Stay out of the crappy court system in India. Ratan: A man goes into a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop owner points to three identical-looking parrots on a perch and says, "The parrot on the left costs $500." "Why does the parrot cost so much?" asks the customer. The owner says "Well, the parrot knows how to do legal research." The customer then asks about the next parrot, to be told that this one costs $1,000 because it can do everything the other parrot can do plus it knows how to write a brief that will win any case. Naturally, the increasingly startled customer asks about the third parrot, to be told that it costs $4,000. Needless to say, this begs the question, "What can it do?" To which the owner replies, "To be honest, I've never seen him do a darn thing, but the other two call him Senior Partner."

Ratan: bureaucratic bungholes I don't know what a bunghole is. It is definitely NOT JACKSON HOLE WYOMING. But the standard meaning is that a Bunghole refers to a hole in a cask or a barrel, containing a liquid, more commonly wine. What DIPY does with these bureaucratic bungholes, I have no idea. Most of us will open and close the bunghole and get some wine from it. My feeling is that DIPY has a private meaning for this word "BUNGHOLE". I would confidently say that in his mind a BUNG is an ASS. If there is any other meaning to BUNG, I would want to know. Anyway I have a bureaucratic bungholes JOKE The Perfect bureaucratic bungholes Worker Author: Unknown 1 Bob Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found 2 hard at work in his cubicle. Bob works independently, without 3 wasting company time talking to colleagues. Bob never 4 thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always 5 finishes given assignments on time. Often he takes extended 6 measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping coffee 7 breaks. Bob is a dedicated individual who has absolutely no 8 vanity in spite of his high accomplishments and profound 9 knowledge in his field. I firmly believe that Bob can be 10 classed as a high-caliber employee, the type which cannot be 11 dispensed with. Consequently, I duly recommend that Bob be 12 promoted to executive management, and a proposal will be 13 executed as soon as possible. Addendum: That idiot was standing over my shoulder while I wrote the report sent to you earlier today. Kindly re-read only the odd numbered lines.
