Once in a Blue Moon :On Saturday evening, July 31st, a full Moon will rise for the second time this month (the first time was on July 2nd). Many people call the second full Moon in a calendar month a "blue Moon" and use the expression "once in a blue Moon" to mean something that occurs only rarely

* Boy Scouts from the city were on a camping trip. The mosquitoes were so fierce, the boys had to hide under their blankets to avoid being bitten. One of them saw some lightning bugs and said to his friend, We might as well give up. They are coming after us with flashlights.

* A mother took her three-year-old daughter to church for the first time. The church lights were lowered, and then the choir came down the aisle, carrying lighted candles. All was quiet and serene. And then a new sound was heard: It was the little one singing, in a loud, clear voice, "Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you. . . ."

* One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read. ...And so the pig went up to the man with the wheelbarrow full of straw and said, Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house? The teacher paused, then asked the class, And what do you think the man said? One little boy raised his hand and said excitedly, I know! I know! He said, Holy Shit! A talking pig!

Kissing on the Playground An honest seven-year-old told her parents that Billy Brown had kissed her after class. "How did that happen?" gasped her mother. "It wasn't easy," admitted the young lady, "but three girls helped me catch him." Bathroom Breaks On the first day of school, the Kindergarten teacher said, "If anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two fingers."

Adventures on the Road

My bike just clocked 1000 Kms so I guess i can acclerate a bit more.  ( 60's here i come) .Something I learnt after buying my bike is that Bangalore has a lot of traffic signals. The waiting time varies from road to road, area to area. There are chutkas 20 secs to Looooong 150 seconds( The Mother of All Signals).The long ones are fun , you get to see growling uncles impatiently waiting for anything green. Autorickshaws threatening to run down the signal. Babes saying 'Shuks...' and giving final touches to their make up, guys taking out their spanky new mobiles ,the old man in the cool Silver Merc taking out his Business Times to check out the stock exchange . I have fun at the expense of all these specimens at the junction. Adjusting the mirror to get the reflected look of a beautiful face  :)  is just one of them. The adventures continue........

Pestering Questions on India ?? 1. Do have Tigers....have you seen them...have you touched them ? Yeah we have tigers. They are very friendly.....They come close to you and sniff you... If you are vegetarian they leave you alone. But if you eat meat then they will eat you. That's why most Indians are vegetarian. 2. Why do women wear dots....? Each dot is unique. Since most Indian women are very beautiful their husbands might be confused so they look at each dot to identify their wives. Also at night the dots will shine..like a flashlight.   3.Do you have coca-cola ? Yep, it was first made out of coconut...in India. But Indians didn't like it much. So the Americans bought it and named it coke (from coconut).   4.Did the guy who built the Taj Mahal cut of his people's hands..? The king who built the taj mahal...on seeing the taj mahal so beautiful...cut of the hands of the people so that nobody could touch it and thereby dirty it or destroy it.

Facts of Life

If light travels in straight lines, why are rainbows curved? Although light travels in straight lines, it gets refracted (bent) when it passes through water. Rainbows are curved because the sun's rays enter each raindrop and bounce off the mirror-like surface inside, reaching our eye at an angle of 42 degrees from the direction of the sun. The angle dictates that all of the rays lie on the arc of a circle, but we don't see the whole circle because the ground obscures the bottom of it.   There you learnt something new today !!

Laughter the best medicine

A bricklayer, a carpenter and an electrician argued about who was on the earth first. "We built the Pyramids of Giza," said the bricklayer, "so we must have been here first." "No," said the carpenter. "We built Noah's Ark long before that." Hearing this the electrician chuckled to himself. "What's so funny?" asked the carpenter. "On the first day of creation God said, 'Let there be light,'" explained the electrician. "And we'd already laid the cables."

Jury Duty

"Please, your honor, I'd like to be excused from jury duty," pleaded an anxious-looking man."Why should I excuse you," asked the judge.

"You see, there's a man to whom I owe fifty dollars and he's leaving in a few hours for a post abroad. He'll be there for years and I want to catch him before he leaves, for it may be my last chance to repay him."

"Excused," stated the judge coldly. "We don't want anyone on the jury who can lie like that."

Come Sweet Death!

Persons who live in or near forests of India often make their living by gathering firewood. They tie it into bundles which are slung over their shoulders and carried on their backs to a market-place. One day an old man, out in the woods alone was picking up sticks. He greedily made a pile so large that, when it was tied, he found it too heavy to lift. Sweating and groaning he tried in vain to get it onto his back; the market was far, and the coming of dusk forbade a second trip. Despair came over him. He thought of his lot in life -- so full of labor and poverty and pain -- and he began to long for death. Sitting on the ground he moaned and groaned an muttered to the god of Death to come and take him to the next world. Yama, in his mercy, heard the cry, appeared, and approached him in the forest. "You summoned me?" said Yama, "What may I do for you?" Swallowing hard, the woodsman answered, "I -- I just wanted you to help me put this load of wood onto my back!" Be careful what you want: you just may get it!

You must be kidding !! Christopher Colombus never asked for directions , why should i ?   Informed them that I would be in front of the Jayanagar Complex.Well Anand( who works for a company which started off as a Soap and oil factory , but is now the leading Software Service provider ) called up to say that he was unable to find me on the busy street , which had some good looking chicks and he had trouble concentrating and so asked me to wave my arms.

Its an Ambition:It is one of the most exciting experiences in my life.

Got myself a new motocycle last week .Powered by an 11 BHP engine, Ambition 135 sports a new headlight, a trip meter, new stripes and a new dial design in the instrument panel above all a cool feather touch Self Start .My friends were a bit skeptical when i told them of my choice , but after they took it for a ride , they were impressed by its power and design .They even joked that the pointed headlights looked more like my big Nose..Grr... I usually set out early so that i can beat the Rush hour traffic. I get to meet a lot of college girls , who just wizz past me at 60 kmph. I go at a moderate speed of 40-50 that's because it's brand new and the engine has to "SET " according to my style of driving. So whenever i see a dame go past me,I say to myself " Cool Cool Vc ,time time ki baat hai ". Hhhhhaaaaaa. People I hate on the road : Girls, who have no sense of direction . The other day this dame on a kinetic ,throws the left indicator(which says i'm taking a left turn) , shows her right hand ( indicating that she's taking a right turn) and just goes straight .That really scared me, i pulled way back.Its better to be safe than sorry.Right. Wonder where the next generation is going to.. chi chi. Well I'm looking forward to going on a long drive to Savandurga ( Its a temple on a hilltop ) next weekend .But first must buy a new FERRARI helmet .  Riding a bike is freedom, liberty, power, adventure, and speed. However, you have to respect the rules. I never forget that on the motorcycle I am the body.

Tiny tots

Aaaaaaaaaaaahh ! A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women’s locker room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies grabbing towels and running for cover. The little boy watched in amazement and then asked, “What’s the matter, haven’t you ever seen a little boy before?” Help ! While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my uniform, she asked, “Are you a cop?” “Yes,” I answered and continued writing the report. “My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police. Is that right?” “Yes, that’s right,” I told her. “Well, then,” she said as she extended her foot toward me, “would you please tie my shoe?” SCHOOL ! A little girl had just finished her first week of school. “I’m just wasting my time,” she said to her mother. “I can’t read, I can’t write and they won’t let me talk!”

My fav Puzzle

The Thirteen Wells There is an island with thirteen wells, all of which have poisoned water. The wells are labelled 1-13. All the poisons taste the same, like regular well water. If someone/something drinks a cup of poison from well X, they will die unless they drink another cup of poison from a well numbered greater than X (within a reasonable amount of time). For example, if I drink from well 4, I will die unless I have a cup of poison from well 5 or well 6 or well 7, etc. So... there is a dragon and a knight on this island. They are both rational thinkers. Only the dragon, however, can reach well #13 because it is too high for the knight to get to. Both the knight and the dragon get a cup of water from one of the wells (without the other seeing) and exchange cups, and they have to drink it. Amazingly, the dragon dies and the knight lives. How did this happen?

THE GRAPHOLOGIST : One of my hobbies.

Every handwriting is as unique as a fingerprint. Here are few tips to check out your personality trends. The letter I.i An 'i' without a dot is a sign of absentmindedness. The dot that flies high above the 'i' shows imagination. When the dot on the 'i' is made like a circle it shows an artistic personality. However if the rest of the writing does not show artistic tendencies then the open dot usually indicates a sign of affectation and pretense. The letter O.o. The 'o' that is well formed and closed represents an honest person. The 'o' that is open at the tops shows a person who is friendly and likes to talk. The letter Y.y The lower loop of the 'y' shows the writer's physical orientation. A lower loop that is long and narrow is a sign of materialism. A 'y' formed with no loops, just a straight line down shows independence.
