I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff. and he was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff. And he was also gone. The boss calmly said, "I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm."

Lesson 5
The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was In charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up: Brain - I should be in charge because I run all body functions.

Blood - I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain. Stomach - I should be in charge because I process food to the brain. Legs - I should be in charge because I take the brain where it Wants to go. Eyes - I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it's going.

Asshole - I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste. All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad. To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and Stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.

Day 1 - Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief

Day 2 - Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly

Day 3 - Legs got cramps and became unstable

Day 4 - Eyes became watery and vision became blurred

Day 5 - Blood became toxic and poisoned the body

Day 6 -The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in charge.

Moral of the story is - No matter who you are or how important you think you are, you will find that it is always the asshole that is in charge.
