THE "TWO-COW EXPLANATION" OF WHAT MAKES....
....A CHRISTIAN:
You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor.
....A SOCIALIST:
You have two cows. The government takes one and gives
it to your neighbor.
....A REPUBLICAN:
You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So what?
....A DEMOCRAT:
You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being
successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to
sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take
the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your
neighbor. You feel righteous.
....A COMMUNIST:
You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk.
....A FASCIST:
You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You
join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage.
....DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:
You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell
both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a
gift from your government.
....CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE:
You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.
....BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE:
You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the
other, pays you for the milk, then
pours the milk down the drain.
....AN AMERICAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of
four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
....A FRENCH CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You go on strike 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.
....A GERMAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You reengineer 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 break for 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 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
....A MEXICAN CORPORATION:
You think you have two cows, but you don't know what a cow looks like. You
take a nap.
....A SWISS CORPORATION:
You have 5000 cows, none of which belongs to you. You charge for storing
them for others.
....A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American
corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows and the American corporation declares
bankruptcy.
....AN INDIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. You worship them.
....A TALIBAN CORPORATION
You have two cows. You turn them loose in the Afghan "countryside" and they
both die. You blame the godless American infidels.
