Third: How to understand politics by using 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.

 BUREAUCRACY: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws
 the milk away...

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

 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 analyse why the cow has dropped dead.

 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.

 CHINESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you
 have full employment, and high bovine productivity, and execute the newsman who reported the real
 situation.

 AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.

 IRAQI CORPORATION: Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have one. No-one
 believes you, so they bomb you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least now you are
 part of a Democracy....

 WELSH 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

 A BRITISH CORPORATION: You have two cows. The Government says you have to buy a licence to milk
 them, but first you have to do a risk assessment, which only the government Quango is allowed to carry
 out. They charge you 5 times the cost of doing it. They find that the three legged stool is a risk under
 health and safety. You have to buy the EC approved 5 legged stool that is designed to support a milk
 maid of up to 250 kilos. It is too heavy to carry. The stool exceeds EC weight lifting limits for workers by 4
 kilos, which just happens to be the weight of the fifth leg. To shift the stool from one cow to the other you
 therefore need a special (EC approved) trolley. The new stool and trolley are so expensive that you have
 to mortgage one of the cows to pay for them and pay for the mandatory training course you must take to
 get your licence to milk the cows. You sell your milk to the supermarket chain that pays you next to nothing
 for it, and then they sell it to their customers for four times what they paid you. Then they release a press
 statement about how wonderful they are to support British Cows. The rest of the world thinks your cows
 are mad but you and your cows know that it is not true and Anyway the rest of the world, have no intention
 of identifying and counting their mad cows so people in other countries don't know their cows are really,
 really barmy do they. You sell your cows to a Polish Migrant worker and your farm to a Russian
 'investment bank' and
 then you leave to buy a villa by the sea in a country where it is sunny and
 the cost of milk is a tenth the cost of milk at home. They don't have a
 National Health Service.......but you are so happy and relaxed your health
 improves and you live to be a hundred.
