I've been waiting for the silliness thread ALL WEEK! Some people don't have their priorities in order.
A fellow had just been hired as the new CEO of a large high tech corporation. The CEO who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three numbered envelopes. "Open these if you run up against a problem you don't think you can solve," he said.
Well, things went along pretty smoothly, but six months later, sales took a downturn and he was really catching a lot of heat. About at his wit's end, he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The message read, "Blame your predecessor."
The new CEO called a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. Satisfied with his comments, the press - and Wall Street - responded positively, sales began to pick up and the problem was soon behind him.
About a year later, the company was again experiencing a slight dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. Having learned from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read, "Reorganize." This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.
After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope.
The message said, "Prepare three envelopes."
looks good either way, I'd expect.
Josie and the Pussycats, long tails and ears for hats...
...for FRIDAY! FRIDAY, all you dirty-minded FReepers! =O
Hey, Big B...she's a youngun. I'd consider it cruel if I didn't know that with age comes wisdom. What do you think, Lady Jag?
I thought it was for Freepers as there is no F in Tennessee Volunteers. :)
I was preempting all the perverts who thought it might stand for something else! =)
Don'cha know that official wished he had a "do over."
The Irish daughter had not been to the house for over 5 years.
Upon her return, her father cussed her; "Where have you been all this time, you ingrate! Why didn't you write us; not even a line to let us know how you were doing? Why didn't you call? You little tramp! Don't you know what you put your Mum through??!!"
The girl, crying, replied, "Sniff, sniff... Dad... I became a prostitute..."
"WHAT!!? Out of here, you shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a disgrace to this family - I don't ever want to see you again!"
"OK, Dad - as you wish. I just came back to give Mom this luxury fur coat, title deeds to a ten room mansion, plus a savings account certificate for 200 million. For my little brother, this gold Rolex, and for you, Daddy, the spanking new Mercedes limited edition convertible that's parked outside, plus a lifetime membership to the Country Club...(takes a breath)... an invitation for you all to spend New Year's Eve on board my new yacht in the South of France, and...."
"Now, what was it you said you had become?"
Girl, crying again, "Sniff, sniff... A prostitute, Dad... Sniff, sniff."
"Oh, beJesus - you scared me half to death, girl! I thought you said "a Protestant. Come here and give your old man a hug!"
