then throws the milk away...
SURREALISM:

lessons
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and
he economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of
four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped
dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads,
because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an
ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow
cartoon image called 'cowkimon' and market it worldwide.
A GERMAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once
a month, and milk themselves.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have
lunch.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count
them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you
have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
A SWISS CORPORATION:
You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for
storing them.
CHINESE CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have
full employment, and high bovine productivity, and execute the newsman
who reported the real situation.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You worship them.
IRAQI CORPORATION:
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. 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 cows, but at least now you are part of a democracy....
AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go
for a few beers to celebrate.
WELSH CORPORATION:
You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.
A SCOTTISH CORPORATION:
You put a fur coat on one and claim a new breed, you shove a scaffolding
tube up the behind of the other oneblow hard and try to make music, well sort
of...
AN ENGLISH CORPORATION:
You have two cows. The Government says you have to buy a license to
milk them, but first you have to do a risk assessment, which only the
government Quango is allowed to carry out. They charge you 5 times the cost of
doing it. They find that the three legged stool is a risk under health and
safety. You have to buy the EC approved 5 legged stool that is designed to
support
a milk maid of up to 250 kilos. It is too heavy to carry. The stool exceeds
EC weight lifting limits for workers by 4 kilos, which just happens to be the
weight of the fifth leg. To shift the stool from one cow to the other you
therefore need a special (EC approved) trolley. The new stool and trolley are
so expensive that you have to mortgage one of the cows to pay for them and pay
for the mandatory training course you must take to get your license to milk
the cows. You sell your milk to the supermarket chain that pays you F**k all
for it, and then they sell it to their customers for four times what they
paid you. Then they release a press statement about how wonderful they are to
support British Cows. The rest of the world thinks your cows are mad but you
and
your cows know that it is not true and anyway the rest of the world have no
intention of identifying and counting their mad cows so people in other
countries don't know their cows are really, really barmy do they.
You sell your cows to a Polish itinerant worker and your farm to a Russian
'investment bank' and then you leave to buy a villa by the sea in a country
where it is sunny and the cost of milk is a tenth the cost of milk at home.
They don't have a National Health Service.......but you are so happy and
relaxed your health improves and you live to be a hundred.
