The boss of a small company called a spontaneous meeting in the middle of a particularly stressful week. When everyone gathered, the employer, who understood the benefits of having fun, told the burnt-out staff the purpose of the meeting was to have a quick contest, whose theme was "Viagra advertising slogans."Dividing into 10 groups of three, the only rule was they had to use past ad slogans that captured the essence ofViagra. About 7 minutes later they turned in their suggestions and created a "Top Ten List." After all the laughter and camaraderie, the rest of the week went very well for everyone. 10. Viagra, It's "Whaazzzzz Up!" 9. Viagra, The quicker pecker upper. 8. Viagra, Like a rock! 7. Viagra, When it absolutely, positively has to be there tonight. 6. Viagra, Be all that you can be. 5. Viagra, Reach out and touch someone. 4. Viagra, Strong enough for a man, but made for a woman. 3. Viagra, Tastes great!....More filling! 2. Viagra, We bring good things to life! And the unanimous number one slogan: 1. This is your penis. This is your penis on drugs. Any questions?

Rated G  Morris had just been hired as the new CEO of a large firm. The previous CEO met with him privately and presented him with three numbered envelopes: #1, #2, and #3. "Open these if you run up against a problem you don't think you can solve," the departing CEO said. Well, things went along pretty smoothly, but six months later, sales took a downturn, and Morris was really catching a lot of heat. About at his wit's end, he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The message read, "Blame your predecessor."Morris, the new CEO called a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO. Satisfied with his comments, the press -- and Wall Street - responded positively, sales began to pick upand the problem was soon behind him. About a year later, the company was again experiencing a slight dip in sales, combined with serious product problems. Having learned from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope. The message read, "Reorganize." This he did, and the company quickly rebounded. After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times. Morris went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope. The message read:"Prepare three envelopes!"

Rated G  Corporate Growth In the beginning there was the Plan. And then came the Assumptions. And the Assumptions were without form. And the Plan was without substance. And darkness was upon the face of the workers. And the Workers spoke amongst themselves, saying, "This is a crock full of shit and it stinks." And the Workers went unto their Supervisors and said, "It is a pail of dung, and we can't live with the smell." And the Supervisors went unto their Managers, saying, "It is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that none may abide by it." And the Managers went unto their Directors, saying, "It is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide it's strength." And the Directors spoke amongst themselves, saying to one another, "It contains that which aids plant growth, and it is very strong." And the Directors went to the Vice Presidents, saying unto them, "It : promotes growth and it is! very powerful." And the Vice Presidents went to the President, saying unto him, "This new plan will actively promote the growth and vigor of the company with very powerful effects." And the President looked upon the Plan and saw that is was good. And the Plan became Policy. And that, my friends, is how shit happens.
