Four major executives from various countries are playing golf together
on the second tee when they hear a phone ring. The Canadian executive
reaches into his bag and pulls out a cellular phone. "OK buy 1000
Microsoft shares" the Canadian tells the other person on the phone,
then hangs up. He then says to the others, "I'm such an important
person that I have to make sure my employees can reach me at any time.
Therefore I carry a cell phone everywhere."
On the next tee, they hear another phone. All of a sudden the American
puts his finger to his mouth and his thumb to his ear and begins
talking. When he gets off the line he tells the others "I'm so important
that I had my company install a microphone in my index finger and a
speaker in my thumb. That way, I don't have to worry about carrying a
cellular telephone." The people are impressed and move on.
On the green, they hear another phone ring. The German guy stands up
tall and says "OK sell the company now." He loosens up and tells the
others "I'm so important that I had my company put a microphone in my
lip and a speaker in my ear. That way all I need to do is stand up
straight to get the signal." Everybody is really impressed and they
continue playing.
As the next tee they hear another phone ring. All of a sudden the
Japanese executive runs into the bushes. After a few minutes, the
others get worried about him so they go into the bushes. The Japanese
guy is in the bushes with his pants around his legs and squatting as
if to take a dump.
"Oh, we're sorry" the American executive exclaims, "we'll leave you
alone."
"That's OK," the Japanese executive says "I'm just waiting for a fax."
