An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing
nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him,
'Can I also sit on my ass 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 on your ass
and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up._______________________________________________ __________________________________________
Lesson 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 manure droppings?' replied the bull. 'They're
packed with nutrients.'
The turkey pecked at a lump of manure, 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, 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 Shit might get you to
the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson Three
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(s):
(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your
enemy. (2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is
your friend. (3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to
keep your mouth shut!
