***************
1. SOCIALISM
* You have two cows, and you give one to your neighbour.
2. COMMUNISM
* You have two cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.
3. FASCISM
* You have two cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.
4. NAZISM
* You have two cows. The State takes both and shoots you.
5. BUREAUCRATISM
* You have two cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, then throws the milk away…
6. CORRUPTIONISM*
* You have two cows. The State says they do not have birth certificates. You bribe them one. They certify the other as your child.
7. PROTECTIONISM*
* You have two cows. The State uses import taxes to buy them milk.
8. SURREALISM
* You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons.
9. 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.
10. AFGHANISTAN CORPORATION*
* You have two cows. They have been fighting all the time. Both are remotely controlled.
11. 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. 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 buys your bull.
* ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP MODEL: You have two cows. You shred them.
* GEORGE W. BUSH & CHENEY CORPORATION*: You have two cows. You eat them all, invade Iraq, torture their cows until they give you oil.
12. AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION
* You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.
13. BRITISH CORPORATION
* You have two cows. Both are mad.
14. CANADIAN CORPORATION
* You have two cows, one French one English, both want to have their own field. One cow gets ill, you wait for the authorities to pay for the vet to come out.
15. CHINESE CORPORATION
* You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.
16. FRENCH CORPORATION
* You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows.
17. GERMAN CORPORATION
* You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves.
18. INDIAN CORPORATION
* You have two cows. You worship them.
19. IRAQI CORPORATION
* 2003: 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 a Democracy…
* 2010*: You have two cows. They make bombs to kill whoever around. Someone makes a movie about that and gets an Oscar.
20. ITALIAN CORPORATION
* You have two cows, but you don’t know where they are. You decide to have lunch.
21. 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.
22. MALTESE CORPORATION (from here)
* You have two cows. Business was doing good, but with foreign produce entering at the cheapest price ever, your livelihood is threatened. The government’s response has been: “don’t panic.”
23. NORTH KOREA CORPORATION*
* You have no cow. You keep creating and testing nukes instead, so others have to give you milk.
24. NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION
* You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.
25. RUSSIAN CORPORATION
* You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. 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.
26. SINGAPOREAN CORPORATION*
* You have two cows. You send them overseas to study, then let them manage 10 cows imported from elsewhere.
27. SOMALIA CORPORATION*
* You have various cows. All are killing each other but no one really cares. You incorporate a pirate corp so the whole world can watch your starvation.
28. SWISS CORPORATION
* You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.
29. VIETNAMESE CORPORATION
* You have some cows. The State says the cows are for farming only and they buy your cows at the prices of cows. The State then says the cows are cars, and they sell the cows back to you at the prices of cars.
