Honesty

A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the priest beside her, "Father, may I ask a favor?"

"Of course. What may I do for you?"

"Well, I bought an expensive! Electronic hair dryer that is well over the Customs limits and I'm afraid they'll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?"

"I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie."

"With your honest face, Father, no one will question you."

When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked, "Father, do you have anything to declare?"

"From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare."

The official thought this answer strange, so asked, "And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?"

"I have a marvelous little instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused."

Roaring with laughter, the official said, "Go ahead, Father - - Next!"

Mass Destruction

It was the day after India's Independence Day. A thoughtful Tony Blair who had watched the celebrations on TV got onto the phone with his friend Bush:


"India!" shouted Blair.


"What about India?" asked a startled Bush.


"We English made a mistake George," said Blair, "I need to get India back as a colony!"



"You serious Tony?" asked a still more startled Bush.



"Yeah this is not the India we let go some sixty years ago," said Blair, "this is a colony we would be proud to have now."



"So whatcha plannin' to do?" asked Bush.


"Why George what we did to Saddam. Attack them."


"You sayin' we? You not hoping I'm goin' to join you are you?"


"I helped you in Iraq George, you forgettin' or sometin'?"



"Yeah but we had an excuse there Tony, we were lookin' for weapons of mass destruction, you remember?"



"So we do the same thing here George. We tell the Indians to give up their weapons of mass destruction!"



"I don't know whether we are doing the right thing Tony, India is a democracy you know?"


"I lied for you in Iraq George. Nearly lost the elections for you. I'm sure you could do this lil' favour for me.. With India back as my colony, we'll be back as a world power! Britain rules the world! You heard that phrase George?"


"I thought it was America who was doing the ruling Tony."


"We'll do the rulin' together George. You and me will be equal partners once I get my India back. Come on George talk to that Manmohan feller, tell him to give up his weapons of mass destruction, or else..!"


"Okay Tony since you insist. Can you call me back in five minutes."


"Shall I get my ships ready?"



"For what?" asked a surprised Bush.



"For war dammit," shouted Tony as he put the phone down and waited for Bush to talk to the Indian Prime Minister. He walked over to a little globe he had on his office table and circled India gleefully.


The phone rang and he ran to pick it up.


"Tony it is me," said George, "how many ships you got ready?"


"Aye aye sir, the Royal Navy is ready for action!" said Tony, standing at attention.



"You can send them to India," said Bush.



"To fight?" asked Blair happily.


"No to pick up their weapons of mass destruction."


"Whatcha talkin' about?" asked a confused Blair.


"Manmohan said you would know 'cause it is your people who made them," said Bush.


"What weapons of mass destruction?" whispered Blair uncertainly.


"Their politicians, their MPs, their MLAs," said Bush happily, "Manmohan said you could take them all back to England where they were trained years ago by your people to divide and rule..!"

Men's Logic

A man and his wife were in a court for their divorce case.

The Problem was who should get custody of the child.

The wife screamed and jumped up and said: "Your Honor. I brought The child into the world with all the pain and labor.

The child Should be in my custody."

The judge turned to the husband and said: "What do you have to Say in your defense?"

The man sat for a while contemplating. ..then slowly rose. "Your Honor... If I put a dollar in a Pepsi Vending Machine and a Pepsi Comes out...

Whose Pepsi is it... The machine's or mine?"
