#16. Money Matters!
A man came home huffing and puffing but apparently very happy.
His wife asked him the reason for both of these.
He said, ” I ran behind my bus and saved ten rupees today!”
His wife retorted,
“If you had run behind a taxi you could have saved 200 rupees!”
#17. Doubting Thomas?
I know of some persons who can be classified under the category of the perpetual “Doubting Thomas.”
They would send an e mail. They would immediately go to the sent mail and check up whether it has really been sent.
Then they would ring up the person to whom it was sent informing him about the e mail and its contents.
If the telephone call was already in their agenda…
why take the trouble of sending an e mail
and chasing it all over the place???
#18. Beyond Comprehension!
I used to know an OLD LADY who used to say often,
“The words spoken by people have a hundred different meanings.”
Sadly it did NOT include the original meaning meant by the speaker.

#20. Ever since Creation…
To make a man DO something,
one may have to TEMPT him!
To make a woman DO something,
it is enough if one FORBIDS it!
