Quotations on incorporation & corporations

It is impossible to imagine the universe run by a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a board of gods. If such a board actually exists it operates precisely like the board of a corporation that is losing money.
Henry Louis Mencken

At best, most college presidents are running something that is somewhere between a faltering corporation and a hotel.
Leon Botstein

 
 

Jokes on corporations

A Guide to Corporations

Traditional Capitalism.
You have two cows. One you sell and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

Enron Venture Capitalism.
You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all your four cows back, with a tax exemption for 5 cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. The public buys your bull.

An American Corporation.

You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

A French Corporation.
You have two cows. You go on strike because you wanted three cows.

A 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. You then create clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon and market them worldwide.

A German Corporation.
You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves.

A British Corporation.
You have two cows. Both are mad.
