I Went To A Party, Mom
I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink,
Mom So I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming,
Mom Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.
My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.
I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.
So why do people do it,
Mom Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be afraid,
Mom Tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put Daddy's Girl on my grave.
Someone should have taught him,
That its wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter,
Mom I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say I love you,
Mom So I love you and good-bye.
And remembered what you said.

I am thankful...
For the husband who complains when his dinner is not on time...because he is home with me, not with someone else.
For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes... because that means she is at home & not on the streets.
For the taxes that I pay...because it means that I am employed.
For the mess to clean after a party...because it means that I have been surrounded by friends.
For the clothes that fit a little too snug...because it means I have enough to eat.
For my shadow that watches me work...because it means I am out in the sunshine.
For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutters that need fixing... because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the Government...because it means that we have freedom of speech.
For the parking spot I find at the far end of the Parking lot...because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.
For my huge heating bill...because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in church that sings off key...because it means that I can hear.
For the pile of laundry and ironing...because it means I have clothes to wear.
For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day...because it means I have been capable of working hard.
For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours...because it means that I am alive.
And finally...for too much e-mail...because it means I have friends who are thinking of me.

A little boy goes to the kitchen in the evening while her mother was fixing supper. He handed her a piece of paper he'd been writing on. So, after wiping her hands with her apron, she read it, and this is what it said:
For mowing the grass : $5.
For making my own bed this week : $1.
For going to the store : $.50.
For playing with baby brother while U went shopping : $.25.
For taking out the trash : $1.
For getting a good report card : $5.
And for raking the yard : $2.
Well, she looked at him standing there expectantly, a thousand memories flash through her mind. After a pause, she picked up the paper, turning it over and this is what she wrote:
For the nine months I carried you, growing inside me : No Charge.
For the nights I sat up with you, doctored you, prayed for you : No charge.
For the time and the tears, and the cost through the years : No Charge.
For the nights filled with dread, and the worries ahead : No Charge.
For advice and the knowledge, and the cost of your college : No Charge.
For the toys, food and clothes, and for wiping your nose : No Charge.
Son, when you add it all up, the full cost of my love is : No Charge.
When kid finished reading, he had great big tears in his eyes. And he looked up at her and said, Mama, I do love you.?
Then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote: P A I D
Moral of story : keep serving and respecting your parents because they are the ones who make you stand on your feet.

Gabbar sends Kaalia and his other two colleagues to Ramgad for collecting the 'loot-maar' software which he had ordered.
They reach Ramgad and start shouting:
Abe O thakur! Baahar nikal !! Kahan hai wo loot-maar software, jo hamne order kiya tha?"
Dhaniya, an old man comes out with a floppy in his hand.
Kaalia - "Kya laye ho dhaniya?"
Dhaniya - "Financial Accounting software hai sarkar."
Kaalia - "Suwar ke bacche! Yeh bekar software hamare liye banaya? Aur woh loot-mar software kya apni beti ke baratiyon ke liye zip file mein chuppa ke rakha hai? Haraam-zada !!"
Thakur comes out of his house with anger, saying: "Chillao mat kaalia !! Jaakar gabbar se kah do ki Thakur Software walon ne paagal kutton ke liye software banana bund kar diya hai"
Kaalia-"Bahut garmi dikha rahe ho thakur? Koi naye programmers hire kiye hain kya??"
Thakur - "Nazar utha ke dekh, Kaalia, tere sar par powerbuilder chalraha hai".
Kaalia lifts his head. He sees Viru(Dharmendra) working on a PC on one water tank and Jay(Amitabh)on another water tank, punching the keys of a Laptop.
Kaalia starts laughing and says: Haa Haa...Ye log programming karenge thakur? Haa haa... in ko to DOS commands bhi nahin aate. Suno Ramgad ke vasiyon,thakur ne data entry operators ki software company banaayi hai"
Veeru shouts: "Chup-chap chala ja kaalia. Ham log consultants hain, kuch bhi kar sakte hain"
Jay hits some commands on his keyboard. Then says: "Jao kaalia, gabbar se kahna ki uska server down ho gaya"
Kaalia-"Jaata hoon thakur. Agar gabbar ko pata chala ki Thakur Software walonne uska loot - maar software nahin banaya, to wo poore network mein virus daal dega"
At the GABBAR's den...
GABBAR: "Kittnay bugs thay"?
KALIA: "Do sarkaar"
GABBAR: "Woh do! Aur tum teen. Phir bhee fix nahin kar sake? kya soch kay aaye ho? Gabbar bahut khus hoga? Naya assignment dega, kyoon? Iski saja milegi.. Barobbar milegi"
[Snatches an X terminal from Sambaa] "Kitne sessions hain, is machine mein?"
Sambaa: Chhey Sarkaar.
GABBAR: "Session chhey aur programmer teen. Bahoot naa-insaafi hai. [logout.. logout... logout....] Haan.. ab theek hai...
Ab tera kyaa hoga kaalia?"
KAALIA: "Sarkaar, maine aapka code likha tha, sarkar?"
GABBAR: " To ab documentation likh !!!"

Guru Dutt is reborn and sets up a Software firm. He makes a film, called 'Software ke phool'. Sahir Sahab likewise revises his old song for the new venture.
It goes like:
yeh document, yeh meetings, yeh features ki duniya,
yeh insaan ke dushman, cursors ki duniya
yeh deadlines ke bhooke, management ki duniya;
yeh Product agar ban bhi jaaye to kya hai?
yahaan ek khilona hai programmer ki hasti
yeh basti hai murda bug-fixers ki basti
yahaan par to raises hai, inflation se sasti
yeh Review agar ho bhi jaaye to kya hai?
har ek keyboard ghayal, har ek login pyaasi
excel mein uljhan, winword mein udaasi,
yeh office hai ya aalame microsoft ki
yeh Release agar ho bhi jaaye to kya hai?

yeh Product agar chal bhi jaaye to kya hai?

Sometimes...
sometimes the snow comes down in june
sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
sometimes its all a big surprise
'cos there was a time when all I did was wish
you'd tell me this was love
its not the way I hoped or planned
but somehow its enough
and now we are standing face to face
isn't this world a crazy place
just when i thought our chance had passed
you go and save the best for the last
sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
sometimes its all a big surprise
'cos there was a time when all I did was wish
you'd tell me this was love
its not the way I hoped or planned
but somehow its enough
and now we are standing face to face
isn't this world a crazy place
just when i thought our chance had passed
you go and save the best for the last

A love letter by a Software Professional
Dear Miss,
I saw you yesterday while surfing on the local train platform and realised that you are the only site I was browsing for. For a long time, I've been lonely, trying to find a bug in my life and you can be a real debugger for me now. My life is just an uncompiled program without you that never produces an executable code and hence is useless.
You not only have a beautiful face, but all your ActiveX controls are attractive as well. Your smile is so delightful that it encourages me and gives me power equal to thousands of mainframes processing power. When you looked at me last evening, I felt all my program modules running smoothly and giving expected results, which I have never experienced before.
With this letter, I just want to convey that, if we linked together, I'll provide you with all the objects and libraries necessary for a human being to live an error free life. Also don't bother about the firewall, which may be created by our parents as I've strong hacking capabilities by which I'll ultimately break their security passwords and make them accept our marriage.
I anticipate that nobody is already logged into your database so that my connect script would fail. And it's all certain that if this happened to me, I will crash my system beyond recovery.
Kindly interpret this letter properly and grant me all privileges of your inbox.
Only yours,
Software Professional

If your wife wants to learn to drive, don't stand in her way.
Behind every great man, there is a surprised woman.
A Spouse is someone who'll stand by you through all the trouble you wouldn't have had if you'd stayed single.
The reason men lie is because women ask so many questions.
Smoking helps you lose weight ... one lung at a time
When I read about the evils of drinking... I gave up reading.
My Grandfather is eighty and still doesn't need glasses... He drinks straight out of the bottle.
You know the kids are growing up when your daughter begins to put on lipstick or your son starts to wipe it off.
I always leave an empty milk carton in the refrigerator just in case some one wants black coffee.
Getting caught is the mother of invention.
Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.
The surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is the fact that it has never tried to contact us.

Life is About Choices
"Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I would be twins!" He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.
Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went upto Michael and asked him, "I don't get it! You can't be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?" Michael replied, "Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.
"Yeah, right, it's not that easy," I protested. "Yes, it is," Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. Your bottomline: It's your choice how you live life.
I reflected on what Michael said. Soon thereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied. "If Iwere any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon to be born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live orI could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "...the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me in to the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read "he's a dead man. I knew I needed to take action."
"What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurses houting questions at me," said Michael. "She asked if I was allergic to anything. "Yes, I replied." The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Gravity. "Over their laughter, I told them, "I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything. "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." After all today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

Lateral Thinking
1. There is a man that lives on the top floor of a very tall building. Everyday he gets the elevatordown to the ground floor to leave the building to goto work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half way up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining! WHY?
This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral Thinking puzzles. It is a trueclassic. Although there are many possible Solutionswhich fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly satisfying. Think over it before checking the answers down below.
2. A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene, but the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says "I can't operate on this boy, he is my son!" How canthis be?
3. A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, jumper, gloves and balaclava. He is walking down a black street with all the street lamps off. A black car is coming towards him with its light off too but somehow manages to stop intime. How did the driver see the man?
4. One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older twin brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. Why?
5. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones? This is logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle which can be solved by lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known software company as an interview question for prospective employees.
6. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch.He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the man not die?
7. A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people there. They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He lookedaround to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and he knew immediately that theywere Adam and Eve. How did he know?
8. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?
9. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank you' and walks out.
This puzzle has claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple in its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying solution. Most people struggle very hard to solvethis one yet they like the answer when they hear itor have the satisfaction of figuring it out.
SOLUTIONS:
1) The man is very very short and so can only reachhalf way up the lift buttons! However, if it israining then he will have his umbrella with him andso can press the higher buttons with it.
2)The surgeon is the boy's mother.
3) It was day time.
4) At the time she went into labor, the mother of the twins was travelling by boat. The older twin, Terry,was born first early on March 1st. The boat then crossed a time zone and Kerry, the younger twin, wasborn on February the 28th. Therefore, the younger twin celebrates her birthday two days before herolder brother.
5) A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the diagonal of the manhole. A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So for safety and practicality, all manhole covers should beround.
6) The poison in the punch came from the ice cubes.When the man drank the punch, the ice was fully frozen. Gradually it melted, poisoning the punch.
7) He recognized Adam and Eve as the only people without navels. because they were not born of women, they had never had umbilical cords andtherefore they never had navels. This one seems perfectly logical but it can sometimes spark fiercetheological arguments.
8) They were two of a set of triplets (orquadruplets etc.) This puzzle stumps many people. They try outlandish solutions involving test-tube babies or surrogate mothers. Why does the rain search for complex solutions when there is a much simpler one available?
9) The man had hiccups. The barman recognized this from his speech and drew the gun in order to give him a shock. It worked and cured the hiccups-so theman no longer needed the water. The is a simple puzzle to state but a difficult one to solve. It is a perfect example of a seemingly irrational and incongruous situation having a simple andcomplete explanation.
Amazingly this classic puzzle seems to work indifferent cultures and languages.
Bright and Brilliant
Pervez Musharraf comes to Delhi for a meeting with Vajpayee.
After dinner, Vajpayee says to Musharraf: "Well, I don't know what you think of the members of your Cabinet, but mine are all bright and brilliant."
"How do you know?" asks Musharraf.
"Oh well, it's simple", says Atal.
"They all have to take special tests before they can be a minister. Wait a second" He calls Advani over and says to him "Tell me Advaniji, who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister?"
"Ah, that's simple", says Advani, "it is me!"
"Well done Advani", says Vajpayee and Musharraf is very impressed.
He returns to Islamabad and wonders about the intelligence of the members of his Cabinet.
He calls in favorite member of Cabinet and asks: "Tell me, who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister?"
He thinks and thinks and doesn't know the answer. "Can I think about it a bit further? May I let you know tomorrow?"
"Of course", says Musharraf, "you've got 24 hours."
He goes away, thinks as hard as he can, calls in his Cabinet Secretary,Chief Secretaries and Joint Secretaries, but no-one knows the answer.
Twenty hours later, the member of Musharraf's Cabinet is very worried still no answer and only 4 hours to go.
Eventually he says: "I'll ask Benazir, she's clever, she'll know the answer."
He calls Benazir. "Benazir" he says, "tell me who is the child of your father and of your mother who is not your brother and is not your sister?"
"Very simple", says Benazir, "it's me!" "Of course" says the Cabinet member and rings Musharraf.
"Sir", says he,"I've got the answer: It's Benazir Bhutto".
"No,you idiot", says Musharraf, "it's Advani.

Lunch
An Irishman, a Mexican, and a Sardar were doing construction work on the 20th floor of a building. They were eating lunch when the Irishman said, "Corned beef and cabbage. If I get corned beef and cabbage one more time for lunch, I'm going to jump off this building."
The Mexican opened his lunch box and said, "Burritos again?? If I get burritos one more time, I'm going to jump, too."
The Surdar opened his lunch and said, "Parathe again. If I get a parathe one more time, I'm jumping, too."
The Next Day:
The Irishman opens his lunch box, sees corned beef and cabbage and jumps to his death. The Mexican opens his lunch box, sees a burrito and jumps to his death. The surdar opens his lunch, sees the parathe and also jumps to his death.
At the funeral, the Irishman's wife is weeping. She says, "If I had known how tired he was of corned beef and cabbage, I never would have given it to him again." The Mexican's wife also weeps and says, "I could have given him tacos or enchiladas. I didn't realize he hated burritos so much."
Everyone turned and stared at the Surdar's wife, and she said, "Hey, don't look at me... that dumb used to make his own lunch."

Drunkard and the Pope
A drunk that smelled like a brewery got on a bus one day. He sat down next to a priest. The drunk's shirt was stained, his face was full of bright red lipstick, and he had a half empty bottle of wine sticking out of his pocket. He opened his newspaper and started reading.
A couple of minutes later, he asked the priest, "Father, what causes arthritis"?
"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, and contempt for your fellow man."
"Well, I'll be damned," the drunk muttered. He returned to reading his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he said, turned to the man and apologized. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
"I don't have arthritis, Father, but I just read in the paper that the Pope has does."
WORKER DEAD AT DESK FOR 5 DAYS
WORKER DEAD AT DESK FOR 5 DAYS
In the Birmingham Sunday Mercury (7th Jan 2001)
In the Birmingham Sunday Mercury (7th Jan 2001)
Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to work out why no one noticed that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his desk for five days before anyone asked if he was feeling okay. George Turklebaum, 51,who had been employed as a proof-reader at a New York firm for 30 years,had a heart attack in the open-plan office he shared with 23 other workers. He quietly passed away on Monday, but nobody noticed until Saturday morning when an office cleaner asked why he was still working during the weekend. His boss Elliot Wachiaski said: "George was always the first guy in each morning and the last to leave at night, so no one found it unusual that he was in the same position all that time and didn't say anything. "He was always absorbed in his work and kept much to himself." A post mortem examination revealed that he had been dead for five days after suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was proof reading manuscripts of medical textbooks when he died. You may want to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally.
And the moral of the story: Don't work too hard. Nobody notices anyway......
Don't Lie To Your Mother
Shane invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal his mother couldn't help noticing how beautiful Shane's roommate was. She had long been suspicious of a relationship between Shane and his roommate and this only made her more curious.
Over the course of the evening, while watching the two interact, she started to wonder if there was more between Shane and the roommate than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Shane volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, Kerry and I are just rommates."
About a week later, Kerry came to Shane and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle."
"You don't suppose she took it, do you? " Shane said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a email just to be sure."
So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you did take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you didn't take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."
Later in the day Shane received an email from his mother which read:"Dear Son, I'm not saying that you do sleep with Kerry, and I'm not saying that you do not sleep with Kerry. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"

Catchy Captions
Four insurance companies are in competition.

The Second one tries to improve on that with "Coverage from the womb to the tomb."
Not to be outdone, the third one comes up with "From the sperm to the worm."
The fourth insurance company really thought hard and almost gave up the race, but finally came up with "From the erection to the resurrection."

Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St. Andrew."
The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Hamish, that's not right either."
Finally, a Jewish boy raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ."
The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, Marvin, come up here and I'll give you the $2."
As the teacher was giving Marvin his money, she said, "You know Marvin, since you're Jewish, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ."
Marvin replied, "Yeah. In my heart I knew it was Moses, but business is business..."

Never believe a Barber
A man was getting a haircut prior to a trip to Rome. He mentioned the trip to the barber who responded, "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded, dirty and full of Italians. You're crazy to go to Rome. So,how are you getting there?"
"We're taking TWA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"TWA?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, whereare you staying in Rome?"
"We'll be at the downtown International Marriott."
"That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you getthere?"
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million other people trying to seehim. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the man again came in for his regular haircut. The barber asked him about his trip to Rome.
"It was wonderful," explained the man, "not only were we on time in one of TWA's brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumpedus up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a beautiful 28 year old stewardess who waited on me hand and foot. And the hotel - it was great! They'd just finished a $25 million remodeling job and now it's the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us the presidential suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the barber, "I know you didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, for as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes topersonally meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the pope would personally greet me. "
Sure enough, five minutes later the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down as he spoke a few words to me."
"Really?" asked the Barber. "What'd he say?"
He said, "Where'd you get the lousy haircut?"
"We're taking TWA," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"TWA?" exclaimed the barber. "That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, whereare you staying in Rome?"
"We'll be at the downtown International Marriott."
"That dump! That's the worst hotel in the city. The rooms are small, the service is surly and they're overpriced. So, whatcha doing when you getthere?"
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and we hope to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the barber. "You and a million other people trying to seehim. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."

Whats ur name?
The manager of a large office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office. "What's your name?" he asked the new guy.
"John," the new guy replied.
The manager scowled, "Look... I don't know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I refer to my employees by their last name only ... Smith, Jones, Baker ... That's all. I am to be referred to only as Mr. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?"
The new guy sighed, "Darling. My name is John Darling."
"Okay John, the next thing I want to tell you is . . . "
"John," the new guy replied.

PJs on elephants
These are real PJs on elephants. Those with blood pressure, please avoid. But never read only one. The effects are cumulative. After you finish reading them, be sure I'll be praying not to see you for a long long time...

Back from the Dead
This guy comes home from work one day to find his dog with the neighbor's pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is dead and the guy panics. He thinks the neighbor is going to hate him forever, so he takes the dirty, chewed up rabbit into the house and gives it a bath, blow dries its fur and puts the rabbit back into the cage at the neighbor's house, hoping they will think it died of natural causes.
A few days later, the neighbor is outside and asks the guy, "Did you hear that Fluffy died?"
The guy stumbles around and says, "Um...er...no...what happened?"
The neighbor replies, "We just found him dead in his cage one day. But the weird thing is that the day after we buried him we went outside and someone had dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back into the cage. There must be some real sick people out there!"

Sherlock Holmes
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they lay down for the night, Holmes said, "Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson said, "I see millions and millions of stars."
"And what does that tell you?"
"Astronomically," Watson replied, "it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God and His Universe are infinite. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
"Somebody stole our tent."

IF Microsoft Made Cars
Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you'd have to buy a new car.Occasionally your car would just die on the motorway for no reason, accept this, restart and drive on.
Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your car to stop and fail to restart and you'd have to re-install the engine. For some strange reason, you'd just accept this too.
You could only have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought a "Car 95" or a "Car NT." But then you'd have to buy more seats.
Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was twice as reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive - but it would only run on five percent of the roads.
The Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft® upgrades to their cars which would make their cars go much slower.
The oil, engine, gas and alternator warning lights would be replaced with a single "General Car Fault" warning light.
People would get excited about the "new" features in Microsoft® cars, forgetting completely that they had been available in other cars for many years.
We'd all have to switch to Microsoft® gas and all auto fluids but thepackaging would be superb.
New seats would force everyone to have the same size butt.
The airbag system would say "Are you sure?" before going off.
If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.
They wouldn't build their own engines, but form a cartel with their engine suppliers. The latest engine would have 16 cylinders, multi-point fuel injection and 4 turbos, but it would be a side-valve design so you could use Model-T Ford parts on it.
There would be an "Engine Pro" with bigger turbos, but it would be sloweron most existing roads.
Microsoft® cars would have a special radio/cassette player which would onlybe able to listen to Microsoft® FM, and play Microsoft® Cassettes. Unless of course, you buy the upgrade to use existing stuff.

Arj Kiya Hai!
company kee ladkiyaan sunder hain aur lonely hain...
Problem ye hai ki bus voh READ-ONLY hain...
Tumhare samne hain itney items kabhi hame bhi pick karo...
Hamare pyar ke ICON pe kabhi to tum DOUBLE-CLICK karo...
Roz subha hum karte hai itne pyar se unhe good morning...
woh humhe ghoor kar dekhte hain jaise 0 ERRORS but 5 WARNINGS...
Ho gayi galti humse, click ho gaya mouse
Duniya ki parwaah chhodo, ban jaao meri spouse!
Tumse mila main kal to, mere dil mein hua ek sound,
Lekin aaj tum mili to kehti ho: Your file not found!
Ab aur kaho na tum, "but" ya "if"
Tum ho meri zindagi ki animated gif
Aysa bhi nahin hai ke, I don't like your face
Par dil ke computer mein, nahin hai enough disk space
Ghar se nikalti ho tum jab, pehen ke evening gown
Too many requests se, ho jaata hai server down
Tumhaare liye pyaar ki application, create main karoonga
Tum usse debug karna, wait main karoonga
Kya chaal hai tumhaari, jaise chalti hai koi cat
What is your ICQ number, aao karein chat
Tum jabse meri zindagi mein, aayi ho banke female
Yaad raha na ab kuch, na postman, na e-Mail
Tumhaara intezaar karte karte, main so gaya
Yeh dekho mera connection, time out ho gaya
Problem ye hai ki bus voh READ-ONLY hain...
Tumhare samne hain itney items kabhi hame bhi pick karo...
Hamare pyar ke ICON pe kabhi to tum DOUBLE-CLICK karo...

Anniversary Dinner
Joe was not a very romantic person, and furthermore he was rather stupid. But he wanted to impress his wife, so he took her out for an anniversary dinner and watched the couples around them, following their leads.
He observed the couple next to him. The man lifted a sugar shaker towards his wife’s cup and said, "Sugar, sugar?" Joe thought this was great and continued to listen around the dining room.
Another table over Joe observed the following. A man spooned out some honey out of a bowl for his wife and asked, "Honey, honey?" Again Joe thought this was good stuff.
Finally, he cut off a piece of his meat, stared longingly into his young wife’s eyes and said, "Ham, pig?"

Enjoy AIR INDIA
Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.
This is your captain (Sharma) welcoming you on board of Air India.
We apologize for the four-day delay in taking off, it was due to bad weather and some overtime I had to put in at the bakery. This is flight 126 to New Delhi.
Landing in Delhi is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in the East. If luck is in our favour, we may even be landing on your village!
Air India has an excellent safety-record. In fact our safety standards are so high that even the terrorists are afraid to fly with us.
It is with pleasure, I announce that starting this year over 50% of our passengers have reached their destination. If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger request, we can arrange to turn them off!
To make your free fall to earth pleasant and memorable, we serve complimentary tea and biscuits!
For our not-so-religious passengers, we are the only airline who can help you find out if there really is a God!
We regret to inform you, that today's in-flight movie will not be shown as we forgot to record it from the television.
But for our movie buffs, we will be flying right next to Indian Airlines, where their movie will be visible from the right side of the cabin window.
There is no smoking allowed in this airplane. Any smoke you see in the cabin is only the early warning system on the engines telling us to slow down!
In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as possible for the best view. If, however, we go a little too close, do let us know. Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right through the landmark!
Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright position for take-off and fasten your seat-belt.
For those of you who can't find a seat-belt, kindly fasten your own belt to the arm of your seat ... and for those of you whocan't find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch with a stewardess who will explain how to fasten yourself to your suitcase."

Bad News
The doctor says, "Mr. Sharma, I have some bad news and some very bad news."
Mr. Sharma says, "Well, you might as well give me the bad news first."
The doctor says, "The lab called with your test results. You have 24 hours to live."
Mr. Shapiro says, "Twenty-four hours? That's terrible! What could be worse?"
The doctor says, "I've been trying to reach you since yesterday.

What is Politics?
Son: What is Politics?
Dad: Well son, let me try to explain it this way:
"I'm the breadwinner of the family, so let's call me Capitalism. Your Mom, she's the administrator of the money, so we'll call her the Government. We're here to take care of your needs, so we'll call you the People. The nanny, we'll consider her the Working Class. Now your baby brother,we'll call him the Future. Now, think about that and see if that makes sense."
So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.
Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all
about."
The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."
Dad: Well son, let me try to explain it this way:

Later that night, he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has severely soiled his diaper. So the little boy goes to his parents' room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to the nanny's room. Finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.
The next morning, the little boy says to his father, "Dad, I think I understand the concept of politics now."
The father says, "Good son, tell me in your own words what you think politics is all
about."
The little boy replies, "Well, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, the Government is sound asleep, the People are being ignored and the Future is in deep shit."

Alcohol
One Sunday morning the minister was preaching about the dangers of alcohol.
To prove his point he held up 2 glasses, one had alcohol and the other had water.
He then put a live worm in each glass.
The worm in the alcohol shriveled up and died immediately.
The other one in the water glass was swimming around and very much alive.
The preacher asked the congregation what lesson do we learn from this demonstration.
The parish drunk replied: People who drink alcohol willnever have worms.

Movie by the name Gavaskar
Sunil Gavaskar hears about a movie called 'Gavaskar' newly released in Australia.
He feels quite flattered, he knew the Aussies always liked him, despite his run in with 'Dennis Lillee' and Gavaskar then gets himself invited for the premier, after sitting through the whole show he realizes that there wasn't a single mention of him or his great achievements in the movie.
He approached the producer visibly upset. "How come you make a movie called 'Gavaskar' and have no mention of me in it at all"?
The producer replies: "Dont make such a fuss ... you Indians made a movie called Border where there was no mention of Alan Border either."

Are U an Engineers?
Comprehending Engineers - Take One
Two male engineering students were walking across campus when one said,"Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said,"Take what you want." The second engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probablywouldn't have fit."
Comprehending Engineers - Take Two
To the optimist, the glass is half full. To a pessimist, the glass is half empty. To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
Comprehending Engineers-Take Three
A pastor, a doctor and an engineer were waiting one morning for a particularly slow group of golfers. The engineer fumed, "What's with these guys? We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!" The doctor chimedin, "I don't know, but I've never seen such ineptitude!" The pastor said, "Hey, here comes the greenskeeper. Let's have a word with him."[dramatic pause] "Hi George. Say, what's with that group aheadof us? They're rather slow, aren't they? The greenskeeper replied, "Oh, yes, that's a group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight saving our clubhouse from a fire last year, so we always let them play for free anytime." The group was silent for a moment. The pastor said, "That's so sad. I think I will say a special prayer for them tonight." The doctor said,"Good idea. And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there's anything he can do for them." The engineer said, "Why can't these guys play at night?"
Comprehending Engineers-Take Four
What is the difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers? Mechanical Engineers build weapons, Civil Engineers build targets.
Comprehending Engineers-Take Five
Three engineering students were gathered together discussing the possible designers of the human body. One said, "It was a mechanical engineer. Just look at all the joints." Another said, "No, it was an electrical engineer. The nervous system has many thousands of electrical connections." The last said, "Actually it was a civil engineer. Who else would run a toxic waste pipeline through a recreational area?"
Comprehending Engineers - Take Six
An engineer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess". He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn meback into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week." The engineer took the frog out of hispocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket.The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want for a week." Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket. Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The engineer said, "Look I'm an engineer. I don't havetime for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, that's cool.

Dead Dog
A man brought a very limp dog into the veterinary clinic. As he lay the dog on the table, the doctor pulled out his stethoscope, placing thereceptor on the dog's chest. After a moment or two, the vet shook his head sadlyand said, "I'm sorry, but your dog has passed away."
"What?" screamed the man. "How can you tell? You haven't done any testing on himor anything. I want another opinion!"
With that, the vet turned and left the room. In a few moments, he returned with a Labrador Retriever. The Retriever went right to work, checkingthe poor dead dog out thoroughly with his nose. After a considerable amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his head and said, "Bark"(meaning "dead as a doornail").
The veterinarian then took the Labrador out and returned in a few moments with a cat, who also carefully sniffed out the poor dog on the table.As had his predecessors, the cat sadly shook his head and said, "Meow" (meaning "he's history"). He then jumped off the table and ran out of the room.
The veterinarian handed the man a bill for $600.
The dog's owner went berserk. "$600! Just to tell me my dog is dead? This is outrageous!"
The vet shook his head sadly and explained. "If you had taken my word for it, the charge would have been $50, but you wanted the Lab workand the cat scan."

The Last Confession
Jake was on his death bed. His wife, Susan, was maintaining a vigil by his side.
As she held his fragile hand, tears ran down her face. Her praying roused him from his slumber. He looked up and his pale lips began to moveslightly. "My darling Susan," he whispered.
"Hush, my love," she said. "Rest. Shhh. Don't talk."
He was insistent. "Susan," he said in his tired voice. "I have something I must confess to you."
"There's nothing to confess," replied the weeping Susan. "Everything's all right, go to sleep."
"No, no. I must die in peace, Susan. I slept with your sister, your best friend,and your mother."
"I know," she replied. "That's why I poisoned you"

Banta Singh's Y2K Report
Report submitted by Banta Singh to his manager after completing his Y2K verification task.
Dear Sir,
Our staff has completed the 18 months of work on time and on budget. We have
gone through every line of code in every program in every system. We have
analyzed all databases, all data files, including backups and historic archives,
and modified all data to reflect the change.
We are proud to report that we have completed the "Y-to-K" date change mission, and have now I implemented all changes to all programs and all data to reflect your new standards:
Januark, Februark, March, April, Mak, June, Julk, August, September,October, November, December as well as: Sundak, Mondak, Tuesdak, Wednesdak Thursdak, Fridak, Saturdak.
I trust that this is satisfactory, because to be honest, none of this Y to K problem has made any sense to me. But I understand it is a global problem, and our team is glad to help in any way possible. And what does the year 2000 have to do with it? Speaking of which, what do you think we ought to do next year when the two digit year rolls over from 99 to 00?
We'll await your direction."
Very Sincerely,
Banta Singh,
Y2K Project Leader
