| Lesson 1: A superviser, an engineer, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique (valued for its age) oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie (alavudeen lamp) comes out. The Genie says, “I”ll give each of you just one wish.” “Me first! Me first!” says the engineer. “I want to be in the Andaman and nicobar island in india, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.” Puff! She”s gone. “Me next! Me next!” says the superviser. “I want to be in elangakurichy mountanious area, relaxing on down of coconut trees with my childrens and wife, an endless supply of ilanir (coconut water) and the love of my life.” Puff! He”s gone. “OK, you”re up,” the Genie says to the manager. The manager smiles and say, “I want those two back in the office after the lunch-time.” Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. |

| Lesson 2: An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him,”Can I also sit like you and do nothing?” The eagle answered: “Sure, why not.” So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it. Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up. |
| Lesson 3: A Large bird was chatting with a Bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree” sighed the Large bird, “but I haven”t got the energy.” “Well, why don”t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the Bull. They”re packed with nutrients.” The Large bird pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave her enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, she reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the Large bird was proudly perched at the top of the tree.. She was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot her out of the tree. Moral of the story: Bull Shit might get you to the top, but it won”t help you stay there for long. |
| Lesson 4: A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and she fell to the ground into a large field. While she was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on her. As the frozen bird laid there in the pile of cow dung, she began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing her out! She lays there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat hears the bird singing and comes to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug her out and ate her. Morals of the story: [1] Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. [2] Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend. [3] And when you”re in deep shit, keep your mouth shut! |
