IT IS NOT A STORY BUT A TRUE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED IN AMERICA.

An Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.
He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
 
 The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Indian man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
 
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.

Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest, which comes to $15.41.The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we  checked you out  and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000"
 
 The Indian replies: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return'"

 Ah, the mind of the Indian...
 
 This is why India is shining

A friend told us how as part of the admission procedure in the hospital where they work, they ask the patients if they are allergic to anything.
If they are, they print it on an allergy band placed on the patient's wrists.

Once when they asked an elderly woman if she had any allergies, she said she couldn't eat bananas. I
magine my friend's surprise when several hours later a very irate son came out to the nurses' station demanding,

"Who's responsible for labeling my mother 'bananas'?"

Two fish swim into a concrete wall. The one turns to the other and says "Dam!".

Two men were talking. "My son asked me what I did during the Sexual Revolution," said one.

I told him I was captured early and spent the duration doing the dishes.

Did you hear about the devotee who refused Novocain during a root canal? His goal: transcend dental medication.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him ..(Oh, man, this is so bad, it's good).....

A super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

(you must say this one with an accent.....and out loud)

A woman has twins and gives them up for adoption. One of them goes to a family in Egypt and is named "Ahmal." The other goes to a family in Spain; they name him "Juan." Years later, Juan sends a picture of himself to his birth mother. Upon receiving the picture, she tells her husband that she wishes she also had a picture of Ahmal. Her husband responds, "They're twins! If you've seen Juan, you've seen Ahmal."

Working as a computer instructor for an adult-education program at a community college,
I am keenly aware of the gap in computer knowledge between my younger and older students.

My observations were confirmed the day a new student walked into our library area and glanced at the encyclopedia volumes stacked on a bookshelf.
"What are all these books?" he asked.

Somewhat surprised, I replied that they were encyclopedias.

"Really?" he said. "Someone printed out the whole thing?"

(a bit gross but funny - maharaj you were warned)

A man was driving home late one afternoon, and he was driving above the speed limit.
He notices a police car with its red lights on in his rear view mirror.
He thinks "I can outrun this guy," so he floors it and the race is on.
The cars are racing down the highway -- 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour.

Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the guy figures "what the heck," and gives up. He pulls over to the curb.
The police officer gets out of his cruiser and approaches the car. He leans down and says

"Listen mister, I've had a really lousy day, and I just want to go home. Give me a good excuse and I'll let you go."

The man thought for a moment and said, "Three weeks ago, my wife  ran off with a police officer.
When I saw your cruiser in my rear view mirror, I thought you were that officer and you were trying to give her back to me!"

A farmer wrote to a giant mail order company and asked the price of their toilet paper.

The company wrote back and told him to look on page #287.

He wrote another letter back, "If I had your catalog, I wouldn't have needed to contact you for your toilet paper."

Questionable Quacks...

During an annual psychiatrists convention, three psychiatrists take a walk. "People are always coming to us with their guilt and fears," one says, "but we have no one to go to with our problems. Since we're all professionals, why don't we hear each other out right now?"

They agree that this is a good idea. The first psychiartrist confesses, "I'm a compulsive shopper and deeply in debt, so I overbill patients as often as I can."

The second admits, "I have a drug problem that's out of control, and I frequently pressure my patients into buying illegal drugs for me."

The third psychiatrist says, "I know it's wrong, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't keep a secret."

Words of wisdom:

The right to be heard does not automatically include
the right to be taken seriously.

REALISM, n. The art of depicting nature as it is seem by toads. The charm suffusing a landscape painted by a mole, or a story written by a measuring-worm.

A man turned up at our local jail and claimed to be a painter.
He offered to do portraits of all the inmates.

He was obviously a con artist.

A friend's sister was bemoaning the fact that she had procrastinated cleaning and organizing her house for a long time.
Since she was planning to entertain, she felt a lot of pressure to get moving. That afternoon she phoned, sounding glum.

"I went to the bookstore," she explained, "and I bought a book on how to get organized. I was all fired up, and I decided to clean out all the shelves in the living room. While I was cleaning, I found the same stupid book. I had bought it a couple of years ago!"

A FRIEND, Linda, and her sister were driving in the procession to the cemetery for a distant relative's funeral.
"Since we don't really know anybody, do you want to just head home?" she asked.

When her sister nodded, Linda made a right turn. She had gotten about a quarter of a mile down the road when she happened to look in her mirror.
The rest of the procession was still following her.

Signs you've chosen a "no frills" airline...

* You can't board the plane unless you have the exact change.

* Before you take off, the stewardess tells you to fasten your Velcro.

* The Captain asks all the passengers to chip in a little for gas.

* When they pull the steps away, the plane starts rocking.

* No movie. Don't need one. Your life keeps flashing before your eyes.

* The Captain yells at the ground crew to get the cows off the runway.

* You ask the Captain how often their planes crash and he says, "Just once."

Shortly before takeoff one day, a flight attendant approached Muhammad Ali and politely asked him to fasten his seat belt. Ali, never noted for his modesty, refused: "Superman," he explained, "don't need no seat belt." "Well, Superman," the stewardess smartly replied, "don't need no airplane!"

[Ali fastened his seat belt.]
