A CEO throwing a party takes his executives on a tour of his opulent
mansion. In the back of the property, the CEO has the largest swimming pool
any of them has ever seen.
The huge pool, however, is filled with hungry alligators.
The CEO says to his executives "I think an executive should be
measured by courage. Courage is what made me CEO. So this is my challenge
to each of you: if anyone has enough courage to dive into the pool, swim
through those alligators, and make it to the other side, I will give that
person anything they desire. My job, my money, my house, anything!"
Everyone laughs at the outrageous offer and proceeds to follow the CEO on
the tour of the estate. Suddenly, they hear a loud splash. Everyone turns
around and sees the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in the pool, swimming for
his life. He dodges the alligators left and right and makes it to the edge
of the pool with seconds to spare. He pulls himself out just as a huge
alligator snaps at his shoes.
The flabbergasted CEO approaches the CFO and says, "You are amazing.
I've never seen anything like it in my life. You are brave beyond measure
and anything I own is yours. Tell me what I can do for you.
The CFO, panting for breath, looks up and says, "You can tell me who
the hell pushed me in the pool!"
