Funny Corporate Lessons

Corporate Lesson 1

A priest offered a lift to a Nun.

She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?”
The priest removed his hand.

But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.
The nun once again said, “Father, remember Psalm 129?”

The priest apologized “Sorry sister but the flesh is weak.”
Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way.

On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129.
It said, “Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.”

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Corporate Lesson 2

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.

They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, “I’ll give each of you just one wish.”
“Me first! Me first!” says the admin. clerk.

“I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world” Poof! She’s gone.

“Me next! Me next!” says the sales rep. “I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.” Poof! He’s gone.

“OK, you’re up,” the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, “I want those two back in the office after lunch.”

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say.


Corporate Lesson 3

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A rabbit asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?”

The crow answered: “Sure, why not.”

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and rested.
A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very high up.


Corporate Lesson 4

A turkey was chatting with a bull.

“I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, but I haven’t got the energy.”

“Well, why don’t you nibble on my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.”

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally after a fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: Bullshìt might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

Here’s a computer case you probably haven’t seen before. It’s a mold of a bikini girl with a full blown PC inside. Weird.

Transparent toasting

Transparent toaster
Yes, I know - this one is only conceptual. But I like the idea. Even though you have to see some heat wires, wouldn’t it be cool to actually look inside the toaster? I mean like just adding some kind of glass sides to a traditional toaster?

Classy doorbell

Doorbell Bottoms up
I fell for this doorbell immediately, and I don’t even know how it sounds like (hello, can you add a sound clip or something?) - but I think it’s got a very harmonious sound. It’s quite expensive though - $235. I hope they have a nice calibration routine for adjusting the hammer - crystal glasses tend to break very easily.

Drawings On Water

Drawings On Water


Akishima Laboratories, in Japan, have come up with a way to “draw” words and pictures on the surface of water, using an enclosure surrounded by 50 wave generators. The image is created by water pixels formed from the simultaneous intersection of all those waves.

Each letter or drawing remains in the water for a short while only, then fades away, but the machine can reproduce the same image every three seconds.

Toilet aquarium

Fishn'Flush
If you would install the ‘Fishn’Flush’ on your toilet, your guests would probably have to examine the fish tank thoroughly before they flush. But don’t worry - the fishes are isolated from the flush water and won’t be flushed away. The removable toilet aquarium is yours for $399.
