A man once spent days looking for his new hat. Finally, he decided that he’d go to church on Sunday and sit at the back. During the service he would sneak out and grab a hat from the rack at the front door.

On Sunday, he went to church and sat at the back. The sermon was about the 10 commandments. He sat through the whole sermon and instead of sneaking out he waited until the sermon was over and went to talk to the minister.

“Father, I came here today to steal a hat to replace the one I lost. But after hearing your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I changed my mind.”

The minister said, “Bless you my son. Was it when I started to preach ‘Thou shall not steal,’ that changed your heart?”

The man responded, “No, it was the one on adultery. When you started to preach on that, I remembered where I left my hat.”

A man and a woman, who have never met before, find themselves assigned to the same sleeping room on a transcontinental train. Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, the two retire and fall asleep quickly. He is in the upper bunk and she is in the lower bunk. At 1:00 AM, he leans over and gently wakes the woman saying: “Ma’am, I’m sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach into the closet to get me a second blanket? I’m awfully cold.”
“I have a better idea,” she replies. “Just for tonight, let’s pretend that we’re married.”
“Wow! That’s a great idea!!” he exclaims.
“Good,” she replies. “Get your own damn blanket!”
After a moment of silence, he farted.

A BOY in love with a girl presented her with a lotus flower.

In return the girl gave him a tight slap across his face. The boy was taken aback and asked, ‘I gave you a flower and you paid me back in this way. Why?’

The girl replied, ‘you gave me a kamal which is the emblem of the BJP and I gave you haath which is the emblem of the Congress party.’

The joke of the day is himself writing this article. I was ‘punked’ last night when I decided to watch KANK on cable.
From the very beginning SRK’s attitude towards both his partner and his marriage was appalling. It seemed as if he was finding ways to be infidel to his wife.
The film had generated much hype and had been in the news since it’s release with heavy discussions and special coverage on premium news channels. But, I guess it was all hot air.
In the 25 minutes for which I watched the film, I simply cursed myself for falling prey to the gimmicks played by bollywood directors for selling their product.
