Justice, Dom, Random Notes....

Jeff Justice and his graduates were tearing it up last night. It really is a fun night for everyone involved. The comedians get a tremendous amount of support and the audience members get to see someone they know up there telling jokes.

Dom starts on Friday night and we are really looking forward to it. He is such a class act and wickedly funny to boot.

You should visit with us if you've never seen Dom live before.

I want to say thank you to the folks over at the AJC who had me out to speak to their group today about the challenges small business owners have in dealing with customer relationships. I also got to tell a few jokes which was nice.

Voodoo Enronomics

Feudalism: You have two cows. Your lord takes some of the milk.
Fascism: You have two cows. The government takes both, hires you to take care of them and sells you the milk.

Communism: You have two cows. You must take care of them, but the government takes all the milk.

Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income.

Enron Capitalism: You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred through an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The Enron annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more.
