1 Read what humorists say about the corporations.

Corporations around the world.

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.

A Japanese corporation.

You have two cows. You re-design 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 and market them 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.

You have two cows. Both are mad.

An Indian corporation.

You have two cows. You pray to them for food.
