My wife got this from one of her Romanian friends. I just thought it was funny since it makes fun of everyone. Hope it doesn't offend anyone (sorry if it does!):


Traditional Capitalism
You have 2 cows and buy a bull. Your heard grows and is very productive.
You sell the heard and retire with the profit you made.

American company
You have 2 cows. You sell one and force the other one to produce as much milk as 4 cows. You are surprised when the cow dies.

French company
You have 2 cows. You go on a strike because you want to have 3 cows.

Japanese company
You have 2 cows. You redesign them to be 10 times smaller than a normal cow and to produce 20 times more milk. Then you create intelligent animation images with the cows, called Cowkemon and promote them all over the world

German company
You have 2 cows. You redesign them to live a 100 years, to eat 1 time per day and milk themselves.

British company
You have 2 cows. Both are crazy.

Italian company
You have 2 cows but you don't know where they are.
You go ahead and take a lunch break anyway.

Russian company
You have 2 cows.
You count them and you find out that there are actually 5 cows.
You count them again and you find out that there are 42 cows.
You count them again and you find out that there are 12 cows.
You stop counting and open another vodka bottle.

Swiss company
You have 1000 cows but you own none of them.
You charge the owners storage expenses.

Indian company
You have 2 cows.
You pray to them.

Chinese company
You have 2 cows and 300 people to milk them.
You declare 0% unemployment rate, high productivity and arrest the reporter who published the statistics.

Romanian company
You have no cows but you get 2 cows on a contract with the state and build a villa with EU funds that is declared a cow house (stable). You cancel the contract by declaring a disaster region. You start all over again. The others are looking amazed at your new villa.
 
An addendum I heard a while back.

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. - No Balance Sheet provided with the release.
 
Finnish company
You have 2 cows. When you notice that the workers don't milk the cows, you start to shout "perkele" and run after the workers with an axe.

Swedish company
You have 2 bulls and you notice that they are both gay, start to film them and sell it off to the world as the latest innovative trend in animal porn.

Norwegian company
You have 2 trouts that listen to black metal and burn churches.
