ he replied,

‘I’m having an affair with my secretary.

We had sex all afternoon.’

She looked down at his shoes and said:

‘You lying bastard!

You’ve been p laying golf!’

The 2nd Affair

A middle-aged couple had two beautiful daughters

but always talked about having a son.

They decided to try one last time

for the son they always wanted.

The wife got pregnant

and delivered a healthy baby boy.

The joyful father rushed to the nursery

to see his new son.

He was horrified at the ugliest child

he had ever seen.

He told his wife: ‘There’s no way I can

be the father of this baby.

Look at the two beautiful daughters I fathered!

Have you been fooling around behind my back?’

The wife smiled sweetly and replied:

‘Not this time!’

The 3rd Affair

A mortician was working late one night.

He examined the body of Mr. Schwartz,

about to be cremated,

and made a startling discovery.

Schwartz had the largest private part

he had ever seen!

‘I’m sorry Mr. Schwartz,’ the mortician

commented, ‘I can’t allow you to be cremated

with such an impressive private part.

It must be saved for posterity.’

So, he removed it,

stuffed it into his briefcase,

and took it home

‘I have something to show

you won’t believe,’ he said to his wife,

opening his briefcase.

‘My God!’ the wife exclaimed,

‘Schwartz is dead!’


The 4th Affair

A woman was in bed with her lover

when she heard her husband

opening the front door.

‘Hurry,’ she said, ’stand in the corner.’

She rubbed baby oil all over him,

then dusted him with talcum powder.

‘Don’t move until I tell you,’

she said, ‘pretend you’re a statue.’

‘What’s this?’ the husband inquired

as he entered the room.

‘Oh it’s a statue,’ she replied,

‘the Smiths bought one and I liked it

so I got one for us, too.’

No more was said,

not even when they went to bed.

Around 2 AM the husband got up,

went to the kitchen and returned

with a sandwich and a beer.

‘Here,’ he said to the statue, have this.

I stood like that for two days at the Smiths

and nobody offered me a damned thing.’


The 5th Affair

A man walked into a cafe,

went to the bar and ordered a beer.

‘Certainly, Sir, that’ll be one cent.’

‘One Cent?’ the man exclaimed.

He glanced at the menu and asked:

‘How much for a nice juicy steak

and a bottle of wine?’

‘A nickel,’ the barman replied.

‘A nickel?’ exclaimed the man.

‘Where’s the guy who owns this place?’

The bartender replied:

‘Upstairs, with my wife.’

The man asked: ‘What’s he doing upstairs

with your wife?’

The bartender replied:

‘The same thing I’m doing

to his business down here.’


The 6th Affair

Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bedside.

He looked up and said weakly:

‘I have something I must confess.’

‘There’s no need to, ‘his wife replied.

‘No,’ he insisted,

‘I want to die in peace.

I slept with your sister, your best friend,

her best friend, and your mother!’

‘I know,’ she replied,

‘now just rest and let the poison work.’

So Far…

July 23rd, 2007 by Administrator

This is another anecdote. Unlike the other one, this shows how we can be discontended even if we are so fortunate:

Two businessmen met in the street. One was looking so sad, so the other person asked why:

“Well, three weeks ago, an uncle died and left me with $50,000″, the sad fellow said.

“That’s not bad”, said the busnessman.

“Yes, and two weeks ago, a cousin I did not know had an accident, and I found out he left me with $20,000.”

“So what is the problem?” the businessman queried.

“Well, that’s not all. Last week, my grandfather passed away, and left me with $500,000.” said the sad fellow.

“I still don’t see the connection. why are you so sad then?”, ask the friend.

“Look. The week is almost over… And so far - nothing! Nobody died!”

Parents

July 23rd, 2007 by Administrator

Got this anecdote to share: This illustrates how the kid appreciates what the parents do.

Two kids were talking to each other. One says, ” I’m really worried. My dad works twelve hours a day to give me a nice home and good food. My mom spends teh whole day cleaning and cooking for me. I’m worried sick!”

“What have you got to worry about? Sounds to me you are so fortunate?”

The first kid says, ” What if they try to escape?”

Before and After Marriage

June 30th, 2007 by Administrator

Got this on my mailbox, and since i have not posted on the jokes for sometime, thought this was an amusing piece.

Before the marriage:
He: Yes. At last. It was so hard to wait.
She: Do you want me to leave?
He: NO! Don’t even think about it.
She: Do you love me?

He: Of course!
She: Have you ever cheated on me?
He: NO! Why are you even asking?
She: Will you kiss me?
He: Yes!
She: Will you hit me?
He: No way! I’m not such kind of person!
She: Can I trust you?

Now after the marriage you can read it from
bottom to the top !!!!

Seriously, folks - there is no reason why you would be less happier after marriage compared to before.  things change, but then you evolve because it is a better arrangement, and it is.

Cynicism that Humors

May 13th, 2007 by Administrator

I was reading the below article in Time Magazine which is a study that says why American Idol is so popular.  A few issues later, a reader purports to share his half cent worth:

“You don’t need two pages to explain why American Idol is a hit.  You only need four words. Americans have AWFUL taste.”

That remark, whether the author intended to be good humored or cynical, could not help eliciting some smiles.

Why American Idol Keeps Soaring | TIME

Theoretically, American Idol should not exist. It’s a broad-based mainstream hit when series like that are no longer supposed to be. It has gained viewers in its sixth season, a TV near impossibility. It sells albums, at a time when very little else does.
