A turkey was chatting with a bull.

'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'

'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. 'They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him enough strength to reach the first branch.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.

Finally, after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer who fired a bullet into his head.

Management Lesson

Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
