TWO men were employed in a computer hardware store as movers. One day both of them were asked to move some computers. One of them being energetic that day did not feel the computer to be heavy at all. At the same time he saw that his colleague was struggling very hard to lift his computer. At this he said, "What’s wrong with you? My computer has 80GB Hard Disk, yours has just 40GB, even then you cannot lift it?" At this the other thought for a while and replied, "That is right, but my HD is full and yours is empty." Fastest mode A man approached a local in a village and asked: "What is the quickest way to the nearest city?" The villager scratched his head and asked the stranger, "Are you walking or driving?" "I am driving." "That is the quickest way!" Home truth A man had been out for a few days due to ill health. At work his colleagues asked him how he was feeling? "I’m better, thanks. You know, it was a wonderful experience." he replied. "Wonderful? How can the cold and fever be wonderful?" one colleague said in stunned disbelief. "Well, I learned that my wife really loves me. You know that whenever the mailman came by or a delivery man headed toward the door, she ran out to meet them? I could hear her excitedly saying, ‘My husband is home! My husband is home!" Fat chance A man is sitting at the coffee shop, staring morosely into his coffee. One of his friends came and asked why was he so sad. "Well," the man said, "I ran afoul of one of those questions my wife asks. Now I’m in deep trouble at home." "What kind of question?" the friend asked. "My wife asked me if I would still love her if she was old, fat and ugly." "That’s easy," said the friend. "You just say ‘Of course I will’." "Yeah," the man said, "that’s what I did, except I said ‘Of course I do’." Rue the roost A man was driving down a quiet country lane when out into the road strayed a rooster. Smack. The rooster disappeared under the car and up floated a cloud of feathers. Shaken, the driver pulled over at the farmhouse, rang the doorbell. A farmer appeared. The man, somewhat nervously said, "I think I killed your rooster. Please allow me to replace him." "Suit yourself," the farmer replied, "you can go join the other chickens that are at the back." — Compiled by Sunil Sharma |
