Humour
The American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican
village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were
several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his
fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, "Only a little
while." The American then asked, "Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more
fish?" The Mexican said, "With this I have more than enough to support my
family's needs." The American then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of
your time?" The Mexican fisherman said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with
my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I
sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life." The American
scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing;
and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat: With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could
buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling
your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor; eventually opening
your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would
need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles
and eventually New York where you will run your ever-expanding enterprise." The
Mexican fisherman asked, "But, how long will this all take?" To which the
American replied, "15 to 20 years." "But what then?" asked the
Mexican. The American laughed and said that's the best part. "When the time is right
you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich,
you would make millions." "Millions?...Then what?" The American said,
"Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep
late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the
village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your
amigos."
Two brothers are out for the day in their tin boat. The first one hooks into a big one,
fights it for a half hour or so and when the fish finally tires he brings it to the boat.
it is the drop-dead oddest fish they have ever seen. before they can drop it into the
cooler the fish says, "I'm an enchanted fish and if you'll let me go I'll grant your
any wish."
Well the boys are a bit skeptical but they decide he's too ugly to eat so they drop the
fish over the gunnel. looking up from the lake, the fish says "ok, what will it
be???"
Before having time to think the first brother says, "all right, turn the lake into
budweiser!"
Before you know it POOF! The lake turns into a foaming vat of beer.
"Now why did you go and do a damn fool thing like that" the other brother says,
"Now we'll have to pee in the boat!!!!" |
