Things that make me smile #9 – Ethics

With all the corporate scandals coming into light, ethics is now taken a front row seat ( that’s what we hope, right?) Here is something that came in the mail. Hopefully this will make you smile too.


A father is explaining ethics to his son, who is about to go into business. “Suppose a woman comes in and orders a hundred dollars worth of material. You wrap it up, and you give it to her.
