The Best Banker
>> One day, three bankers, a Citibanker, one from HSBC and another from
>> Maybank, went for a walk. They were old buddies from
>> school, and they
>> were remembering the tough old days they went as students
>> together.
>>
>> For no apparent reason, they went into a zoo and passed an elephant.
>>
>> Being from the same field and the same school, there is little bit of
>> peer competition going on, so when he saw this elephant, an
>> idea
>> clicked the Citibanker, he said to the others "Why don't we
>> prove who
>> is the best among us?".
>>
>> The others, of course, agreed.
>>
>> Then the Citibank said "Let's make a test. Whoever can make this
>> elephant laugh, he works for the best Bank".
>>
>> They all agreed and started.
>>
>> Being a pure logical strategist, the Citibanker tried to make the
>> elephant laugh by telling jokes (In this story, the
>> elephant do
>> understand the language, boleh la). Of course it stayed
>> still.
>>
>> As a more practical guy, the HSBC guy tried to make funny
>> gestures...and the elephant still stood firm.
>>
>> Now, it?s the Maybanker turn. Being the tomorrow -can- do- it guy, he
>> whispered something to the elephant, and it laughed at him
>> while
>> pointing its trunk at him. The other two were astonished.
>>
>> How come this Maybanker beat them?
>>
>> So the HSBC guy said "OK, let's make another test. Let's make this
>> elephant cry".
>>
>> So there they went again.
>>
>> The Citibanker told sad stories,
>>
>> The HSBC guy made sad gestures,
>>
>> and they fail again.
>>
>> Then, the Maybanker whispered something again in the elephant's ear
>> and it just cried, weeping and patting away.
>>
>> This can't be, thought the other two.
>>
>> So the Citibanker said "OK, you've won twice. If you can
>> win this
>> test, we will bow to you. Let's make this elephant run".
>>
>> He went and barked to the elephant orders to run. Of
>> course, it stayed still.
>>
>> The HSBC guy pushes the elephant and stabs it with stake to make it
>> run, it stayed still.
>>
>> So...our Maybanker comes to it and whispers something again in its
>> ear and the elephant ran and ran as fast as it could, as if it
>> was scared
>> to death.
>>
>> The other two surrendered.
>>
>> "OK, you're the best, pal. You work for a very good Bank; not even
>> our global bankers can beat you. Do tell us your secret".
>>
>> "Well" said the Maybanker
>>
>> "The first time I made it laugh, I said "Maybank is the
>> best bank ".
>>
>> "When I made it cry, I told the elephant how much I get paid".
>>
>> "And when I made it run scared to death, I said to it,
>>
>> "Why don't you join Maybank?"
>> Maybank, went for a walk. They were old buddies from
