Graham Paxton was a very successful businessman who, in the 25 years that he built his business empire, had developed it to make it worth billions. Unfortunately that was at the cost of his wife who hated the long hours that he worked and she left him when their only child, a girl, Siobhan was 12.
Graham sent Siobhan to a private boarding school and when she left the school she went and worked for him and after another 5 years she became her father's assistant. It didn't bother Siobhan that the office gossip had her as a snooty, bossy, stuck-up, heartless, prudish bitch.
At the age of 50 Graham decided that it was time for him to retire but he kept his plans quiet until the night of the company's summer ball. After the meal and after one hours dancing Graham called for silence for what everyone thought was to be the annual pep talk but it was anything but that.
As usual he was stood half way up the very wide staircase where there is an open area that is bigger than most people's lounge. Stood next to Graham, as usual, was his daughter Siobhan in her expensive, designer gown, and also as usual there were quite a few people stood on the balcony that extended round the main hall and had doors going off it to all the bedrooms and bathrooms.
What was unusual was that there was a huge table behind them.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Graham started, "this will not be the usual speech, tonight I am announcing my retirement."
Graham paused there to let everyone absorb what he had just said.
"What is going to happen to the business I hear you ask? Well, in my hand I have 2 envelopes, one is an offer from a conglomerate who want to eliminate their opposition closing down my hard earned company, and the other envelope contains my desired option for who is going to take over from me as CEO. I am now going to ask Siobhan to read it out loud."
Graham passed the envelope to Siobhan who opened it and scanned down the first page. Printed in big, bold letters at the top of the page were: -
DO NOT TURN THIS PAGE UNTIL YOU HAVE READ OUT LOUD EVERY WORD ON THIS PAGE.
When Siobhan silently got to the bottom of the page, with shock on her face, she said,
"Daddy, you can't be serious? What person would agree to this?"
"Read it out loud Siobhan."
She did.
"I Graham Paxton herewith gift all of my business empire in 10 years time to the person to be know as 'X' until Siobhan reads out loud the name on the last page of this document. PROVIDED that 'X' conforms to all the requirements listed below. I will attend Board Meetings during those 10 years and will have a casting vote on all issues.
The requirement of 'X' for the gift to be confirmed in 10 years time are: -
1. That he or she strips naked within 5 minutes of when Siobhan reads the name on the last page of this document.
2. That he or she lives naked in any house that they own or lives in.
