Ahem-this one's from last week's Patrika(newspaper)-see winner no. 2.:) Feels great,coz it's the first time I won a prize via an SMS contest..:) Not bad-the money's not the big thing-it's just the thrill of seeing one's name selected from what must've been 100s of correct entries...:)

I was going to make this post @ my newspaper choices,but, it needs a lot of writing time,so,I'll do it next time...I want to translate this joke,today, from Gujarat Samachar.

The joke begins with a thought- why do so many terr*ris*s come from places round the world but not from Ahmedabad? Why are there no Ahmedabadi terr*ris*s? The analysis:

1. Ahmedabadis never reach on time. If they want to hij*ck a flight, they'd reach the airport in an auto, after the flight takes off.

2. If they do catch the flight, they see all the free tea,coffee,drinks and food, and forget what they really came on the flight for.

3. If they do manage to hij*ck a flight, they'll want to take a photo with the hostage air hostess, and would begin fighting between themselves, as to who'll get photographed first.

4. After hij*cking a flight, they'd not take it to Dxb, Afghan*stan or somewhere like that-they'd take it to,say, Myanmar or some such backward country, since the plane's aviation fuel can be drained and sold at a higher rate there.

5. If they do plan to hij*ck a flight, the police would know 2 weeks in advance. Why? Because they'd have spread the word in Khadia, Naranpur, Bapunagar, etc, telling their friends and relatives'Boss, we're going to hi*ack a plane on .....*

6. They'd postpone a hij*cking mission, with the reasoning, 'Yaar, today, India is playing in the (cricket) match(so, that's more important)'.

For those who'd like to enjoy it and the other jokes of the week in Gujarati, here's the clipping...it's more hilarious due to the original wordings.:)

Today was a repeat of a previous experience. I'd gone to R. Fresh- (love shopping there-lots of variety), to collect a reduced price gift. They have this scheme,that if you spend so-and-so amount this month, you get a free gift of so-and-so value, for reduced price. Well, the gift was a pair of Treo bowls, which looked fab, and were well worth it.

So, I went to the checking counter, and asked him to check my membership card and confirm the amount spent. He confirmed the amount, and I said, well, make the voucher for it. He began making it for a milton water bottle, which was for a smaller amount..I said, 'No, I want the bowls'-when he looked at me blankly, I pointed out their poster on the wall

He goes up and looks closely...and, realization dawns on him ....'Oh, you mean the two bowels'....ROFL..well, I did finally get my two bow(e)ls, intact and in fine condition!!Always feels good to have them in that state, you know..hehehehe!Want to see a pic?(don't look so horrified-it's the genuine bowels,err, bowls from Treo)- here it is:

It's the two big ones, 500 L each....:) Microwave proof, dishwasher safe.:)
