Hi gang, I discovered the following on the Internet somewhere but it's been so many years ago that I forgot where. I thought it was pretty funny so figured I'd share... Small warning though, part of the whole thing contains strong stereotyping (even Dutch). If you can't appreciate that and get offended over that stuff then I suggest you don't read any of those. Then again... the whole thing is kind of stereotypical. Oh well... without further ado: 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 ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND (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. 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. A GREEK CORPORATION You have two cows. You borrow lots of euros to build barns, milking sheds, hay stores, feed sheds, dairies, cold stores, abattoir, cheese unit and packing sheds. You still only have two cows. A FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike, organize 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 a Cowkimona and market it worldwide. AN ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch. A SWISS CORPORATION You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them. A CHINESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation. AN INDIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You worship them. A DUTCH COMPANY You have two cows. There are so many regulations to protect the environment that you decide to keep them indoors and feed them hay throughout the whole year. You earn a government award for your biological 'all natural' milk. 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 you are now a 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...
I was warned I clicked anyways I didn't regret it I have never seen those jokes before, but I laughed out loud at most of them . Should I be ashamed?
Good find! I wasn't even aware of that. Then again, I don't search Wikipedia that often. Naah. Humor is all about poking fun at stuff sometimes The only reason I added the disclaimer is because I know that there are people out there who get offended by just about everything. Although I don't quite understand such attitudes I also think it's a small effort on my part to add a little warning for that.
You know, sometimes I really like playing cards against humanity too. Only if I play it with very close friends though. Then we all know what jokes we can make and which ones we shouldn't be making, but it gives me some kind of kick to make and laugh at some good dark humor (without having to be affraid to insult people) Not that these jokes are as bad as that kind of humor, but your post made me think about it.
