    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.

    MANAGEMENT LESSON: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Finally, in order to determine who did it, almost every girl in the office had to be scanned before the problem was resolved.

    GI Insurance

    Airman Jones was assigned to the induction center, where he advised new recruits about their government benefits, especially their GI insurance.

    It wasn't long before Captain Smith noticed that Airman Jones was having a staggeringly high success-rate, selling insurance to nearly 100% of the recruits he advised.

    Rather than asking him about this, the Captain stood at the back of the room and listened to Jones' sales pitch.

    Jones explained the basics of GI Insurance to the new recruits, and then said, "If you are killed in a battle and have a GI Insurance, the government has to pay $200,000 to your beneficiaries. But, if you don't have a GI insurance and get killed in the battle, the government only has to pay a maximum of $6000."

    "Now," he concluded, "which group do YOU think they are going to send into battle first?"

    A fire alarm rang at 4 pm in a large office campus when almost all employees were present (approx 5,000 people ).

    As per past fire-drill practices, the entire office was quickly evacuated within 3 minutes, and all employees gathered outside the complex in designated areas waiting for further announcement.

    Before long, the fire drill officer in-charge made the following broadcast over their loud-speakers system : "My dear colleagues : With sincere regret, I have been asked to announce that for many of you, this will be your last evacuation drill with us. Due to the on-going recession and bad business climate, the company is laying off almost 50% of its staff. So when this announcement finishes, I ask all of you to move back into the building. And if your swipe-card does not work, then it means that you have been laid off, in which case you will not be allowed inside, and all your personal belongings will be couriered to you by tomorrow.

    The company is using this innovative, never-before approach as we do not want to choke our email system with lay-off notices and farewell messages going by the thousands, and we also wish to avoid any fighting inside the office and the consequent security issues for all staff.

    We hope you have had a rewarding career with us. Now please move back in… and good luck !

    A businessman was interviewing applicants for the position of divisional manager. He devised a simple test to select the most suitable person for the job. He asked each applicant the question, "What is two and two?"

    The first interviewee was a journalist. His answer was "twenty-two. "

    The second applicant was an engineer. He pulled out a calculator and showed the answer to be between 3.999 and 4.001.

    The next person was a lawyer. He stated that in the case of Jenkins v. Smith, two and two was proven to be four.

    The last applicant was an accountant. The businessman asked him, "How much is two and two?"

    The accountant got up from his chair, went over to the door, closed it then came back and sat down. He leaned across the desk and said in a low voice, "How much do you want it to be?"

    He got the job...

    Special Scheme for Employees....

    Dear staff,

    Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of Economy since last Christmas, Management has decided to implement a scheme To put workers of 40 years of age on early retirement.This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People early).

    Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination). Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW scheme (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate. Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants or Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance).Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by management.

    B/O!!!.

    A lawyer dies and goes to heaven.

    (No, that's not the entire joke.)

    He complains, "How can I be dead already! I'm only 57!"

    St. Peter replies, "That's funny. Based upon your billing hours, you must be at least 87."
