Europe - Part 4

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.

Asia

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.
