Economic Models explained with Cows
SOCIALISM - You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbour.
COMMUNISM - You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk.
FASCISM - You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk.
NAZISM -You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you.
BUREAUCRATISM - You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away.
TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM - You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.
SURREALISM - You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION - You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyse why the cow has dropped dead.
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 four cows back, with a tax exemption for five 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. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States, leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull.
THE ARTHUR ANDERSEN MODEL - You have two cows. You shred them. A
FRENCH CORPORATION - You have two cows. You go on strike, organise a riot and block the roads, because you want 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 a clever cow cartoon image called 'Cowkimon' and market it 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.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION - You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION - You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 2 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka
A SWISS CORPORATION - You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATION - You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION - You have two cows. You worship them.
A BRITISH CORPORATION - You have two cows. Both are mad so you sell them to other countries
AN IRAQI CORPORATION - Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the **** out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy
A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION - You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.
AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION - You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

I like Surrealism, I always wanted a Giraffe, I can skip the harmonica lessons.

Google Street View is cool, there are a few set ups like that across it.
And it let me to this:
Apparently most of the displays just have the keyboard inside, so you open it up and type away.

Wow that really is a widely used chord combination. Now we all know how to write commercially successful songs!
Ha, that's brilliant. Clever advertising for themselves, just wish they'd put something stupid like The Wiggles in there.
