The Pool Bash...

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 have ever seen.  The huge pool, however, is filled with hungry sharks…he he he…

The CEO tells 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 past those sharks and make it to the other side, I will give that person anything he/she desires.  My job, my money, my house, anything”. 

Everyone laughs at the outrageous offer and proceeds to follow the CEO on the tour of his estate.  Suddenly they hear a loud splash.  Everyone turns around and sees the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in the pool, juggling for his life.  He dodges the sharks left and right and makes it to the edge of the pool with seconds to spare.  He pulls himself out just as a huge shark snaps at his shoes…

The flabbergasted CEO approaches the CFO and says, “You are amazing! I’ve never seen anything like it in my entire 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, “Yeah! I want to know, who the hell pushed me into the pool?”
