The chicken was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Anderson Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Anderson helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital, and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes, and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. Anderson Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tactic and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the continuum of poultry cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values. This was conductive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. Anderson Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful."

About a week later, Julie came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote:
Dear Mother,
I'm not saying you did take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you did not take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner.
Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which read:
Dear Son,
I'm not saying that you do sleep with Julie, and I'm not saying that you do not sleep with Julie. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now.
Love,

Patti explains that $30,000 is a substantial amount of money and that he will need to secure some collateral against the loan. She asks if he has anything he can use as collateral. The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about half an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patti explains that she'll have to consult with the manager and disappears into a back office. She finds the manager and says: "There's a frog named Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000---and he wants to use this as collateral." She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what the heck is this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says: "It's a knick-knack, Patti Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

A blonde decides to try horseback riding, even though she has no lessons or prior experience. She mounts the horse unassisted and it immediately springs into motion. The horse gallops along at a steady and rhythmic pace, but the blonde begins to slip from the saddle. In terror, she grabs the horse's mane but cannot seem to get a firm grip. She tries to throw her arms around the horse's neck, but she slides down the side of the horse anyway. The equine gallops along, seemingly impervious to its slipping rider.
Two men are sitting, drinking at a bar at the top of the Empire State Building, when one turns to the other and says: "You know, last week I discovered if you jump from the top of this building, by the time you fall to the 10th floor, the winds are so intense, they carry you around the building and back onto the roof." The bartender shakes his head in disapproval while wiping the counter. 2nd Man: "What are you--a nut? There's no way in hell that could happen." 1st Man: "No it's true. Let me prove it to you." So he gets up from the bar, walks to the balcony, jumps over and starts to plummet toward the ground. As he passes the 10th floor, the high wind whips him around the building and back up onto the rooftop bar. He calmly walks back over to the bar. The 2nd Man tells him: "You know I saw that with my own eyes, but it must have been a one-time fluke." 1st Man: "No, a bunch of us were doing it yesterday. Look, I'll prove it again." And again he jumps over and hurls toward the street, and again at the 10th floor the wind gently carries him around the building and up onto the roof. Once again he urges his fellow drinker to try it. 2nd Man: "Well, what the hell; it works, so I'll try it." He jumps off the balcony, plunges downward, passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors, and hits the sidewalk with a splat. Back upstairs the bartender turns to the other drinker and says: "You know, Superman, you're a real asshole when you're drunk."

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful John's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between John and his roommate and this only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Julie and I are just roommates."
