OK it's time to stop this pointless bickering. Here's something else to
think about.
I particularly like the one at the end of the lesson.

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 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 fourth night, 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: Bull crap might get you to the top, but it won't keep
you there.
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 asshole spoke
up. All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss. So the
asshole 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 asshole 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 crap!
Management Lesson: You don't need brains to be a Boss - any asshole will
do.
Lesson Number Four
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 Lesson:
1) Not everyone who craps on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of crap is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep doodoo, keep your mouth shut!
END OF LESSON!
Sometimes a majority means that all the fools are on one side.
