PROSTITUTE OR CONSULTANT?


You work very odd hours. 

You are paid a lot of money to keep your client happy.

You are paid well but your pimp gets most of the money. 

You spend a majority of your time in a hotel room. 

You charge by the hour but your time can be extended for the right price. 

You are not proud of what you do. 

Creating fantasies for your clients is rewarded. 

It's difficult to have a family. 

You have no job satisfaction. 

If a client beats you up, the pimp just sends you to another client. 

You are embarrassed to tell people what you do for a living.

· People ask you what you do and you can't explain it. 


Your family hardly recognizes you at reunions (at least the reunions you
attend). 


Your friends have distanced themselves from you and you're left hanging with
only other professionals. 


Your client pays for your hotel room plus your hourly rate. 

Your client always wants to know how much you charge and what they get for themoney. 

Your pimp drives nice cars like Mercedes or BMWs. 

Your pimp encourages drinking and you become addicted to drugs to ease the
pain of it all. 


You know the pimp is charging more than you are worth but if the client is
foolish enough to pay it's not your problem. 


When you leave to go see a client, you look great, but return looking like  hell (compare your appearance on Monday A.M. to Friday P.M.). 

You are rated on your performance in an excruciating ordeal. 

Even though you get paid the big bucks, it's the client who walks away smiling. 

The client always thinks your cut of your billing rate is higher than it actually is, and in turn, expects miracles from you. 

When you deduct your take from your billing rate, you constantly wonder if you
could get a better deal with another pimp. 


Everyday you wake up and tell yourself you're not going to be doing this stuff
for the rest of your life.

 

Are You Ready For The Working World?Are You Ready


This quiz consists of four questions that tell you whether or not you are
qualified to be a professional. 


There is no need to cheat. The questions are not that difficult. You just
need to think like a professional.


1.How do you put a giraffe into a refrigerator?


2.How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?


3.The Lion King is hosting an animal conference. All the animals attend except
one. Which animal does not attend?


4.There is a river filled with crocodiles. How do you cross it?


SCROLL DOWN FOR THE ANSWERS. 


Answers

1.Open the refrigerator put in the giraffe and closes the door. This question
tests whether or not you are doing simple things in a complicated way.


2.Open the refrigerator remove the giraffe and put in the elephant and close
the door. This question tests your foresight.


3.The elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator! This tests if you are capable of comprehensive thinking. Okay, if you did not answer the last three questions correctly, this one may be your last chance to test your qualifications to be a professional.


4.Simply swim through it. All the crocodiles are attending the animal meeting!
This question tests your reasoning ability. If you answered four out of four questions correctly, you are a trueprofessional.  Wealth and success await you. If you answered three out of fouryou have some catching up to do but there's hope for you. If you answered twoout of four, consider a career as a hamburger flipper in a fast food joint. If you answered one out of four, try selling some of your organs. It's the only way you will ever make any money. If you answered none correctly, consider a careerthat does not require any higher mental functions at all, such as law or politics.

 

Advertising Campaigns Gone Bad


1. The Dairy Association's huge success with the campaign "Got Milk?" promptedthem to expand advertising to Mexico. It was soon brought to their attention theSpanish translation read "Are you lactating?"

2. Coors put its slogan, "Turn it loose," into Spanish, where it was read as
"Suffer from diarrhea".


3. Scandinavian vacuum manufacturer Electrolux used the following in an
American campaign: "Nothing sucks like an Electrolux".


4. Clairol introduced the "Mist Stick", a curling iron, into German only to
find out that "mist" is slang for manure. Not too many people had use for the
manure stick".


5. When Gerber started selling baby food in Africa, they used the same packaging as in the US, with the smiling baby on the label. Later they learned
that in
Africa, companies routinely put pictures on the label of what's inside,
since many people can't read.


6. Colgate introduced a toothpaste in France called Cue, the name of a
notorious porno magazine.


7. An American T-shirt maker in Miami printed shirts for the Spanish market
which promoted the Pope's visit. Instead of "I saw the Pope" (el Papa), the
shirts read "I saw the potato" (la papa).


10. Frank Perdue's chicken slogan, "it takes a strong man to make a tender
chicken" was translated into Spanish as "it takes an aroused man to make a
chicken affectionate".


11. When Parker Pen marketed a ball-point pen in Mexico, its ads were supposedto have read, "it won't leak in your pocket and embarrass you". Instead, thecompany thought that the word "embarazar" (to impregnate) meant to embarrass, so the ad read: "It won't leak in your pocket and make you pregnant".
