8 Monkeys of Company Policies

March 17th, 2010 / No Comments » / by joker

This is how company policies are made (This is based on an actual experiment conducted in U.K.)

*Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.

* ** *Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable.

* ** *Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up.  Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder.

* ** *One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder.

* ** *All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why.  However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.

* ** *A second original monkey is removed and replaced.  The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him. This includes the previous new monkey, who is grateful that he’s not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he’s attacking the new monkey.

** *One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced. Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why.

* ** *This is how any company’s policies get Established.***

A Wicked Mail from a Frustrated Victim of Chain Mails

February 25th, 2010 / No Comments » / by joker

I wanted to thank all my friends and family who have forwarded chain letters to me in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and continuing it in 2010 also…….

Because of your kindness:

* I stopped drinking Coca Cola after I found out that it’s good for removing toilet stains.

* I stopped going to the movies for fear of sitting on a needle infected with AIDS.

* Forwarded hundreds of mails but still waiting for FREE DESKTOP, FREE LAPTOP, FREE CAMERA, FREE CELLPHONE etc…..

* I smell like a wet dog since I stopped using deodorants because they cause cancer…

* I don’t leave my car in the parking lot or any other place and sometimes I even have to walk about 7 blocks for fear that someone will drug me with a perfume sample and try to rob me.

* I also stopped answering the phone for fear that they may ask me to dial a stupid number and then I get a phone bill with calls to Uganda, Pakistan, Singapore and Tokyo…

* I also stopped drinking anything out of a Can for fear that I will get sick from the rat faeces and urine.

* I also donated all my savings to the Amy Bruce account. A sick girl that was about to die in the hospital about 7,000 times…. (Poor girl! she’s been 7 since 1993…)

* Still open to help somebody from Nigeria who wants to use my account to transfer his uncle’s property of $ 100 million. So much trustworthy.

* I have forwarded 40 emails to 500 people hoping that Ericsson or Nokia will send me latest mobile phones but those models are also obsolete now.

* Made some Hundred wishes before forwarding those Ganesh , Tirupathi Balaji email pics etc. Now most of those ‘Wishes’ are already married (to someone else)

NOW IMPORTANT NOTE :  If you do not send this e-mail to at least 11,246 people in the next 10 seconds, a bird will Pee on your head today at 6:30pm.

Nothing has happened till now……… ……… ….. but who knows. So please forward or share or book mark.
