Corporate Lesson № 1 A man enters the shower while his wife just finishing up her when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps a towel around herself and ran to open. There stands Bob - the neighbor. Before she says a word, he offers: - I'll give you $ 800 if you drop that towel! After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. Seconds later, he hands her $ 800 and leaves. The woman wraps back and goes back inside. - Who was that? - asks her husband - Bob – the neighbor! - she answered. - Great! - said the man - did he say anything about the $ 800 he owes me?

Corporate Lesson № 2 Priest offered a nun drive to the monastery. She agreed and they left. At one point she crossed legs, so that one is bared. The father hardly avoids an accident. After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. - Father, remember Psalm 129! – the nun said. The priest removed his hand, but a little later, changing gears, however, put his hand on her leg again. - Father, remember Psalm 129! – the nun said again. - Forgive my carnal weakness, sister! - apologized the Father. Arriving at the convent, the nun went on and the priest rushed to the church to look up Psalm 129. It said: "Go forth and seek, further up you will find glory".
