NASA Mars Mission

NASA was interviewing professionals they were planning on sending to Mars. The touchy part was that only one guy could go and it would be a one way trip, the guy would never return to Earth.The interviewer asked the first applicant, an engineer, how much he wanted to be paid for going.”One million dollars,” the engineer answered. “And I want to donate it all to my alma mater — Rice University.”The next applicant was a doctor, and the interviewer asked him the same question.”Two millions dollars,” the doctor said. “I want to give a million to my family and leave the other million for the advancement of medical research.”The last applicant was a lawyer. When asked how much money he wanted, he whispered in the interviewer’s ear, “Three million dollars.””Why so much more than the others?” the interviewer asked.The lawyer replied, “You give me three million, I’ll give you one million, I’ll keep a million, and we’ll send the engineer.”

Like a Bull!

A man and his wife were on a train passing through farm country. As the train slowed down they saw a bull mounting one cow after another. The wife turned to her husband and remonstrated.”Why aren’t you men capable of doing things that way?””My dear,” he answered, “we can if you let us change cows each time!”

Why did the chicken cross the road?…

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Deregulation of the chicken’s side of the road was threatening its
dominant market position. The chicken was faced with significant
challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly
competitive market. Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship
with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical
distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry
Integration Model (PIM) Andersen helped the chicken use its skills,
methodologies, knowledge capital and experiences to align the chicken’s
people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy
within a Program Management framework. Andersen Consulting convened a
diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with
Andersen consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to
engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their
personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them
to synergize with each other in order to achievethe implicit goals of
delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an
enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry
cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park like setting
enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically
based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified
market message and aligned with the chicken’s mission, vision, and core
values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business
integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to
become more successful.

I hope that this will finally answer the question and end all the
controversy surrounding it once and for all.
