Cows and Political Science!

Postby The Black Forrest » Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:38 am

Ok after all the divisive budget talk lately; i am going to offer some humor. It might have been already posted, it might be labeled copy pasta but I did laugh at a couple of the definitions. Enjoy.


DEMOCRAT

You have two cows.
Your neighbor has none.
You feel guilty for being successful.
You push for higher taxes so the government can provide cows for everyone.


REPUBLICAN

You have two cows.
Your neighbor has none.
So?


SOCIALIST

You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his cow.


COMMUNIST

You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.


CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE

You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.


BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE

You have two cows. Under the new farm program, the government pays you to shoot one, milk the other, and then pour the milk down the drain.


AMERICAN CORPORATION

You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one.
You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead.
You spin an announcement to the analysts stating you have downsized and are reducing expenses.
Your stock goes up.


FRENCH CORPORATION

You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch and drink wine.
Life is good


JAPANESE CORPORATION

You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.


GERMAN CORPORATION

You have two cows. You engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately, they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.


ITALIAN CORPORATION

You have two cows but you don't know where they are.
You break for lunch. Life is good.


RUSSIAN CORPORATION

You have two cows. You drink some vodka.
You count them and learn you have five cows.
You drink some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows.. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.


TALIBAN CORPORATION

You have all the cows in Afghanistan , which are two. You don't milk them because you cannot touch any creature's private parts. You get a $40 million grant from the US government to find alternatives to milk production but use the money to buy weapons.


IRAQI CORPORATION

You have two cows. They go into hiding.
They send radio tapes of their mooing.



POLISH CORPORATION

You have two bulls. Employees are regularly maimed and killed attempting to milk them.


BELGIAN CORPORATION

You have one cow. The cow is schizophrenic.
Sometimes the cow thinks he's French, other times he's Flemish. The Flemish cow won't share with the French cow. The French cow wants control of the Flemish cow's milk.
The cow asks permission to be cut in half. The cow dies happy.


FLORIDA CORPORATION

You have a black cow and a brown cow. Everyone votes for the best looking one. Some of the people who actually like the brown one best accidentally vote for the black one. Some people vote for both. Some people vote for neither. Some people can't figure out how to vote at all. Finally, a bunch of guys from out-of-state tell you which one you think is the best looking cow.


CALIFORNIA CORPORATION
You have millions of cows. They make real California cheese Only five speak English. Most are illegal.
Arnold likes the ones with the big udders.

The rest of us seek to repel these invaders, and push them back to the status quo ante bellum Black Friday border. -Trotskylvania
* Silence Is Golden But Duct Tape Is Silver.
* I felt like Ayn Rand cornered me at a party, and three minutes in I found my first objection to what she was saying, but she kept talking without interruption for ten more days. - Max Barry talking about Atlas Shrugged

LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

You painstakingly gain 2 cows after a century searching in the wilderness. You give one cow to the Tories, and the other deserts you.

we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression.

Banking Economy

You have 2 cows, so you create legal liabilities to a value of 200 cows,
you gimp people into signing them - at which point you create an electronic cheque-book cow in their farm account.

1 week later you demand all your cows are repaid.
you now have 172 cows and the legal rights to 30 farms.

you slaughter all the cows and sell the meat on the market - pay yourself a huge bonus for being so clever and embezzle large amounts through your pension fund - the rest you take to the casino - where you gamble, and win. you don't pay tax on your winnings because you keep your profit off shore -

you gamble again - this time you lose.
you go to the government who decide that if there is no-one to lend cows to farmers there will be no milk.
so they give you more money to buy another 200 cows...

you buy 2 cows and embezzle the rest (repeat)

They can not live without him (seriously, they wrote a song about him, and according to them, they really can't). He was also born under a double rainbow.

You beat up and abuse your cow. Your neighbour comes to take it away from you because you apparently can't treat it humanely.
