Economic Models explained with cows...

SOCIALISM:
You have 2 cows, and 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.

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 analyze why the cow has dropped dead.

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, and 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. You feed one to the other and the remaining one goes mad.

IRAQI CORPORATION:
Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the hell out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are part of a Democracy...

SURREALISM:
You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons

HONG KONG CAPITALISM:
You have two cows. The annual report says that the company owns 8 cows, with an option on one more. You kill the 2 cows because the feng shui is bad.

NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION:
You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.

AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION:
You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate.

家里通网了。

写一篇blog庆祝一下。

通网，同时还有35个频道的TV

给了一个小盒子，可以连电视和网

功能强大！！

于是需要搞一个电视

去原来的宿舍，买了一个二手电视。

死沉死沉的。

顺便在师妹处蹭饭。

一个人扛回来，胳膊要断了。

上火车的时候，有个人说，好旧的model.

我说，二手，暂时用用。

之后突然意识到

好像是很旧的model

好像不能接装电视的个盒子

于是心性大为沮丧

死撑着扛回来

仍在地毯上一看

果然

完全没有插口，只能看最基本的六个台

我简直是猪脑子

靠

就当锻炼了

沮丧的一个人

坐在地毯上

电脑放在茶几上

电视扔在地上

突然有些寂寞了
