BALLS

INTERESTING OBSERVATION




1. The sport of choice for the urban poor is BASKETBALL.


2. The sport of choice for maintenance level employees is BOWLING.


3. The sport of choice for front-line workers is FOOTBALL.


4. The sport of choice for supervisors is BASEBALL.


5. The sport of choice for middle management is TENNIS.


And...


6. The sport of choice for corporate executives and officers is GOLF.


The amazing facts are,

The higher you go in the corporate structure, the smaller your balls become.[



There must be a boat load of people in Washington playing marbles.


You know you WILL PASS THIS ONE ON!

2. THIS IS EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE TODAY!

A cowboy named Bud was overseeing his herd in a remote mountainous
pasture in Montana when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of
a cloud of dust. The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes,
RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the cowboy,
"If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will
you give me a calf?"

Bud looks at the man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his
peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?"

The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer,
connects it to his Apple i phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet,
where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which
he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an
ultra-high-resolution photo.

The young man then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and
exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany ...

Within seconds, he receives an email on his Apple ipad® that the
image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL®
database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his
Galaxy S5® and, after a few minutes, receives a response.

Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his
hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to the cowboy and says,
"You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."

"That's right. Well, I guess you can take one of my calves," says
Bud.

He watches the young man select one of the animals and looks on
with amusement as the young man stuffs it into the trunk of his car.

Then Bud says to the young man, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly
what your business is, will you give me back my calf?"

The young man thinks about it for a second and then says, "Okay,
why not?"

"You're a Congressman in the U.S. Government", says Bud.

"Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, “but how did you guess
that?"

"No guessing required." answered the cowboy. "You showed up here
even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already
knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of
equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't
know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for
that matter. This is a herd of sheep.”

“Now give me back my dog.”


AND THAT, FOLKS, IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ALL ABOUT.


Two from my e-mail buddy!
