Job Benefits


Theo Paphitis, an entrepreneur well known for turning failing companies into highly successful and profitable businesses, has a motto: 'There are three reasons to be in business. To make money, to have fun and to make money.' And here are some examples of the fun reason, funny business :)

Job Benefits
During a job interview, an applicant inquires about the benefits. The Personal Manager informs her they have group health and life insurance, but the costs are deducted from the employees' pay. The applicant says, "My last company had full health coverage, as well as five year's salary for life insurance and a month's sick leave AND they paid the full premiums."
"Then why would you leave a job with such benefits?" the interview asks back.
The applicant shrugs and says, "The company went bankrupt."

ha .. Ha .. ha .. :) :)

Forgetful


Theo Paphitis, an entrepreneur well known for turning failing companies into highly successful and profitable businesses, has a motto: 'There are three reasons to be in business. To make money, to have fun and to make money.' And here are some examples of the fun reason.

Forgetful
"George is so forgetful," the sales manager complains to his secretary. "It's a wonder he can sell and I'm not sure he'll even remember to come back."
Just then the door flies open, and in bounces George. 'You will never guess what happened!' he shouts. "While I was at lunch, I met Old Man Brown, who hasn't bought anything from us in five years. Well, we got to talking and he gave me this half-million dollar order!"
"See?" sighs the sales manager to his secretary."I told you he'd forget the sandwiches."

Business Trick

Business Trick
A grocer puts up a sign that reads "eggplants, 25 cent each - three for a dollar."
All day long, costumers come in exclaiming,"Don't be ridiculous! I should get four for a dollar!"
Every time, quietly the grocer concedes and packages four eggplants. The tailor next door has been watching these antics and finally asks the grocer, 'Aren't you going to fix the mistake on your sign?'
"What mistake?" the grocer asks.
'Before I put up that sign no one ever bought more than eggplant.'

Florist Mistake

Florist Mistake
On opening his new store, a man receives a bouquet of flowers. He becomes dismayed on reading the enclosed card because it expresses "Deepest Sympathy." While puzzling over the message, his telephone rings. It is the florist, apologizing for having sent the wrong card.
"Oh, it's alright," says the store owner.
"I'm a businessman and I understand these things can happen."
'But,' adds the florist, 'I accidentally sent your card to a funeral party.'
"Well, what did it say?" asks the store owner.
'Congratulations on your new location,' is the reply.
