Role
Reversal?
Barbara Walters filed a report on gender roles in Kuwait
a few years prior to the Gulf War, and noted then that,
in traditional Islamic fashion, women customarily walked
about 10 feet behind their husbands.
Recently, Barbara returned to Kuwait and observed that the
MEN now walked several yards behind their wives.
She approached one of the Kuwaiti women for an explanation.
"This is marvellous," Barbara said. "What
enabled women here to achieve this reversal of roles?"
The Kuwaiti woman replied, "Land mines."
The
Space Race
Americans and Russians were competing who would go to the
moon and build more on it.
The minister comes to the American president:
Mister President, the Russians have already launched their
spaceship!
President: Yes, yes, let them!
A few days later: Mister President, the Russians have already
landed on the moon!
President: Yes, yes, calm down!
In a week: Mister President, it's the Russians,
they started painting the moon red!
President: That's fine, just fine!
In a month: Mister President, the Russians have painted
half the moon red, we'd better do something too!!
President: No, no, don't worry!
In two months: Mister President, the Russians have finished
painting the moon, the whole moon is red now!!
President: That's great, now send our spaceship
up there to write Coca-Cola on it!
Teacher
: "Which is more important to us, the sun
or the moon?"
Pupil : "The moon".
Teacher : "Why?"
Pupil : "The moon gives us light at
night when we need it but the sun gives us light only in
the day time when we don't need it".
Teacher
: "What do you call a person who keeps on
talking when people are no longer interested?"
Pupil : "A teacher".
Waiter
: "Would you like your coffee black?"
Customer : "What other colours do
you have?"
My father
is so old that when he was in school, history was called
current affairs.
Teacher
: "Sam, you talk a lot !"
Sam : "It's a family tradition."
Teacher : "What do you mean?"
Sam : "Sir, my grandpa was a street
hawker, my father is a teacher."
Teacher : "What about your mother?"
Sam : "She's a woman."
Tom
: "How should I convey the news to my father
that I've failed?"
David: "You just send a telegram:
Result declared, past year's performance repeated."
Teacher
: "Now, children, if I saw a man beating a
donkey and stopped him, what virtue would I be showing?"
Student : "Brotherly love."
Teacher
: "Now, Sam, tell me frankly do you say prayers
before eating?"
Sam : "No sir, I don't have to, my
mom is a good cook."
Patient
: "What are the chances of my recovering,
doctor?"
Doctor : "One hundred percent. Medical
records show that nine out of ten people die of the disease
you have. Yours is the tenth case I've treated. The others
all died."
Teacher
: " Can anybody give an example of COINCIDENCE?"
One Student : "Sir, my Mother and
Father got married on the same day and at the same time."
Teacher
: "George Washington not only chopped down
his father's Cherry tree, but also admitted doing it. Now
do you know why his father didn't punish him?"
One Student: " Because George still had the axe in
is hand."
