Gasbag

RAM AND Hari set out in a hot air balloon to cross the Indian Ocean. After 37 hours in the air, Ram said: ''Hari, we better lose some altitude so we can see where we are.''

Hari lets out some of the hot air in the balloon, and the balloon descends to below the cloud cover. Ram says: ''I still can't figure out where we are, let's ask the guy on the ground.''

So Hari yells out to the man, ''Hey, could you tell me where we are?'' And the man yells back: ''You're in a balloon, 100 ft up in the air.''

Ram turns to Hari and says: ''That man's a bureaucrat.''

Asks Hari: ''How can you tell?''

Replies Ram: ''Because the information he gave us was 100 per cent accurate and totally useless.''

Food poisoning

TWO cannibals were walking through the jungle talking when the first mentioned to the second that he had a belly ache. The second cannibal asked: "Well, did you eat anything out of the ordinary lately?"

"No," replied the first, "All I've eaten recently was a missionary."

"Hmm," said the second, "And how did you cook him?"

"I boiled him as usual."

"Was he tall, thin & wearing a black robe with a white collar?"

"No. He was short, fat, balding and wore a brown robe."

"Ah ha!" exclaimed the second, "There's your problem, you shouldn't have boiled him. That was a Friar."

Kiss & slap

AN IRISHMAN, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer were sitting in the carriage of a train going through Tasmania. Suddenly, the train went through a tunnel and the carriage was completely dark. Then there was a kissing noise and the sound of a loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, the Englishman had covered his face with his hands. Thought he: ''The Irish fella must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead.''

Claudia thought: ''The Englishman must have tried to kiss me and instead kissed the Irishman and got slapped for it.'' The Irishman thought: ''This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel, I'll make another kissing noise and slap that Englishman.''

JPR,

Thanks for your kind words. Although I do not own Dell. I have been an owner of LU since their inception. I have added to my position along the way with the most recent at 87. What a stock, huh?
