The manager of a large corporation had a heart attack, and the doctor told him to go to a farm for several weeks to relax. After a couple of days he was very bored, so he asked the farmer to give him something to do.

The farmer told him to clean the manure from the cows. The farmer thought that to somebody coming from the city, working his whole life sitting in an office, it would take him over a week to finish the job, but to his surprise the manager finished the job in less than a day.

The next day the farmer gave to the manager a more difficult job: to cut the heads off of 500 chickens. The farmer was sure that the manager would not be able to do the job, but at the end of the day the job was done.

The next morning, as most of the jobs in the farm were done, the farmer asked the manager to divide a bag of potatoes in two boxes: one box with small potatoes, and one box with big potatoes.

At the end of the day the farmer saw that the manager was sitting in front of the potatoes bag, but the two boxes were empty. The farmer asked the manager: "How is it that you so easily did such difficult jobs during the first two days, and now you cannot do this simple job?"

The manager answered: "Listen, all my life I'm cutting heads and dealing with manure, but now you ask me to make decisions."
