Interesting what one can learn in the beginning of an European History class...

SOCIALISM

You have 2 cows

You give one to your neighbour



COMMUNISM

You have 2 cows

The State takes both and gives you some milk



FASCISM

You have 2 cows

The State takes both and sells you some milk



NAZISM

You have 2 cows

The State takes both and shoots you



BUREAUCRATISM

You have 2 cows

The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away



TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM

You have two cows

You sell one and buy a bull

Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows

You sell them and retire on the income



SURREALISM

You have two giraffes

The government requires you to take harmonica lessons



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



ENRON VENTURE CAPITALISM

You have two cows

You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows

The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company

The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more

You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows

No balance sheet provided with the release

The public then buys your bull



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

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

A BRITISH CORPORATION

You have two cows

Both are mad



AN 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 Democracy



AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION

You have two cows

Business seems pretty good

You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate



A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION

You have two cows

The one on the left looks very attractive



A SOUTH AFRICAN CORPORATION

You have two cows

One is a black cow and one is a white cow. The white cow produces more milk but the black cow is previously disadvantaged so you obtain a contract to supply milk to the state at inflated prices. The black cow joins a Cosatu strike against high food prices while the white cow continues to produce milk. The state discovers that you are selling it milk from the white cow, accuses you of fronting, revokes your BEE status and re-possesses both cows. Both cows are slaughtered to celebrate Zuma's inauguration. Cosatu commence a second strike because now there is no milk…

A Nigerian 419 Cow Scam

You have no cows

You email millions of Americans claiming that a relative died leaving a million cows but no will, and ask for help claiming that for a thousand cows, you will give them half of his deceased relative's million cows.

Someone contacts you and agrees to give you a thousand cows for half a million cows.

You continue the scam until the American runs out of cows to give you, or refuses to give you any more cows.


A Siberian Corporation

You have two cows.

Both freeze solid in the winter.


A Palin Corporation

You have two cows.

You get into a helicopter and shoot at them below with a rifle.



A Bush Corporation

You have two cows

You accuse Iraq of having terrorist cows with WMD and invade it.

In the meantime, your cows slowly die of malnutrition, thirst, and exposure, because you neglected to graze them, and give them water, then your farm is foreclosed on after they die.

A Bachmann Corporation

You have two cows

You go on TV and claim that Democrats own anti-American terrorist Muslim cows, and that America is running out of milk.

Here is a closer approximation of an American Corporation:


AMERICAN CAPITALISM

You have two cows

Through mismanagement and neglect, both cows die.

The executives drink what little milk was produced, layoff the workers, and award themselves huge bonuses because they were contracturally obligated to do so.

A Conyers Corporation

You have two cows

Both refuse to produce any milk, trample all over your cash crops, break down the door of your farmhouse, and shit all over your rugs and furniture

You threaten to slaughter them!!

But instead, you write a STRONGLY WORDED letter to your neighbors about your cows' despicable and destructive actions, and how you came SO CLOSE to slaughtering them!!

bullophobic joke-

Three bulls shared a pasture. Bull #1 had 10 cows, bull #2 had 5 cows, and the bull #3 only had two cows.

One day, a cattle truck pulls up and out comes the biggest, strongest, meanest looking bull they had ever seen. Bull #1 says, "as a gesture of friendship, I'll give him 5 of my cows". Bull #2 thinks about it and replies, "I'll give three". Just then, they looked over and saw bull #3 start pawing the ground and snorting. Bull #2 says, "What are you doing? Are You crazy" Bull #3 replied, "No, I just want to make sure he knows I'm a bull."
