Default Cow -isms

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



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



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

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



A FRENCH CORPORATION

You have two cows

You go on strike, organise 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 'Cowkimon' and market it worldwide



A GERMAN CORPORATION

You have two cows

You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month, and milk themselves



AN ITALIAN CORPORATION

You have two cows, but you don't know where they are

You decide to have lunch



A 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



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 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 now you are part of 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



A SOUTH AFRICAN CORPORATION

You have two cows

One is a black cow and one is a white cow. The white cow produces more milk but the black cow is previously disadvantaged so you obtain a contract to supply milk to the state at inflated prices. The black cow joins a Cosatu strike against high food prices while the white cow continues to produce milk. The state discovers that you are selling it milk from the white cow, accuses you of fronting, revokes your BEE status and re-possesses both cows. Both cows are slaughtered to celebrate Zuma's inauguration. Cosatu commence a second strike because now there is no milk…
