Lighter lessons in leadership.
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing hers when the doorbell rings. She quickly raps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor.
Before she opens her mouth, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that towel." A moment later, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.
When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks who was at the door. She tells him it was Bob from next door. "Great!" the husband says. "Did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story: If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your stakeholders in time, you may be able to prevent avoidable exposure.
A priest offered a lift to a nun. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest removed his hand.
But soon he let his hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again said, "Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest apologized, "Sorry, sister, but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way. On arriving at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory."
