Subject: Business Proposal
>
>> Johnny wanted to have sex with a girl in his office but she belonged
To someone else. One day Johnny got so frustrated that he went up to her

>> and said, "I'll give you a $100 if you let me have sex with you." The
>> girl said, "NO!" Johnny said, "I'll be fast, I'll throw the money on
>> the floor, you
Bend down, and I'll be finished by the time you pick it up."
>> She thought for a moment and said that she would have to consult her
>> boyfriend. She called her boyfriend and told him the story.
>> The boyfriend said, "Ask him for $200, then pick up the money very
>> fast. He won't even be able to get his pants down."
>> She agreed and accepted the proposal.
>> Half an hour went by and the boyfriend was waiting for his girlfriend

>> to call. Finally after 45 minutes the boyfriend called and asked what

>> happened.
>> She said, "The bastard used quarters!"
>> sooooooooooooo Management lesson:
>> Always consider a business proposal in it's entirety before agreeing
To it and getting screwed!
