Málið leyst

Nú er aftur kominn kippur í umræðuna um póst sem er oft óvelkominn í lúgur landsmanna. Það virðist vera að lögin séu hliðholl fyrirtækjunum sem vilja auglýsa sig á þennan hátt. Ég fer ekki ofan af því að ég tel mig hafa rétt á að velja hvað kemur inn í mitt hús án þess að þurfa að eyða tíma og peningum í að farga því. En á hringsóli mínu á blogginu sá ég hugmynd sem ég kolféll fyrir. Taka póstkassann af húsinu, fá mér pósthólf og sækja minn póst þegar ég vil.

En að all öðru. Þetta finnst mér ofsalega fyndið.

Capitalism and Cows

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. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.

FRENCH CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You go on strike 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 clever cow cartoon images called Cowkimon(tm) and market them world-wide.

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.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION -- You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You break for 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 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.

A SWISS CORPORATION -- You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge others for storing them.

A HINDU CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You worship them.

A CHINESE CORPORATION -- You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity, and arrest the newsman who reported the numbers.

Dóra mín, ertu viss um að þú fáir ekki ruslpóst í hólfið?

Og kúasagan er afbragð.  Hvernig er íslenska útgáfan?
