Upper Management Training

An man walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and a bucket of manure in the other.  He says to the waiter, "I would like a cup of coffee."  The waiter says, "Sure thing, coming right up."  He gets the man a tall mug of coffee, and the man drinks it down in one gulp, picks up the bucket of manure, throws it into the air, blasts it with the shotgun, then just walks out.

The next morning the man returns.  He has his shotgun in one hand and a bucket of manure in the other. He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter, "I would like a cup of coffee."

The waiter says, "Whoa, Mister.  We’re still cleaning up your mess from the last time you were here. What the heck was all that about, anyway?"

The man smiles and proudly says, "I’m training for an upper management position: Come in, drink coffee, shoot the shit, leave a mess for others to clean up, then disappear for the rest of day."
