Five cannibals from Papua New Guinea are listed in one company as Programmer hired.
When greeting the cannibals, the boss says to them:
′′ You can now work here, earn good money and go to the Going to eat in our canteen. So leave the other staff in peace."
The cannibals vowed high and holy no colleagues to harassing. After four weeks the boss comes back to them and says: ′′ You work very well. However, we are missing a cleaning lady, Do you know what happened to this one?"
The cannibals all answer ′′ no ′′ and swear with the thing to have nothing to do. When the boss is gone ask the upper cannibal the rest of the squad:
′′ Which one of you ate the cleaning lady?"
In the back, the last one is very small:
′′ It was me..."
Says the upper cannibal:
′′ You idiот, we've been feeding on group leaders for four weeks, Department managers, department managers, project managers and Controllers so nobody will notice and you have to sucker eating the cleaning lady!"
It was October and the Native Americans on a remote reservation...
Asked their new Chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild.
Since he was a Chief in a modern society he had never been taught he old secrets.
When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what the winter was going to be like.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side he told his tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect firewood to be prepared.
But being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked,
"Is the coming winter going to be cold?"
"It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold," the meteorologist at the weather service responded.
So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.
A week later he called the National Weather Service again. "Does it still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes," the man at National Weather Service again replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of firewood they could find.
Two weeks later the Chief called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?"
"Absolutely," the man replied. "It's looking more and more like it is going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
"How can you be so sure?" the Chief asked.
The weatherman replied, "We're sure it's going to be cold because the Native Americans are collecting firewood like crazy!"
