Cannot agree better than penned.
Good one, Arun----but this is an old joke floating around in IT circles since 3 to 4 years!
Louis and Venu
Yeah its not terribly new but it was basically a bait for Nargis to join the blog...
The new one I heard was when last week one junior officer of ours came back from US. This is what he had to say, " Sir jee unka President bhee itna smart hai aur humara PM ko dekho.."
Called up Nargis to find out why she was not responding - Busy skejule???
Came to know she is suffering from Saturday Night Fever!
FAB,
SNF apart, I thought she was still suffering from a jet lag or may be out and out furious that the sabji wala was not accepting her credit card!!!
SNF?? Someone said she called 911 and was peeved by a voice in Oriya that said 'apono dial koriba nombor.....'
And perhaps she was expecting something more homely like 'kisso hey, thu nombor ta passurigollu kee rey?'....
Now I can see Nargis yelling bloody murder.
LOL! Very funny guys! Actually I'm feeling so weak, I don't even have the energy to laugh...:-}
I'm only glad I did not get this flu on our way back. I still remember the ordeal of filling up the forms and queueing up for medical inspection in Hyderabad...:-{
Will soon be active as soon as I'm feeling better...Meanwhile keep having fun ...:-}
