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.

An oldie but a goldie!

A circus owner runs an ad for a lion tamer and two people show up.
One is a good looking older retired golfer in his late sixties and the other
is a gorgeous blonde in her mid-twenties.

The circus owner tells them, "I'm not going to sugar coat it. This
is one ferocious lion. He ate my last tamer so you two had better be good
or you're history, here is your equipment -- chair, whip and a gun. Who
wants to try out first?"

The girl says, "I'll go first."

She walks past the chair, the whip and the gun and steps right into
the lion's cage. The lion starts to snarl and pant and begins to charge
her. About half way there, she throws open her coat revealing her beautiful
naked body.

The lion stops dead in his tracks, sheepishly crawls up to her and
starts licking her feet and ankles. He continues to lick and kiss her
entire body for several minutes and then rests his head at her feet.

The circus owner's jaw is on the floor.

He says, "I've never seen a display like that in my life." He then
turns to the retired golfer and asks, "Can you top that?"

The tough old golfer replies, "No problem, just get that lion out of
the way".
 
Subject: Aussie Bloke

A plane passed through a severe storm. The turbulence was awful, and things
went from bad to worse when one wing was struck by lightening.

One woman lost it completely. She stood up in the front of the plane and
screamed, 'I'm too young to die,' she cried.
Then she yelled, 'If I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be
memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?'


For a moment, there was silence. Everyone stared at the desperate woman in
the front of the plane. Then a dinkum Aussie stood up in the rear of the
plane.


He was handsome, tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.
Slowly, he started to walk up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt as he went,
one button at a time. No one moved. He removed his shirt. Muscles rippled
across his chest. She gasped.....



Then, he spoke

...'Iron this will you -- and then get me a beer'
 
CORPORATE ZODIACS

Astrology tells us about you and your future simply
by your birthday.
The Chinese Zodiac uses the year of your birth.
Well, the Corporate Zodiac goes a step further:
simply by your job title, people will have you all
figured out...

MARKETING: You are ambitious yet stupid.You chose
a marketing degree to avoid having to study in college,
concentrating instead on drinking and socializing -
which is pretty much what your job responsibilities
are now. Least compatible with Sales.

SALES: Laziest of all signs, often referred to as
"marketing without a degree", you are also self-centered
and paranoid. Unless someone calls you and begs you to
take their money, you like to avoid contact with
"customers" so you can "concentrate on the big picture".
You seek admiration for your golf game throughout your
life.

TECHNOGEEK: Unable to control anything in your personal
life, you are instead content to completely control
everything that happens at your workplace. Often even
YOU don't understand what you are saying, but who the
heck can tell?! It is written that the Geeks shall
inherit the Earth.

ENGINEERING: One of only two signs that actually studied
in school,it is said that ninety percent of all Personal
Ads are placed by engineers. You can be happy with
yourself: your office is typically full of all the latest
"ergodynamic" gadgets. However, we all know what is
really causing your "carpal tunnel"...

ACCOUNTING: The only other sign that studied in school,
you are mostly immune from office politics. You are the
most feared person in the organization; combined with
your extreme organizational traits, the majority of
rumors concerning you say that you are completely
insane.

HUMAN RESOURCES: Ironically, given your access to
confidential information, you tend to be the biggest
gossip within the organization.Possibly the only other
person that does less work than marketing,you are unable
to return any calls today because you have to get a
haircut, have lunch, AND mail a letter!

MIDDLE MANAGEMENT/ DEPARTMENT MANAGEMENT/
"TEAM LEADS":
Catty, cut-throat, yet completely spineless, you are
destined to remain at your current job for the rest
of your life. Unable to make a single decision you tend
to measure your worth by the number of meetings you can
schedule for yourself.Best suited to marry other "Middle
Managers",as everyone in your social circle is a
"Middle Manager".

SENIOR MANAGEMENT: Catty, cut-throat, yet completely
spineless,you are destined to remain at your current job
for the rest of your life.Unable to make a single decision,
you tend to measure your worth by the number of meetings
you can schedule for yourself.
Best suited to marry other "Senior Managers", as everyone
in your social circle is a "Senior Manager".

CUSTOMER SERVICE: Bright, cheery, positive, you are a
fifty-cent cab ride from taking your own life. As a
child very few of you asked parents for a little cubicle
for your room and a headset so you could pretend to play
"Customer Service". Continually passed over for promotions,
your best bet is to sleep with your manager.
 
[FONT=&quot]A wife, being the romantic sort, sent her husband a text: “If you are[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile.[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking send me a sip. If[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]you are crying, send me your tears. I love you![/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The husband, typically non[/FONT][FONT=&quot] - [/FONT][FONT=&quot]romantic, replied, “I am on the dunny. Please advise."[/FONT][FONT=&quot][/FONT]
 
What is Celibacy?

Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by circumstances.
While attending a Marriage Weekend, my wife and I, listened to
the instructor declare; 'It is essential that husbands and wives know the
things that are important to each other.."
He then addressed the men,
'Can you name and describe your wife's favorite flower?'
I leaned over, touched my wife's hand gently, and whispered,
White Wings Self-Raising Flour, isn't it?

And thus began my life of celibacy....

Old Butch

Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs.

He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced.

This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters.

Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing.

Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.

Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all!

When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover.

To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.

He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one.

Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Brisbane City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.

The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well.

Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.
 
A Hell of a Day



I was sitting there at the bar staring at my drink when a large, trouble-making biker steps up next to me,

grabs MY drink and just gulps it all down, in one swig.

"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" He says menacingly, as I burst into tears.

"This is the worst day of my life," I say. "I'm a complete failure. I was late to a meeting, and my boss fired me.

When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen, and I don't have any insurance. I left my wallet in the cab I took home.

I found my wife with another man... and then my dog bit me. So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all.


"I buy a drink, I drop a cyanide capsule in, and I sit here watching the poison dissolve…


and then you show up and drink the whole damn thing! But enough about me, how are you doing?"
 
Those of us old enough to remember Abbott and Costello or have ever seen their "Who's on First" routine should appreciate this. A new take on Abbott and Costello with Costello wanting to buy a Computer from Abbott.

ABBOTT: Super Duper computer store. Can I help you?
COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den, and I'm thinking about buying a computer.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.
ABBOTT: Your computer?
COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.
ABBOTT: Mac?
COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.
ABBOTT: What about Windows?
COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?
ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with windows?
COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look in the windows?
ABBOTT: Wallpaper.
COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.
ABBOTT: Software for windows?
COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write proposals,track expenses and run my business. What have you got?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?
ABBOTT: I just did.
COSTELLO: You just did what?
ABBOTT: Recommend something.
COSTELLO: You recommended something?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: For my office?
ABBOTT: Yes.
COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?
ABBOTT: Office.
COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!
ABBOTT: I recommend office with windows.
COSTELLO: I already have an office and it has windows! OK, lets just say, I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I need?
ABBOTT: Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: Word in Office.
COSTELLO: The only word in office is office.
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: Which word in office for windows
ABBOTT: The Word you get when you click the blue "W."
COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue "w" if you don't start with some straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?
ABBOTT: Yes, you want Real One.
COSTELLO: Maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of your business. Just tell me what I need!
ABBOTT: Real One.
COSTELLO: If it's a long movie I also want to see reel 2, 3 & 4. Can I watch them?
ABBOTT: Of course.
COSTELLO: Great, with what?
ABBOTT: Real One.
COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?
ABBOTT: You click the blue "1."
COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?
ABBOTT: The blue "1."
COSTELLO: Is that different from the blue w?
ABBOTT: The blue 1 is Real One and the blue W is Word.
COSTELLO: What word?
ABBOTT: The Word in Office for Windows.
COSTELLO: But there's three words in "office for windows"!
ABBOTT: No, just one. but its the most popular Word in the world.
COSTELLO: It is?
ABBOTT: Yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other Words left. It pretty much wiped out all the other Words out there.
COSTELLO: And that word is real one?
ABBOTT: Real One has nothing to do with Word. Real One isn't even Part of Office.
COSTELLO: Stop! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping? You have anything I can track my money with?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: That's right. What do you have?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?
ABBOTT: It comes bundled with your computer.
COSTELLO: What's bundled to my computer?
ABBOTT: Money.
COSTELLO: Money comes with my computer?
ABBOTT: Yes. No extra charge.
COSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?
ABBOTT: One copy.
COSTELLO: Isn't it illegal to copy money?
ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy money.
COSTELLO: They can give you a license to copy money?
ABBOTT: Why not? THEY OWN IT!
(LATER)
COSTELLO: How do I turn my computer off??
ABBOTT: Click on "START"..........

hahaha love this......
