Prepare Three Envelopes

Prepare Three Envelopes
A fellow had just been hired as the new CEO of a large corporation.

The CEO who was stepping down met with him privately and presented him with three numbered envelopes.

“Open one of these each time you run into a problem you don’t think you can solve,” he said.

Things went along pretty smoothly, but six months later, sales took a downturn and he was really catching a lot of heat.

At his wit’s end, he remembered the envelopes. He went to his drawer and took out the first envelope. The message read,

“Blame your predecessor.”

The new CEO called a press conference and tactfully laid the blame at the feet of the previous CEO.

Satisfied with his comments, the press — and Wall Street – responded positively, sales began to pick up and the problem was soon behind him.

About a year later, the company was again experiencing a slight dip in sales, combined with serious product problems.

Having learned from his previous experience, the CEO quickly opened the second envelope.

The message read, “Reorganize.”

This he did, and the company quickly rebounded.

After several consecutive profitable quarters, the company once again fell on difficult times.

The CEO went to his office, closed the door and opened the third envelope.

The message said, “Prepare three envelopes.”

Funny Jokes – Birth control pills for granny

A doctor who had been seeing an 80-year-old woman for most of her life
finally retired. At her next checkup, the new doctor told her to bring
a list of all the medicines that had been prescribed for her. As the
young doctor looked through the list, his eyes grew wide as he realized
she had a prescription for birth control pills. “Mrs. Smith, do you
realize these are BIRTH CONTROL pills?!?”

“Yes, they help me sleep at night.”

“Mrs. Smith, I assure you there is absolutely NOTHING in these that
could possibly help you sleep!”

She reached out and patted the young Doctor’s knee. “Yes, dear, I know
that. But every morning, I grind one up and mix it in the glass of
orange juice that my 16-year-old granddaughter drinks… And believe
me, it helps me sleep at night!”
