Joke of the Day
Put about 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an
open window. Then send 2 or 3 candidates into the room and close the
door. Leave them alone, and come back after 6 hours, and then analyze
the situation:
1. If they are counting the bricks, put them in the accounting
department.
2. If they are recounting them, put them in auditing.
3. If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in
engineering.
4. If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in
planning.
5. If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in
operations.
6. If they are sleeping, put them in security.
7. If they have broken the bricks into pieces, put them in information
technology.
8. If they are sitting idle, put them in human resources.
9. If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick
has been moved, put them in sales.
10. If they have already left for the day, put them in marketing.
11. If they are staring out of the window, put them in strategic
planning.
12. If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been
moved, congratulate them and put them in top management.
13. Finally, if they have surrounded themselves with bricks in such a
way that they can neither be seen nor heard from, put them in Congress.
Thought of the Day
The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of 'liberalism,' they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
-Norman Thomas / U.S. Socialist Party Presidential candidate 1940
