| Two Pathans are traveling to Australia. Before they leave home, one of their Gujju friends gives them both a bit of advice: "You watch them Aussie cab drivers. They'll rob you blind. Don't you go paying them what they ask. You haggle." At the Sydney airport, the Pathans catch a cab to their hotel. When they reach their destination, the cabbie says, "That'll be twenty dollars, lads." "Oh no you don't! My friend warned me about you. You'll only be getting fifteen dollars from me," says one of the Pathan. "And you'll only be getting fifteen from me too," adds the other. |
| Why people from different communities run Mumbai Marathon: Punjus run simply because of peer pressure from other communities and that they can upload their pics posing on the Sealink. Otherwise they rather be sleeping. Maharashtrians run because that day most roads are closed and BEST buses are not plying - so how else will they commute ? Biharis & Bhaiyas run because they feel the Maharashtrians are running behind them and they run for their lives. Catholics run because that's what they have been trained for since childhood - athletics or hockey or football. Parsis run so hopefully they can find someone on the race track and get married that same evening. South Indians run because of the completion certificate which they will get so that they can add this to their collection of certificates which they are collecting since childhood. Sindhis run because the cost includes Sealink toll charges. Gujjus run because the cost includes Sealink toll charges plus Goody bag plus Free Water plus Free Enerzal plus Free Oranges plus Free Salt plus Free Ice Pack plus Free whiffs of Volini Spray on the route. Marwaris run for all of the above reasons plus they think they can take an interest free loan from Standard Chartered Bank for their business just because they ran ! |
| Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome, Italy. One has a Cross in front of him; the other one is holding the Star of David. Many people go by, look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the Cross. The Pope comes by. He stops to watch the throngs of people giving money to the beggar who holds the Cross while none give to the beggar holding the Star of David. Finally, the Pope approaches the beggar with the Star of David and says, "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who is holding a Cross. In fact, they would probably give more money to him just out of spite." The beggar with the Star of David listened to the Pope, smiled, and turned to the beggar with the Cross and said, "Jignessbhai, look who's trying to teach the Patel brothers about bijness!" |
| A China-man decides to retire and move to USA after 50 years of living in Shanghai. He bought a home on a small piece of land. A few days after moving in the friendly American neighbour decides to go across and welcome the new guy to the region. He goes next door but on his way up the drive-way he sees the China-man running around his front yard chasing about 10 hens. Not wanting to interrupt these 'Chinese customs', he decides to put the welcome on hold for the day. The next day, he decides to try again, but just as he is about to knock on the front door, he looks through the window and see the China-man urinate into a glass and then drink it. Not wanting to interrupt another 'Chinese custom', he decides to put the welcome on hold for yet another day. A day later he decides to give it one last go, but on his way next door, he sees the China-man leading a bull down the drive-way, ...pause..., and then put his left ear next to the bull's butt. The American bloke can't handle this, so he goes up to the China-man and says, "Jeez Mate, what the hell is it with your Chinese customs? I come over to welcome you to the neighbourhood and see you running around the yard after hens. The next day you are pissing in a glass and drinking it, and then today you have your head so close to that bull's butt, it could just about shit on you." The China man is very taken back and says, "Sorry sir, you no understand, these no Chinese customs. I doing, these American Customs." "What do you mean?" says the neighbour, "Those aren't American customs." Yes they are, man at travel agent tell me' replied the China-man, "He say to become true American, I must learn to... chase chicks, ... get piss drunk, and ... listen to bull-shit. |
