NEW HIRING PROCEDURES....
You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading. This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.
The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants)had no trouble coming up with his answer. He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital.. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
This is Rex Barker, C. S. (Canine Strategist) reminding you that often, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

More Advertising Lingo
Here’s some more help at understanding advertising lingo.
"A number of different approaches are being tried."
Translation (We are still grasping at straws.)
"Customer satisfaction upon delivery is assured."
Translation (We are so far behind schedule the customer should be happy just to get it delivered.)
"Test results were extremely gratifying."
Translation (We were so surprised that the stupid thing worked.)
"The entire concept will have to be abandoned."
Translation (The only person who understood the thing quit.)
"We'll look into it."
Translation (Forget it! We have enough problems for now.)
"Please read and initial."
Translation (Let's spread the responsibility around for the mistakes.)
"Rugged."
Translation (Too heavy to lift!)
"Lightweight."
Translation (Lighter than rugged.)
"Energy saving."
Translation (When the power switch is off.)
Take care Y'all... and remember the Box is not as big around it might seem - just peek around the corner sometime. Ya just never know what ya might find there. :D
