Tale from Harvard Business Review

A Red Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and a bucketof buffalo manure in the other.
He says to the waiter, "Me want coffee."

The waiter says, "Sure chief, comin right up."

The next morning the Indian returns. He has his shotgun in one hand anda bucket of buffalo manure in the other. He walks up to thecounter andsays to the waiter, "Me want coffee."
The waiter says, "Whoa, Tonto! We're still cleaning up your mess fromyesterday. What the heck was all that about, anyway?"

The Indian smiles and proudly says, "Me training for uppermanagementposition:
