A woman's husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she stayed by his bedside every single day. When he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he said, "You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got fired, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you gave me support. When my health started failing, you were still by my side... You know what?" "What dear?" She asked gently. "I think you bring me bad luck!" ------------------------------------------- There is a Barber in the US. One day a florist goes to his shop for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber but to his surprise the barber replies: "I am sorry,I cannot accept money from you as I am doing a community service. The florist is happy and leaves the shop.The next morning when the barber opens the shop he finds a thank you card and a dozen roses on his doorstep. A cop also goes to the same barber and has a hair cut. The barber repeats the same dailogue to him as told to the florist. The cop is happy and leaves a thank you card and a dozen donuts. An Indian software engineer goes to the same barber and the barber repeats the same message the third time. Next morning GUESS WHAT! About a dozen Indian software engineers are waiting for a free hair cut! ------------------------------------------- A little boy finished his English exam and came out. His friends asked him about his exam, for which he replied, "Exam was okay, but for the past tense of THINK, I thought, thought, thought... and at last I wrote THUNK!" ------------------------------------------- Once there was a meeting of all freedom fighters. They were planning to free Punjab from the English empire. One man raised a point, "Oh, we'll get Punjab from India but how would we go about it?" That was a difficult question indeed. Suddenly his mate replied, "No problem! we'll attack the USA, it would take over us and then we would be a state of USA and we'll automatically get developed." Everyone was very happy on this very simple solution except for an an old man who did not utter a single word. Someone asked him why he wasn't happy. To this he said , "OH! that's alright but... what would happen if by chance we take over USA!" ------------------------------------------- Once upon a time there was a woman married to an annoying man named Steve. He would complain about everything. That day he went to

This reminds me of this: Two rats were sitting on a branch in a tree in the forest waiting for the lion to come. Just as the king of the jungle passed below them, they jumped on the lion's back and shouted, "Alright now, let's kill the bastard!"

:laugh::laugh: Something very similar happens in the movie! A very tiny, obscure Balkan country is broke. They come up with the idea to declare war on the United States, lose the war quickly, and apply for a multimillion dollar reconstruction loan. Wearing chain mail and carrying spears their army rows into New York harbor behind a garbage barge, lands, and after a short time the US surrenders! Now they have to figure out what to do next.... Great tale!:-D "How many times do I have to flush before you go away?" - Megan Forbes, on Management (12/5/2002)
