 Lesson 1:* *

> A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is

> finishing up her

> shower, when the doorbell rings.



> The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and

> runs downstairs.



> When she opens the door, there stands Bob,

> the next-door neighbour.



> Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you

> $800* *

> to drop that towel.'



> 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 and leaves.



> The woman wraps back up in the towel and

> goes back upstairs.



> When she gets to the bathroom, her husband

> asks, 'Who was that?'



> 'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.



> 'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything

> about the $800 he owes me?'



> Moral of the story:



> If you share critical information pertaining to

> credit and risk with your shareholders in time,

> you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.



 

> Lesson 2:

> A priest offered a Nun a lift.



> She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her

> gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had

> an accident.



> After controlling the car, he stealthily slid

> his hand up her leg.



> The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'



> The priest removed his hand. But, changing

> gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.

> The nun once again said, 'Father, remember

> Psalm 129?'



> The priest apologized 'Sorry sister but the flesh

> is weak.'



> Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily

> and went on her way.



> On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed

> to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek,

> further up, you will find glory.'



> Moral of the story:

> If you are not well informed in your job, you might

> miss a great opportunity.



> Lesson 3:* *

> 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.



> The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one

> wish.'



> 'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I

> want

> to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without

> a care in the world.'



> Puff! She's gone.



> '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.'



> Puff! 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 the story:

> Always let your boss have the first say.



> Lesson 4

> An eagle was sitting on a tree resting,

> doing nothing.



> A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him,

> 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?'



> The eagle answered: 'Sure, why not.'



> So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the

> eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox

> appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.



> Moral of the story:

> To be sitting and doing nothing, you must

> be sitting very, very high up.





> Lesson 5* *

> 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 it actually gave him enough strength

> to reach the lowest branch of the tree.



> The next day, after eating some more dung,

> he reached the second branch.



> Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was

> proudly perched at the top of the tree..



> He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who

> shot him out of the tree.



> Moral of the story:* *

> Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it

> won't keep you there..



> Lesson 6

> A little bird was flying south for the winter.

> It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the

> ground into a large field.



> While he was lying there, a cow came by

> and dropped some dung on him.



> As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow

> dung, he began to realize how warm he was.



> The dung was actually thawing him out!



> He lays 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.



> Morals of the story:

> (1) Not everyone who sh*ts 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, it's best to keep

> your mouth shut! *
