Good link. My favorite:
4 Do as I say, not as I...hey, get a load of those!
After joining the Bank of Ireland as CEO, Michael Soden issues a dictate: No porn surfing on the job. His next dictate: The IT department is to be outsourced to Hewlett-Packard. Shortly after the outsourcing deal goes through, IT staffers, now employed by HP, discover porn on Soden's computer. Soden resigns, leaving the bank and HP scrapping over who should pay his severance, estimated at $5 million.
Priceless. :p

Fun website I'm Adding it to my favorites.
The fun part about being a Big Corporation is bullying banks.
If your a small timer borrowing one million and can't pay it back.. your in trouble.
If your a Big Corporation borrowing hundreds of millions and can't pay it back, the bank is in trouble. :D

"Microsoft has had competitors in the past. It's a good thing we have museums to document this stuff."—Bill Gates
I like that quote. Some of Microsoft's competitors... remind me of some of Capitalism's competitors, such as Communism...
