Frog Jumping

"Frog Jumping"

A group of junior-level executives were
participating in a management training program.
The seminar leader pounded home his point
about the need to make decisions and take
action on these decisions.

"For instance," he said, "if you had five frogs
on a log and three of them decided to jump,
how many frog would you have left on the log?"

The answers from the group were unanimous: "Two."

"Wrong," replied the speaker, "there would still
be five because there is a difference between
deciding to jump and actually jumping."

"Bad Day"

Discovering that I'd overslept, I abandoned my
usual morning routine and rushed out. In the
van, though, I realized I had time to stop for
a take-out coffee.

I got my coffee and returned to the van, only
to find I had not only left it running but had locked it!

The day was going from bad to worse.

I returned to the shop, sheepishly explained
my situation to the clerk and asked if I could
borrow a broom.

I managed to open a side window and pop
the lock on the back door using the broom
handle. When I returned the broom, the clerk
said, "I know you're having a bad day, but..."

"I know, I know," I interrupted. "You want to
know how I can unlock my van with a broom."

"No," she said. "I wanted to tell you that your
shirt is on inside out."
