"My friend and I were in a record store to buy a 45-speed record of his favorite song. After he located it, he realized that he forgot his wallet. Instead of going out and getting his wallet, he decided to get a five-finger discount (shoplift) so he put it down his pants. Well, as we were leaving the store, the cashier stopped him and said, 'Excuse me, but is that a record in your pants?' To this he responded, 'It may not be a record, but I'm mighty proud of it.' ...Yeah, I know it didn't really happen, but I felt like telling my joke in this manner :-)." - Unknown
["I Heard this one from a dissident that our local Amnesty International group got out"] Through the center of Czechoslovakia there a train speeding along. In one compartment of the train there are four people. A beautiful vivacious young woman, an old matronly woman, a Russian soldier, and a Czech dissident. Suddenly the train goes through a tunnel. It is completely dark. Then is heard a loud kiss and an equally powerful slap. When the train exits the tunnel, the Russian soldier is holding the side of his face, and the Czech dissident is grinning his face off. The old matronly woman thinks : "Now that's a fine young woman, the Russian soldier tries to steal a kiss in the tunnel and the lady slaps him one!" The young woman is thinking : "Now that's a strange Russian soldier, he'd rather kiss that old hag than me." The Russian soldier is thinking : "Now that's a smart Czech, he steal the kiss and I get slapped." And the Czech dissident is thinking : "Gee I'm smart! We go through the tunnel, I kiss the back of my hand and get away with slapping a Russian soldier."

A Management Structure is often referred to as a tree. Top 11 reasons that this is an accurate description: 11 A man falling from the upper levels can often grab a lower branch to break his fall, but a man falling from lower levels goes straight to the ground. 10 If a branch falls off, most of the parasites move back to the main structure. 9 It takes years to react to any environmental change. 8 It sometimes carries a great many nuts. 7 If not pruned regularly it will not bear much fruit. 6 Small pieces which are chopped off often grow again in a few years. 5 It may provide shelter for those underneath, but also blocks out most of the light. 4 Parts of it can be used to make boards (of varying thickness) but unless properly seasoned the quality will be poor. 3 It bends easily in light winds but in storms it is rarely flexible enough to avoid damage. 2 Parts of it can be dead for years before they drop off. 1 Monkeys can get to the top with remarkable speed.
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 wits'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...."

A couple was planning a gala dinner party for all the celebrities and important people in Rome, Italy. The wife was thrilled; she swore everything to be perfect. But near sunset, she realized that she had no snails for the party. After she tired of scolding the maid, she handed her husband a bucket and told him to hurry down to the beach and gather some snails. Grudgingly he agreed. He took the bucket, walked out the door, down the steps, and out to the beach. His wife had been right again, there were snails here. As he collected them, he noticed a woman in a white bathing suit lingering along the waterfront. He kept thinking, "If only *she* would come talk to me." Which didn't seem likely! He kept gathering snails. After a while a shadow fell across the sand before him, and he looked up. The woman in the white bathing suit was standing over him. Close, she looked even better. She smiled. What a smile! They got to talking- about what, he could never be sure- and unbelievably she invited him to see her apartment, closeby. He picked up the bucket of snails and off they went. After a memorable visit in her bed, he fell into a dream. Suddenly he woke: It was seven o'clock the next morning. "Oh no!!! My wife's dinner party!!!" The beautiful woman murmured and turned over. Despite this distraction, he found his clothes, jumped into them, grabbed his bucket, and ran out the door. He ran all the way down the beach to his apartment building. He ran up the apartmenthouse stairs. Just as he neared the top, he heard his wife yelling at the maid; obviously she was just about to come out the door. The thought of facing her made him so nervous that he tripped over the top stair, and dropped the bucket of snails. Suddenly there were snails all over the landing, snails down all the stairs. The door opened just then. His wife stopped in her tracks and demanded, " Just where have you been all this time?" He looked at the snails all down the steps, then he looked at her, then back at the snails and he said, "C'mon guys, we're almost there!"
