One day Banta walks into a dingy little storefront travel agency, holds up a page out of a newspaper, and says: "You say in this ad that you have a wonderful luxury cruise for only Rs 5000. I want to go on this wonderful luxury cruise."
The guy behind the counter says "Sure. Do you have five thousand in cash??"
"I sure do," says Banta, plunking the money down on the counter.
At that point, two big thugs leap out of a closet, whack Banta over the head, drag his unconscious body out the back door, stuff him in a barrel and drop the barrel into a river that flows past.

Upon making several false alarm trips to the bathroom, he figured that the latest episode was just that, so he stayed put.
Suddenly... - Nut tree There was a huge nut tree by the cemetery fence. One day two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts.
'One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me,' said one boy.
The bucket was so full, several rolled out towards the fence. Cycling down the road by the cemetery was a third boy. As he passed, he thought... - Delayed Monsoon Santa is a store manager. One day he overheard a clerk saying to a customer, 'No, ma`am, we haven`t had any for some weeks now, and it doesn`t look as if we`ll be getting any soon.'
Alarmed by what was being said, Santa rushed over to the customer who was walking out the door and said... - Banta in a theater Banta lay sprawled across three entire seats in a theater. When the usher came by and noticed this, he whispered to Banta, 'Sorry, sir, but you`re only allowed one seat.'
Banta groaned but didn`t budge.
The usher became impatient. 'Sir,' the usher said, 'if you don`t get up from there...
