The manager went to the Panditji and said, `Thank you for your interest, Panditji, but we have decided to give the job to Velu.' Panditji: `How can you do that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Braj-bhumi, I should get the job!' Manager: `We have made the decision based on the one question which you both got wrong' Panditji: `But how can one wrong answer be worse than the other?' Manager: `Simple, for the question that you both got wrong, Velu put down " I don't know " as the answer, while you wrote " Neither do I "!'

The Brahmin asks, "By Rama, why did you do that ?" to which the Dalit replies, "Before getting onto the train, I stepped into a pile of dog-shit."

Panda's Lock

Panda, fearful and tired of Pande's filching of his items, buys a lock. Panda then tells Pande: `Ha, Pandu thief! Now I have bought a number combination lock for my house. All numbers are fives, but I won't tell you in which order!'

Panda's Cow

Pandaa's cow was very sick. So he went and asked Pandeey, `What Ayurvedic medicine did you give your cow when she was so sick that time?' `Ammoniac mixed with liquor,' replied Pandeey. Pandaa then used Pandeey's Ayurvedic remedy on his cow, but the cow died after two days. Pandaa then went to complain to Pandeey, `What kind of medicine you told me about? My cow died.' Pandeey then replied, `So did mine.'

Peons

Panda and Pande were employed as peons for two officers. Their officers - one tax official and one forest officer - once met, and each claimed that his attendant was the stupidest man in the world. Intrigued by the other's claim, they decided to test them out. The IT-collector told Panda, "Panda! Here are Rs. 10. Go buy me a car." The forest officer meanwhile told Pande, "Pande! Go to my office and see if I am present there." Unknown to the two officers, the two attendants met outside the office. Panda said, "He, Pande! You will not believe, my officer is such an idiot *Mleccha*! He does not know that today is Sunday and that the market is closed, so that I cannot buy any car." Pande chipped in, "My *pagal* boss wants me to see if he is in the office. Why can't he call his office to see if he is present? I have never seen such a lazy officer!"

Robbers

Panda and Pande fell on hard days. They decided to rob the Baniya Prakash Agarwal's house. "After all, Manu-smrti says that the world belongs to the Brahmins by right. So we can take what we want, and it is not a crime as per Hindu law," said Panda. So they both entered the Baniya's house at night and started robbing. Inside the house, Panda accidentally hit a bottle which fell over. "Who is there?" asked Prakash Agarwal from downstairs. Panda had the common sense to say, "Miao" and the commotion downstairs subsided. Panda then made his escape with various goods. Pande then happened to hit the same bottle again. "Who is there?" asked Prakash Agarwal once again. "Nobody, just another cat. Aur ek billi." replied Pande.

Climbing Stairs

Panda invited Pandey over for dinner one day. Panda's house was 25 stories above Pandey's. At night, Pandey climbed 25 stories only to find Panda's door locked and a sign hanging over it.

Wife's Tooth

Once, Pandey's wife had a tooth-ache. "If it was my tooth, I would have pulled it out," Pandey said. "If it was your tooth, I would also have it pulled out!" she replied.

Counselling

Pandey and his wife visited the marriage counseller. "My wife and I never agree. We have been married for six years!" cried Panda. "No, seven!" cried his wife.

Lottery

Panda prayed to god for winning in a lottery. "Hey, Bhagwan Vishnu, please make sure that I win a lottery. I am such a devout Brahmin, and hence I surely deserve this prize more than anybody else." Then a voice came down from the heavens, "O Panda! Give me a chance! At least buy a ticket!"

Suicide

Once Panda became very suicidal because he lost a lot of money while gambling.

"But the tallest building in Mathura is five stories," Pandey replied.
"So what? I will jump off it twice!" snapped Panda.

Money for USA

Pande had gone to USA, and then phoned Panda when he needed some money. "Hi Panda, my good friend, can you lend me five hundred rupees?" asked Pande over the phone.
"Hello? I can't hear you!" replied Panda.
"Panda, it is me, Pande! Can you lend me five hundred rupees?" asked Pande.
"Hello? I can't hear you!" replied Panda. The operator could hear Pande clearly. "There is no problem with the line, Mr. Panda. It is your friend Pande. He wants to borrow Rs. 500 from you," said the operator.
"If you can hear him so clearly, then why don't you lend that Pandu five hundred rupees?" snapped Panda.

Suitor for Pande's Daughter

"Where was he from?" asks Pandey.
"Not from here," says Panda, reading the stone, "he was K.M., from Varanasi".

Kashmir Dhaba

Pandaa and Pandey were approaching a dhaba which had been destroyed by a JKLF bomb only minutes before. As they passed, a head rolled out of the smoldering ruins and across the pavement before them. Pandaa stooped, picked it up and held it up for Pandey to see.
"Look here, Pandey, isn't this Dubey?"

Panda asks him, "Are you all right, Pandey? It was not all my fault!" Then Pandey responds, "I am a little shaken." Panda pulls a flask of whiskey from his bag and says, "Here, drink some of this it will calm your nerves." Pandey takes the flask and drinks it down and says, "Well, what are we going to tell the police?" "Well," Panda says, "I don't know what you will say, but I will tell them I was not the one drinking alcohol."

Visit to Doctor

One day Mrs. Pandey feels sickly and goes to the doctor for a check-up. The doctor looks her over and says, "Well now, Mrs. Pandey. I cannot tell what your illness is. You have to bring a urine specimen to me in the morning I can tell exactly what's wrong."
Mrs. Pandey went home and said to her husband, "The doctor wants me to bring him a urine specimen in the morning. I don't know what a urine specimen is, what am I to do?"
Mr. Pandey replied, "I don't know, but if you go see Mrs. Panda, she'll know what to do."
Mrs. Pandey then went down the road to Mrs. Panda's house and returned a few minutes later with her clothes torn, a black eye, bruises all over her body, and her hair tangled like a bird nest.
A shocked Mr. Pandey gasped, "Sala! What happened to you?"
"I went to see Mrs. Panda and asked her what a urine specimen is and she said 'Piss in a bottle, woman.' So, I said 'Go drink your own piss!' And the fight was on."

Diamond Gift

'I don't know,' said Panda, 'but there must be millions!'

Defence of Delhi

Panda and Pandey were walking along the New Delhi road. "This Delhi, it is a bad place to be. Pakistani and Chinese rockets can hit at any time and no defence too!" reasoned Panda.
'It was bad, until now,' said Pandey. 'Now of course they've found the answer. That's it up in the sky - big balloons!' Pandey pointed to the massive inflated objects hovering over the city on guide wires.
'You see,' he explained, 'the Pakistani and Chinese planes and rockets come over and bump into the balloons and are destroyed.'
'But surely,' argued Panda, 'when the planes hit them the balloons will burst.'
'Indeed not,' said Pandey. 'You see, the balloons must be full of concrete.'

New Ambassador

Pandey had bought a new Ambassador car and was taking his friend Pandaa for a ride. As they sped along the road, Pandey said:
"He Pandaa! What is that thing sticking up in the front of the car?'
Pandaa, realising he meant the Ambassador logo in the middle of the bonnet, decided to have some fun.
'Ah that,' he said, 'that is a target!'
`Target?' said Pandey. `Target for what?'
'Well,' replied Pandaa. 'It helps to line up policemen who are crossing the road on pedestrian crossings!'
'Not true!' spluttered Pandey.
`It is,' said Pandaa. 'Just wait and I'll show you.'
Just then a policeman started to cross the road and Panda drove the car straight at him. At the very last second he flicked the wheel over and swerved round the constable.
'See what I mean? Almost his that *kanstable*!' he grinned. 'Good, eh?'
'No, not good,' said Pandey. 'If I had not opened the back door we would not have hit him at all!'

Revolving Chair

"This cow is not saying anything!" said Pandaa one day after studying his cows.
Replied Pandeey, "Put it in a revolving chair. Then we will know, what the *chakkar* (wheel) is. *Isse revolving chair pe bitha do, tho pataa hoga ye chakkar kya hai*."

They Look Just like Us

Panda and Pandey sat in the corner of the dhaba, intoxicated from their usual dose of bhang. Across the wall opposite was a huge mirror, stretching from floor to ceiling.
Glancing around the room Pandey suddenly spotted their reflection in the mirror.
'Panda, Panda,' he whispered. 'Don't look now but there's two guys over there just like us!'
'He Rama,' said Panda, spotting the reflection. 'They're wearing the same clothes and everything.'
'Sale! They even copied our dress!' said Pandey. 'I'm going to give them a thrashing.'
But as Pandey started to rise from his seat, Panda said, 'Sit down Pandey one of them is coming to us!'

Can I have an ice cream?

'No!' said Pandey, 'It's too cold for ice cream.'
'Can I have one if I put my coat on?' persisted the child.

Half-Price Tickets

Panda and Pandey wanted to see the India vs. Pakistan cricket match. Walking along, Panda asked Pandey, "Why you wearing a patch over your eye?" "You'll see," said Pandey, approaching the ticket counter.
'How much is it?' asked Pandey at the ticket counter.
"Twenty rupees,' said the ticket seller.
'Well, I've only got one eye and so I'm only paying ten!' Pandey said, pointing to the eye-patch he was wearing. And, surprisingly, the man let him in.
'And I'm only paying ten pounds,' said Panda
'Stop there,' said the guard, 'you've got two eyes!'
'Yes,' said Panda, 'but I've only come to see India.'

Pandey replied, "He bit it himself, Your Honour."

I did remember

"Fine," said Panda as he went to the toilet while Pande sat on his cow.
After a short while, Panda returned.

"What strange bhang glasses are these?" Panda asked in disbelief. "The tops are closed! How are you supposed to fill them with bhang?"

"Even if you do open the glass," replied Pande, studying another glass. "How will the bhang stay in the glass if the bottom is open?"

Hanging from the Roof

Kasparov: "How would you like to play me for 500 Rs. ?"
Pande: "But you are too good - you will beat me and I will lose my money!".
Gary: "How about if I play left-handed"?
"Then I might have a chance," thought Pande and he accepted the offer. Kasparov checkmated our Panditji in 4 moves.
Pande was still scratching his head as he left the airplane. Upon reaching Mathura, Pande told Panda about the game he had with Kasparov.
Panda: "*Tu bhi pura buddhu hai, Pande*". (You're an absolute fool, Pande)

Letter to Pande

Dear Pande,

I'm writing this real slow cause I know you can't read very fast. We don't live where we did when you left. We read in the paper that most accidents happen within 10 miles of home, so we moved. I won't be able to send you our new address cause the last family that lived here took the house numbers with them so they wouldn't have to change their address. This place has a washing machine. The first day mama put four shirts in, pulled the chain and we have not seen them since. Its only rained here twice this week. three days the first time and five days the second time. I know its cold where you are so we're sending you a coat. Ma said it would be too heavy to mail with them buttons on it, so we cut them off and put them in the pockets.

My sister had a baby this morning. I haven't heard whether it's a boy or a girl, so I don't know if I'm an uncle or an aunt. Uncle Sharma fell in the big whiskey vat. When they tried to pull him out, he fought them off, so he drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.

Your Friend Panda, from Mathura.
P.S : I was planning to enclose the money that I owe you with this envelope, but I had already sealed this by then.

Car Keys

One day Panda was chiding Pande for leaving his keys inside the car. `If I take them out of the car I lose them,' Pande reasoned.
`Yes, Pande, but what if someone steals your car?' Panda countered.
`Oh, that is okay,' Pande chirped happily. `I keep a spare key in the glove box!

Pundit Atul Bajpai and his family were waiting at the airport for their flight to New York. Wandering around the port, Bajpai came across a Vedic Astrology Machine. Trying it out, he shoved in a one-rupee coin. "You are Atul Bajpai and you are travelling by flight no. IA-314 to New York with your wife and kids." the machine replied. "See? How advanced! A Vedic Astrology Machine which works!" Bajpai exclaimed in delight and immediately went to show it to his family. One of his sons stood on the machine, and - lo and behold - the machine replied, "You are Ranjan Bajpai and you are the son of Atul Bajpai. You are travelling by flight no. IA-314 to New York with your wife and kids."

At this, Atul stood on the machine to demonstrate it to his wife. "You are Atul Bajpai and you have missed your flight no. IA-314 to New York with your wife and kids."

Bajpai's Son Knows a Lot

Once, Ranjan's mother told him, "If you eat too many chocolates, your stomach will become very big!" Later, Ranjan saw a pregnant lady and said, "I know what you have done!"

Bajpai and Ranjan

Once, Atul was having an argument with his son Ranjan, who was arguing that children were smarter than their parents. "Who discovered the steam engine?" Ranjan asked. "Why, James Watt." replied Atul. "Why not his father?" asked Ranjan, smiling.

Buying Tickets

Once, Atul Bajpai went to the movie hall to watch a movie. However, after going towards the hall, he kept on returning to the sales counter to buy a ticket. After three times, the salesman asked Atul, "Why do you keep on coming back and buying a new ticket?" Then Atul replied, "There is some idiot at the entrance who keeps on tearing up my ticket!"

Bajpai's Hotel

Bajpai was employed by the Taj Hotels of Mumbai. Once a complaint came to him that the towel was dirty. "Ludicrous. The same towel has been used by ten persons before you and none of them had any complaints!" was his reply.

Sending a Sweater

Once Bajpai had to go to the US for work relating to the Indian Union embassy. Just before December, he received a package from his wife. Opening it, he found she had knit him a sweater, but the buttons were strangely placed in the left pocket. He then discovered a note attached: "I am sending you a sweater to keep you warm during the winter. As the buttons would have added to the weight of the sweater and so increased the cost of transport, I have taken them out and put them in the left pocket so that we can save on postal charges."

House for Sale

Bajpai was selling his house, and put the matter in a real estate agent's hands. The agent wrote up a sales advertisement for the house that made wonderful reading. After Bajpai read it, he turned to the agent and asked,
"Have I got all you say here?"
The agent said, "Certainly you have...Why do you ask?"
Replied Bajpai, "Cancel the sale...this is too good to sell."

Travel Time

Pandit Bajpai gets on a bus and asks the conductor, "How lang ees the trip from Calcutta to Benaras, Kandaktar-Sahb?"
"About 8 hours," says the conductor.
"Okay," says Bajpai. "Then how lang ees the trip between Benaras and Calcutta?"
The irate conductor says to Bajpai, "It's still about 8 hours, man. Why do you think there will be a difference?"
"Well," says Bajpai, "Only 18 days after Dussera comes Diwali, but it's a very long time after Diwali that Dussera comes!"

Stuck in the Store

`Just follow the instructions written on the doors,' the guard told Bajpai, fresh from Braj-bhumi to a Delhi shop. Awe-struck, Bajpai made his way around the building. But soon he returned, dejected, to the security man.
'I tried my best. The door marked 'Push' I pushed. The door marked 'Pull' I pulled. But when I got to the big door that said 'Lift' -I couldn't get it off the floor!'

Mango Pie

Bajpai was carrying home a mango and the recipe for mango pie. Suddenly a bird of prey swooped down and snatched the mango from his hand. As the bird flew off, Bajpai called after it, "Foolish bird! You have the mango, but what can you do with it without the recipe?"

Borrowing Cows

A neighbour came to Pundit Bajpai, asking to borrow his cow. "It is out on loan," the Pundit replied. At that moment, the cow snorted loudly inside the stable. "But I can hear it snort, over there." "Whom do you believe," asked Bajpai, "me or a cow?"

First Visit

Bajpai walked into a shop one day, and the owner came forward to serve him. Bajpai said, "First things first. Did you see me walk into your shop?" "Of course." "Have you ever seen me before?" "Never." "Then how do you know it was me?"

Believe a Wise Man or a Cow

Pandit Bajpai had an insatiable craving for knowledge, but did not seem to know what knowledge was. As a result he asked a local wise man the stupidest questions, always based upon random assumptions One day the pandit a noticed that his cow was missing. He ran to the wise man
'Well, Pandit, what is it this time?'
'My cow is gone! Where can I find it?'
The wise man was quite fed up with the Pandit. 'Bajpai,' he said, 'the cow has run off, turned into a man and been appointed the magistrate in the next town.'
Thanking the wise man for his information, the Pandit trudged to the court. There sat the magistrate, and Bajpai shook his fist at him: 'Come home at once, you foolish animal!'
The magistrate was furious. 'Who are you and how dare you talk to me like that? I'll have you sent to the cells!'
'I'm the well-known Pandit Bajpai, and I have it on the best authority that you are my cow.'
'That's ridiculous. Nobody in his right senses would credit such a thing!'
Bajpai drew himself up to his full height. 'Say what you like he said, 'I prefer to believe the statement of a wise man rather than that of a cow.'

Throwing out Hats

Atul Bajpai once sat in a train opposite a Dalit. Angered at the low-caste man, Bajpai threw out the hat of a Dalit when the latter had gone to the toilet. The Dalit saw what Bajpai had done, but kept quiet. When Bajpai had to go to the toilet, he returned to find his coat had gone.
"Where is my coat?" shouted Pundit Bajpai.
"It has gone to get my hat," replied the Dalit man.

Deeper Meaning

Pandit Bajpai and a party of his friends went to listen to an address by a Sadhu who was visiting his town to talk to a group of the Sadhu's own disciples. The visitor gave a long speech, and everyone listened respect-fully; though Bajpai's friends could make neither head nor tail of it. Walking home, one of his companions said, 'Pandit, what was he talking about?' 'Ah,' said Bajpai, 'if he wouldn't tell, neither shall I!'

Hands Full

One day Bajpai went on a journey, his steps taking him across a dangerous, bandit-infested valley. He carried, for protection, a gun in one hand and a sword in the other. Half-way across the valley, a robber stopped him, went through his pockets and ran off with his valuables. 'Ah,' said Pandit Bajpai, 'If I hadn't had my hands full, the fellow would never have got away with it.'

Sitting at Crossroads

"Why are you sitting at the crossroad, Pandit?" "One day something will happen here, and a crowd will gather. When that comes about, I may not be able to get close enough-so I'm putting in my time now."

Speeding Cow

Bajpai was riding along one day when his cow took fright at something in its path and started to bolt. As he sped past them at an unaccustomed pace some countrymen called out: 'Where are you going,O Bajpai, so fast?' 'Pandit shouted, 'don't ask me, ask my cow!"

Facing things alone

'You may have lost you cow, Pandith, but you don't have to grieve over it more than you did about the loss of your first wife.'

Drying Flour

The Pandit's neighbor wanted to borrow his cloth-line. Bajpai said 'Sorry, I'm using it'. Drying flour!' The neighbor said, 'How on earth can you dry flour on a clothes-line?' Pandith replied, 'It is less difficult than you think when you do not want to lend it.'

Truth

'What is truth?' a disciple asked Bajpai. 'Something which I have never, at any time, spoken-nor shall I.'

Apples

Bajpai's friend was ill. The doctor was called. "What are the symptoms?"
"Stomach cramps!" said the patient.
The doctor looked under the bed where a whole bunch of apple cores were.
"The cramps will pass but cut down your consumption of green apples."
Bajpai was most impressed. When a similar case occurred he barged in,
"What are the symptoms?" asked Bajpai.
"Stomach cramps!" said the patient.
Bajpai looked under the bed.
"The cramps will pass," said Bajpai, "but cut down your consumption of old shoes . . ."

Eaten Dog

Bajpai, ventured into a biker bar in the Bronx and clearing his throat asked, "Um, err, which of you gentlemen owns the Doberman tied outside to the parking meter?"
A giant of a man, wearing biker leathers, his body hair growing out through the seams, turned slowly on his stool, looked down at the quivering Bajpai and said, "It's my dog. Why?" "Well," squeaked Bajpai, obviously very nervous, "I believe my dog just killed it, sir." "What?" roared the big man in disbelief. "What kind of dog do you have?"
"Sir," answered Bajpai, "It's a four week old puppy." "Nonsense!" roared the biker, "How could your puppy kill my Doberman?"
"It appears that he choked on it, sir."

According to Needs

As Bajpai emerged from the mandir after prayers, a beggar sitting on the street solicited alms. The following conversation ensued: "Are you extravagant?"
"Yes", replied the beggar.
"Do you like sitting around drinking coffee and smoking?", asked Bajpai.
"Yes", replied the beggar.
"I suppose you like to go to the public baths everyday?", Bajpai asked.
"Yes", replied the beggar.
"...And maybe even amuse yourself by drinking with friends?", questioned Bajpai.
"Oh, yes, I like all those things", replied the beggar.
Bajpai then reached into his pocket and gave him a gold piece. A few yards farther on, another beggar who had overheard the conversation begged for alms also.
"Are you extravagant?", Bajpai queried.
"No", replied second beggar.
"Do you like sitting around drinking coffee and smoking?", asked Bajpai.
"No", replied second beggar.
"I suppose you like to go to the baths everyday?", Bajpai asked. "No", replied second beggar.
"How about amusing yourself by drinking with friends?" asked Bajpai.
"No, I want only to live meagerly and pray", replied second beggar. Upon hearing this, Bajpai reached into his pocket and gave the second beggar a small copper coin.
"But why", wailed the second beggar, "do you give me, an economical and pious man, a penny, when you give that extravagant fellow a gold piece?"
"Ah, my friend", replied Bajpai, "his needs are greater than yours."

Profound Answers

Bajpai opened up a small concession stand. It had a sign that read: I'll answer any 2 questions. About anything. Only 5 dollars.
A man handed over the money and said, "This is rather steep, isn't it..?"
"Yes", said Bajpai. "Now..what is your second question..?"

Garden Thief

One day Bajpai, tempted by the fruit in a neighbouring garden, used a ladder to climb onto the garden wall, then pulling the ladder up and over, climbed down into the garden. Somewhere nearby stood the amazed gardener, whom Bajpai had failed to notice.
The gardener hurrying over to Bajpai said in a threatening tone, "And what do you think you are doing here?"
"Why, I am selling this ladder", he said.
"Look here, Bajpai! Whom do you think you are fooling? Does this garden look like the proper place to sell a ladder in?", the gardener said.
"Now, now, my good man! Let's not forget our manners. You needn't buy the ladder if you don't want it; but it belongs to me and I can sell it where I please!"
So saying Bajpai went back over the wall and away with his ladder.

Bakery

"Where are all the cakes?" asked Bajpai.
"I was wondering myself," said the customer. "You are the baker and it is your shop . . ."

Last Word

Bajpai was explaining how he was the 'boss' in his household.
"I always get the last word," said Bajpai. "My wife tells me to do something and I say, 'Okay'."

Riding the Cow Backwards

One day Bajpai was riding his cow backwards (facing towards the back).
The people called out to him saying, "Hey, you are sitting on your cow backwards!"
"No", he replied, "It's not that I am sitting on the cow backwards, the cow's facing the wrong way."

Old Creditor

Bajpai opened the door after hearing many, many knocks, to find his old creditor asking for his money back.
"Soon", said Bajpai, "I will pay your money back soon." "When?", asked the man.
"Listen...I sowed the thorn seeds in the street, along our wall," explained Bajpai. "And?", queried the creditor. "And the seed will flourish and we shall have plenty of thorns in the spring." "Yes, no doubt! Then?" asked the creditor.
"Many flocks of sheep pass along this street. In passing, they will leave some of their wool on the thorns. I will collect the wool and my wife will spin it into yarn. Then, the rest is easy! I will sell the yarn on the market and pay your money back.", said Bajpai. The man burst into laughter at this ridiculous plan. Then Bajpai said:
"Now that you have felt the cash in your hand you can afford to laugh, can't you, you rascal!"

Christian Way

Bajpai wife writes of her stay in a Western country:

"The other day I went to the local religious book store where I saw a "Honk If You Love Jesus" bumper sticker. I bought it and put it on the back bumper of my car, and l'm really glad I did. What an uplifting experience followed.
I was stopped at the light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord, and didn't notice that the light had changed.
That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of people who love Jesus. Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy. He must really love the Lord because pretty soon, he leaned out his window and yelled, "Jesus Christ!!" as loud as he could. It was like a football game with him shouting, "Go Jesus Christ, Go!!!" Everyone else started honking, too, so I leaned out my window and waved and smiled to all of those loving people.
There must have been a guy from Florida back there because I could hear him yelling something about a sunny beach, and I saw him waving a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my two passengers what that meant. They kind of squirmed, looked at each other, giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian good luck sign. So, I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. Several cars behind, a very nice Chinese man stepped out of his car and yelled something. I couldn't hear him very well but it sounded like "mother trucker" or "mothers from there". Maybe he was from Florida, too. He must really love the Lord.
A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and were walking towards me. I bet they wanted to pray, but just then I noticed that the light had changed, and I stepped on the gas.
And a good thing I did, because I was the only driver to get across the intersection. I looked back at them standing there. I leaned out the window, gave them a big smile and held up the Hawaiian good luck sign, as I drove away.

Backwards on His Cow

One day Bajpai was riding his cow backwards (facing towards the back).
The people said, "Hey, you're sitting on your cow backwards!"
"No", he replied, "My friend here wanted to go one way and I wanted to go the other, so we are compromising."

Nastik Heresy

Pundit Bajpai was once called to pontificate on the 'Nature of God' in the local temple. Present where the many sadhus and acharyas of the Hindu law. Out of courtesy and because Bajpai could not be counted on saying anything worthwhile, these illustrious guests explained and inspired the audience with their eloquence and wisdom.
Finally it was Bajpai's turn to explain 'the Nature of God'. "God . . .", started Bajpai impressively "is . . ." Bajpai removed and held up an ovoid mauve vegetable from the folds of his dhoti, " . . . a mango."
There was uproar at this blasphemy. When order was finally established, Bajpai was reluctantly asked to explain his words. "I conclude that everyone has spoken of what they do not know or have not seen. We can all see this mango. Is there anyone who can deny that God is manifest in all things?"
Nobody could.
"Very well," said Bajpai, "God is a mango."

Reading email

Bajpai was reading his email.
"I can not believe it. People are so lazy," thought Bajpai.
"Nobody has bothered to send any jokes about me . . ."

Tossing Coins

"Let us toss a coin and see who is right Bajpai?"
"Certainly," said Bajpai. "Head's I win, tails you lose."

Drilling Holes

One day Pundit Bajpai, loaded with a box of tools, decided to take a ferry across a deep stretch of water to a neighboring town. Halfway across, Bajpai started to busily drill a hole in the hull of the boat just beneath his feet.
The other passengers, seeing Bajpai drilling, yelled, "Hey! Stop that! Cut that out!"
Bajpai, somewhat upset at being interrupted, answered, "Mind your own business. What is it to you anyway? I'm drilling under my feet, not yours."

Heroic stories

One day, Bajpai sat at end of the dhabha listening to the heroic war stories of the soldiers. They told of Stealth bomber missions, intelligent missile systems, of deep zone drops, of surviving suicide runs. Bajpai suddenly smiled and stood tall.
"I once saved over 200 men single handedly during a very important mission!" he said.
"Incredible! How on earth did you do that?"
Replied Bajpai, "I accidentally shot the cook."

Instrumentalist

A crowd of people had gathered (as crowds usually do) and someone asked Bajpai if he knew how to play the guitar.
"Yes, I do", answered Bajpai. And the people give Bajpai a guitar so he could prove it. Bajpai began to play. DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING.... Bajpai played the same note - the same string - over and over. DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING....
After a few minutes of this, the people stopped Bajpai. "Bajpai, this is not the correct way of playing the guitar, you're playing the same note over and over. Guitar players move their fingers up and down, playing different strings!", the crowd exclaimed.
"Well, I know why they go up and down and try different strings." "Why is that?", the crowd asked. "They're looking for *THIS* note that I have already found...", answered Bajpai.

Scared of Wife

Bajpai attended a meeting of all the men in his village to hear someone speak to the men. After the meeting had been called to order and the men were standing waiting quietly, the leader of the meeting said,
"All those men who are afraid of their wives sit down." All the men sat down except Bajpai, who remained standing.
"It seems", said the leader, "that you and I are the only real men in this village."
"Not at all," said Bajpai, "I'm still too sore from the beating my wife gave me last night to sit down."

Falling with Dignity

Bajpai was walking with his friends when he slipped and fell on his back. They began to laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" enquired Bajpai, "when I decide to take a rest, not even the ground or dignity stand in my way."

Simple Answers

"Bajpai, why do you never give a simple answer to a simple question?"
"Simple," said Bajpai, "I do not wish to remain simple."

Sent Home

One day, when yet a young boy, Bajpai was sent home from school. His father questioned him:
"What did you do?"
"A bully grabbed me by the shoulders and pushed me into the lockers then lifted me off the ground by my shirt, so I kicked him."
"How long are you on suspension?"
"Three days."
"How long was the bully suspended for? more I suppose because he hurt you first?"
"No, he wasn't suspended at all."
"What? Why not?"
"They don't suspend principals," replied Bajpai with a smile.

Profound Realisation

Bajpai decided to practice Buddhism. After some time he rushed into his meditation class.
"I have had a profound realisation," he informed them. "What is it?" they asked without much expectation being used to such outbursts.
"Never Mind," said Bajpai.

Dead or Alive?

Bajpai was thinking aloud. "How do I know whether I am dead or alive?"
"Don't be such a fool," his wife said; "if you were dead your limbs would be cold. Now, go to the forest and cut some wood." It was midwinter. As Bajpai was in the forest cutting wood, he realized that his hands and feet were cold.
"I am undoubtedly dead," he thought; "so I must stop working, because corpses do not work."
And, because corpses do not walk about, he lay down on the grass. Soon, a pack of wolves appeared and started to attack Bajpai's cow, which was tethered to a tree.
"Yes, carry on, take advantage of a dead man," said Bajpai from his prone position; "but if I had been alive, I would not have allowed you to take liberties with my cow."

The Race

Yes. Bajpai was on his cow and he was riding out of town, and his student saw him and he said, "Where are you going, old man?" And Bajpai just kind of grinned at him and rode on by. So the student says, "Oh, I know he's up to something! I'll catch him this time!" He jumped on a cow and started going after him. Bajpai looked back, saw him, and thought, "Ah!" So he kicked his cow and the cow started trotting, and the student thought, "I knew it!" and he kicked his cow. So Bajpai takes a shortcut across the rice field, and he jumps off his cow and gets down behind a bush, and he's hiding down there, and the student jumps off and he runs over, and he's very upset. What is his teacher doing hiding down there? And he says, "Why are you running away?" And Bajpai says, "Well, why are you chasing me?"

Galloping on His Cow

The great and venerable Brahman sage, Pundit Bajpai, once raced through Mathura on his cow, galloping as fast as the poor beast could travel. Everybody got excited and people rushed into the streets to find out why the philosopher was in such a great hurry.
"What are you looking for, Panditji?" somebody shouted.
"I'm looking for my cow!" Bajpai answered.

Ace Brahmin Smuggler

Pundit Bajpai used to take his cow across the Nepali border every day, with the sacks loaded with straw. He was becoming visibly more prosperous, and the frontier guards searched him again and again, suspecting him of smuggling. They searched his person, sifted the straw, steeped it in water and even burned it from time to time. When he retired he went to live in another country, where one of the customs officers met him, years later. "You can tell me now, Bajpai, whatever was it that you were smuggling when we could never catch you?" "Cows", said Bajpai.

Happy when the Cow is Lost

One day, Bajpai lost his cow and was looking everywhere for it. While he was searching, he was constantly praising God. "Why are you praising God if you've lost your cow?", someone asked. "I thank God that I was not on it when it disappeared", he replied.

The high cost of learning

Bajpai decided that he could benefit by learning something new. He went to see a master musician. `How much do you charge to teach lute-playing?' `Three rupees for the first month; after that, one rupee a month.` `Excellent!' said Bajpai. `I shall begin with the second month.'

Bajpai saves the Moon

Bajpai was walking past a well, when he had the impulse to look into it. It was night, and as he peered into the deep water, he saw the Moons reflection there. `I must save the Moon!' the Pandit thought. `Otherwise she will never be eaten by Rahu and Ketu, and Rahu and Ketu will die!' He found a rope, threw it in and called down: `Hold tight; keep bright; succour is at hand!' The rope caught in a rock inside the well, and Bajpai heaved as hard as he could. Straining back, he suddenly felt the rope give as it came loose, and he was thrown on his back. As he lay there, panting, he saw the Moon riding in the sky above. `Glad to be of service,' said Bajpai. `See how I saved you?'

Flashlight

`I can see in the dark,' boasted Bajpai one day in the dhaba.
`If that is so, why do we sometimes see you carrying a flashlight through the streets?'
`Only to prevent other people from colliding with me.'

Fixed Age

`How old are you, Bajpai?`
`Forty.`
`But you said the same last time I asked you, two years ago!'
`Yes, I always stand by what I have said.'

Why Cows have No Wings

`Daily,' said Bajpai to his wife, `I become more amazed at the manner in which nature is organized; and the way in which everything upon this earth is in some way planned for the benefit of mankind.' She asked for an example. `Well, for instance, you note that cows have no wings, by the mercy of Providence.' `How does that help us?` `Dont you see? If they had wings they might roost on housetops, and destroy the roofs, to say nothing of the noise and the nuisance of their chewing and spitting their cud!' replied Bajpai.

Exchanging Goods for the Same Value

Bajpai went into a shop to buy a pair of trousers. Then he changed his mind and chose a cloak instead, at the same price. Picking up the cloak he left the shop. `You have not paid,' shouted the merchant. `I left you the trousers, which were of the same value as the cloak.' `But you did not pay for the trousers either.' `Of course not,' said Bajpai - `why should I pay for something that I did not want to buy?'

Strange that you should ask ...

Bajpai climbed into someone's kitchen garden and started filling a sack with everything that he could lay his hands on. A gardener saw him and came running. "What are you doing here?" "I was blown here by a high wind." replied Bajpai. "And who uprooted the vegetables? I caught hold of them to stop myself being swept along." "And how does it come that there are vegetables in that sack?" "That is just what I was wondering about when you interrupted me!"

Teaching Sanskrit

Hearing that a man wanted to learn the Sanskrit language, Bajpai offered to teach him. Bajpai's own knowlege of Sanskrit was limited to a few words.

`We shall start with the word for "Hot Water",' said Bajpai. `In Sanskrit, this is *pani*.' "I dont quite understand, Bajpai. How would you say "Cold Water"?' `You never say "Cold Water". The Brahmins like their water hot.'

No Worry

Bajpai's cow was lost. Everyone helped him to search the neighbourhood. Someone said: You dont seem at all worried. You realize, do you not, that your cow may never be found? Bajpai said: You see that hill, yonder? Nobody has looked there yet. If they dont find it there, then I'll start worrying.

Rupee Less to Pay

Sitting near some stepping-stones across a river, Bajpai saw that ten blind men wanted to cross the stream. He offered to help them over for a rupee each. They accepted and he started to take them across. Nine were safely delivered to the further bank. But, as he was making his way with the tenth, the unfortunate man tripped and was carried away by the flood. Sensing something amiss the nine survivors began calling out: "What happened, Bajpai?"
"A rupee less to pay," said Bajpai.

Handsome Prince Bajpai

Seeing something glittering in the gutter, Bajpai ran to pick it up. It was a metal mirror. Looking at it closely, he saw his face reflected in it. "No wonder it was thrown away - nothing as ugly as this could possibly appeal to anyone. The fault is in me, for I picked it up without reasoning that it must be something unpleasant," he said

Lost Bajpai

Once, Pandit Bajpai had lost his way in the jungle. `O No, I have lost my way, and soon I will die of hunger.' So he lay down on the forest floor. After a while a group of hunters accosted him. `What happened to you?' `I have lost my way, and soon I will die of hunger,' he wailed.

Mishra had got a job felling trees. And he was paid by results. They gave him an electric saw and off into the forest he went. At sunset Mishra returned with the other loggers and they counted their trees.
'I got ninety-eight,' said Majhi.
'Ninety-one,' added Dombi.
'I only got sixteen,' said Mishra.
'Well, I can't understand that,' said the boss. 'Maybe your saw is defective. Pass it here.'
The boss pulled the starting rope and the saw burst into life.
'My God,' said Mishra, 'what's that noise?'

Cutting Trees

A Brahmin once wanted to cut some wild and thick bamboos growing in his garden. Unfortunately, the local Dalit bamboo cutters had gone on strike. The Brahmin tries to cut the bamboos with his sickle, but finds it is taking too long and goes to a shop. The salesman offers him a motor-saw which can easily cut one hundred bamboo canes in one day. The Brahmin is impressed, but returns after two days, angry. `This motor-saw is not working!' he shouted. The salesman picked up the motor saw and said, `Let me see!' and started the motor. Rmmmm. The Brahmin: `What kind of a sound is that ?'

Honest Thief

The police caught Panditji as he was robbing a house. Standing in front of the judge in the courtroom, the judge asks him if he had an accomplice. `No, Your Honour,' he replied. `I have no accomplices. In this yuga, there are so many dishonest people that I have to work alone.'

Selling the Cow

A Pandu returned home one day, very happy and with a big smile on his face. `Just imagine, I sold my cow for ten thousand rupees today!' His delighted wife asked, `Very good, did you bring home: coins or notes?' `Neither! I got two dogs worth Rs. five thousand each!'

Genius Brahman Calculator

A genius Panditji fast-calculator once appeared on a television show. The moderator of the show asked him, `Here we have a heap of ants. How many ants are there in the heap?' Without hesitating, Panditji replied, `2983' Astonished, the moderator asked, `How did you find the answer so quickly?' To which Panditji replied, `If you doubt me, why don't you count and see for yourself'

Pony Ride

Panditji was seated upon a pony in a reverse position, with his back towards the pony's mouth as it trots about the city. His friends wondered, and asked him why he is doing this. He replied, `The dumb pony ate a one-rupee coin!'

Combs

Two Brahmins meet on the road. `How are you?' `Very bad. I have to buy a new comb. One of the prongs of my old comb broke off.' `You don't need to buy a new comb just because one prong broke off!' `It was the last prong!'

Working in the Zoo

Times were tough. The recession had really bitten and jobs were scarce. Pandey had tried everything, manual labour, waiting on tables, window cleaning. Each job just seemed to melt away and now he was desperate. Then he noticed an ad in the evening paper. 'Help needed urgently at Calcutta Zoo.'
'Who cares what the work is,' thought Pandey. `I will have a try.'
'Well, Mr Pandey,' said the head keeper, I'll tell you the truth. We're desperately short of animals anyway, and now the gorilla has gone down with the flu. We're looking for someone to dress up in a gorilla outfit and bounce around the cage.'
`I'm your man,' said Pandey. I'm your man.'
So terms were agreed - Rs.100 per week and all the bananas that Pandey could eat, and Pandey set off with a wail.
All morning he bounded around the cage, swinging from trees, bellowing and charging at the people on the other side of the bars. But if the morning went well, the afternoon was a disaster. Having feasted on five pounds of bananas, Pandey decided to do a little bouncing up and down. Second bounce he landed on a loose floorboard and crashed through the cage bottom into a lower cage full of lions.
'My God, help me,' screamed Pandey, starting to rip off the gorilla skin.
'Shut your mouth,' said the nearest lion, 'or you'll get us all the sack!'

Pole Height

Sharma was seen trying to shin up a huge telephone pole, and having little success.
'What's the problem?' asked Shukla.
'The boss wants me to measure this pole,' said Sharma.
'Well, to save yourself the effort why don't you lay the pole down?' Shukla said.
'No good,' reasoned Sharma. 'He wants the height not the length.'

Ladders

Have you any work for me, sir?' inquired Sharma of the foreman.
'You can help that gang in the trench over there.'
Over went Sharma to the trench and jumped in, falling 15 feet.
'Why didn't you use the ladder?' shouted the boss.
'I thought they were for going up!' cried Sharma.

Trench work

'You guys in the trench,' shouted the foreman. 'Can you climb out a minute.'
And out they clambered.
'Stamp your feet as hard as you can,' he ordered. And they did.
'Now jump back into the trench, then jump out and stamp your feet again.'
'Excuse me, saar,' muttered Trivedi, 'would this be some kind of ritual or such like?'
'No,' said the boss, 'you're bringing out more soil with your boots than you are with your shovels!'

Half-Weight

Off our hero duly sped with dozens of bricks in his head, 20 feet up a ladder to the first level and then across a narrow plankway. The foreman suddenly realised that Pande was hopping along on one foot.
'Hey, why are you hopping on one foot?' called the boss to Pande.
'I don't think this plank will take my full weight,' cried Pande, `But it can take one-half of my weight!' he said, hopping along.

Wedding Car

The wedding car had been hired from Sharma's Garange. It was a strange machine.
One previous owner - Shankaracharya.
So old the log book was in Sanskrit.
But worst of all it was extremely demanding on oil and petrol. In its time apparently it leaked that much oil that Arabs were known to have made a bid for the ground it stood on!
But petrol was worse - one kilometer liter at the most. So bad was it that Sharma had pulled into a self-service filling station and stood pumping gas for at least half an hour. Eventually the attendant came out and said to Sharma: 'You'll have to switch off your engine - you're catching up with us!'

'Caught you!' said Policeman Mishra. 'Poaching in the river my boy is a serious offence. I must ask you to accompany me to the station.'
Halfway out of the wood Pandey the poacher pulled up in his tracks.
'Ram!' said he, 'haven't I left my jacket by the water's edge. I'll have to go back and get it!'
'No way,' said Mishra. 'If I let you go back you'll run off. I've got a better idea. You wait here and I'll go back for the coat!'

Same Fishing Spot

The Mishra twins had never known the likes before. Only two hours fishing and already the boat was full to overflowing with mackerel.
'Begod, we've struck a rare spot here,' said Atul. 'We must somehow try to remember this exact location for future reference.'
'Why don't we put an 'x' on the back of the boat so we'll know it exactly?' ventured Vikram.
'No good,' said his brother. 'We may not get the same boat next time!'

Lord Rama

Pande walked into the church and spotted a man sitting cross-legged on the altar.
'My son,' said the holy man, 'what are you doing? Who are you?'
'I'm God,' said the stranger. 'Pardon?'
`I'm God,' he repeated. 'This is my house!' Pandey ran into the temple reception hall and, in total panic, rang the Acharya.
'Your reverence,' said he, 'I hate to trouble you, but there's a man sat on my altar who claims he's God. What'll he do?'
`Take no chances,' said the Acharya. 'Go back to the mandir and look busy!'

Diving

Panda and Pande stood on the deck of the submarine when the order rang out:

Brahmin Custom

A Rajput, Havildar Singh, asks his long-time Brahmin friend, Ashutosh Sharma, " Panditji, I have heard that in Brahmin families, the mother has intercourse with the son, and the father with the daughter, in the manner of Brahma and Sarasvati of the Vedas. Is that true? "
Panditji replied, " You are only two-thirds correct! "
Asked the Rajput, " How so? "
Whereupon Panditji replied, " The Son also has intercourse with the Sister, like Pushan and his Sister. "

Mister Nene was occupying the lower berth, his wife the middle berth and his son the top-most berth of the train. At one of the stops the son and father got off to buy some cold drinks. When they returned, they found a black Telugu who couldn't understand Marathi or Hindi, lying in the son's berth, the top-most one. Outraged, Mister Nene called the ticket collector. The ticket collector who was a Gujju said that he could not understand Hindi, Marathi or Telugu, so he asked Mr. Nene to explain the situation in English. Thus Mr. Nene explained, `That man sleeping on top of my wife is not giving birth to my child!'

The Walk

A young Brahmin walks with his girl along the grass field of his father. Just in front of them, a bull is mounting a cow. He then whispers into her ear, `I would also like to do that now!' She replies, `Of course you can! They are your cows!'

Genie in the Bottle

Pandey was walking home, when suddenly he stumbled on a magic lamp. He rubbed the lamp, and out came a Muslim jinni [genie]. The genie told Prandey he could make three wishes, but that he would give twice the same thing to his worst enemy.

Pandey immediately thought about his annoying neighbor. Then he asked the genie for a big mountain of gold. Poof--there was a big mountain of gold on his backyard. He looked at the other side of the street, and his neighbor had two big mountains of gold.

Then he asked the genie for the ten most beautiful women the genie could think of. Poof--there were in front of him ten statuesque supermodels. He looked at the other side of the street, and his neighbor had twenty superstars from Bollywood.

Now Pandey had plenty of money and beautiful women. So he asked the jinni: Does it hurt to take out one testicle?

Next day, she scolds the Dalit Mali, "You have been sinning." "Memsahib, what did I do ?" "I saw your cycle outside Babloo boot-legger's shop, so you must have been sinning inside."

Used Condoms

He asks the Dalit, "When you eat bread, do you eat all of it?" "*Ji Haan!*, of course!" responds the Dalit man. "Well," says the Pandu, "we only eat the soft part of it. The rest we collect in containers, take to a factory and put through a mill. What comes out are little breads that we sell to Dalits." "And what about Chicken?" he continues. "Do you eat all parts of them?" "Ji Haan! We do," replies the Dalit.
"You don`t say!" says the Pandu, grinning. "We don`t! We only eat the meaty part of the chicken. The greasy part we collect in containers, take to a factory, put through a mill, and what comes out are little boneless pieces that we sell to Dalits."
Now the Dalit is really riled. So he asks, "And what do Pandus do with their used condoms?" "Hey, we throw them away of course," says the Pandu. "Ha!" exclaims the Dalit man.

"Could you please show me a clever way to make this into nine?"
After thinking for a while the Pandu took the pencil and drew a canopy of leaves on top of the three pairs of lines, and handed the paper back to the interviewer.
The interviewer looked at the drawings and said: "But that is not nine!" "Oh yes it is", said the Pandu, "Tree + Tree + Tree make nine!"

Offer then Half

Varsha Mishra went to Mumbai to do her Diwali shopping.
'Be careful,' said Madhu. Those Mumbai stores charge far more than you'd pay here in Imlinagar. They always double the price. So when you get there only offer them half.'
'I will,' said Varsha, and indeed she did.
'The green dress in the window,' she said. 'It's priced at Rs.40. That's much too dear!'
`Madam,' said the salesman, 'believe me it is a very reasonable price.'
'Don't give me that,' said Varsha. 'I know your kind, you're all robbers of the worst kind - I'll give you Rs.20 for the dress.'
'Look, madam,' said the salesman. 'I don't want a scene. If you calm down, I'll let you have the dress for Rs.20.'
In that case,' bellowed Varsha to a gathering crowd, 'I'll give you Rs.10 for it.'
'Madam, please,' begged the salesman, 'I don't want to sully our reputation. If it'll make you go away you can have it for Rs.10.'
'In that case I'll give you �5,' said Varsha.
`Madam, you're driving me nuts. To get rid of you, please take the dress for nothing.'
'In that case,' said Varsha, 'I want two!'

'Well, you won't find it in this bank,' said Tripathi.

Unluckiest Man

This Pandu called Sharma and six friends sat in the corner of the *dhabha* and the barmaid was asked to bring bhang for all. She approached the seven, with six glasses on a tray, and the Pandu said:
'Whenever there's a cup missing I always get it! I'm the world's unluckiest man. If it was raining soup I'd be standing here with a fork in me hand.'

Creditor Visits

Sharma received a letter from his creditor: "If no payment is made within the next seven days, we are coming to take away your TV, your video, your dining suite, your microwave, your sound system, your washing machine and your bedroom suite. What would your neighbours think of that?'
Sharma replied, 'I've had a word with the neighbours and they think it would be a lousy trick!'

That is Nehru

Bikram Chobey, the American Brahmin with Indian ancestors, was leaving India. He was being searched at Mumbai airport by the security agents from RAW. In his bag they found a bust, recently painted by the looks of it.
'What is this?' asked the secret service man.
'What? What? This is not a what, it's a who. It's a bust of our dear departed leader Nehru, the greatest man of all time. I'm taking it to America to be part of a shrine to the man.'
Suitably impressed the RAW let him leave but it wasn't long before he was being asked similar questions as he tried to pass customs at New York airport.
'What is this?' they asked.
`What? What? This is not a what, it's a who. It's Nehru, the most evil man in the history of the world. I'm going to place it in my bedroom in my son's house to remind me of all the anguish I suffered in India, and how fortunate I am to live here in beautiful New York.'
Satisfied, the immigration officials allowed Chobey entry and he straightaway made tracks for his son's home in Bronx. Unpacking his bags he brought out the bust of Nehru.
'Who's that?' asked son Anil.

'Who? Who? That's not a who, it's a what,' said Chobey. 'And I'll tell you what that is. Four kilos of platinum, that's what that is, son!'

Are you an inmate?

Inside the perimeter fence of the lunatic asylum sat Satish Shukla, lazily painting the railings a bright blue. As he stroked the brush gently up and down he was approached by a passing Brahmin tourist.
'Are you an inmate of this place?' he inquired.
'Well, yes and no,' said Shukla. 'You see I masterminded the greatest train robbery in India's history. Fifteen crores of rupees we took. I was arrested but tricked the court into thinking I was nuts, and they put me in here.'
'Well, what happened to the money?' asked the tourist, who was called Pradip Pandey.
'Sure that's the greatest part of the whole affair. I managed to plant it not a mile from here. At Ganga Road there's a tall mango tree and I dug down twelve feet and buried the cash on the north side,' said Shukla with a smile.
The tourist Pandey could hardly stop from breaking into a gallop as he covered the mile to Ganga Road. He bought a spade at the general store and, finding the mango tree, he dug for dear life, ten feet, twelve feet, fifteen feet, twenty feet - nothing! A big fat zero.
Back to the nuthouse he raced and there sat Shukla, still painting. 'There's no money under that tree!' bellowed Pandey. 'No money at all.'
`You've dug down and searched have you?' asked Shukla.
'Yes,' muttered Pandey.
Shukla smiled and said, 'Grab a brush!'

Pandu Counterfeiters

Two Brahmin counterfeiters had produced thousands of genuine-looking notes - Rs.50, Rs.20, Rs.10 - and really they should have been happy with their lot. However, greed breeds greed, and they scrambled through the discarded notes that had not passed close scrutiny. Among the jumble they came upon a perfectly fine note - watermark in exactly the right place. The only trouble was that the amount shown was Rs.18.
'Never mind,' said Shukla, the bossman. 'We'll unload it when we're over in Gujjusthan.'
And so they took the note with them and, whilst in Baroda, they entered a corner shop to dispense with it. 'Excuse me,' said Shukla to shopkeeper Mehta. 'Have you got change for an Rs.18 note?'
'Indeed, sir,' said Mehta. 'And would you like three sixes or two nines?'

Calling the Doctor

"My wife is having a baby, can you come Dr.?" inquired Tripathi on the phone. "Yes," replied the doctor "Is this her first child?"
"No this is her husband speaking."

What are your names?

Three Pandus, their brains well whettened with *bhang*, startedt to quarrel on the Mathura street. Names were called, aspersions were cast and blows seemed inevitable. Suddenly, like the US cavalry, there appeared a van load of policemen called by a worried passer-by.
'Right boys,' shouted the cop, 'let's all calm down and get our heads together. For a start we'll have your names!'
Not wishing to disclose his identity, one looked around and saw a shop name.
'J.C.Hans, sir,' he said with a smile.
'Well done,' said number two glancing at another sign. 'Ganguram's Son,' he cried.
Number three, the worst of all for drink, looked round and then kept up the theme with the totally unforgettable: "Mathura Central Bank!"

Where do you live?

Sharma never ever learned and would seek the fruits of the grain and the grape at every chance he could. So no wonder that Friday night, the holy of holy times when the work of the week was done, found him drunk as usual and happily traipsing home with Shukla. As they sang and shuffled along the street they were confronted by a very large policeman.
'Now my fine fellows,' he glowered. 'Would you tell me where you live?'
'Well,' said Sharma, 'I live at no fixed abode.' 'And I,' added Shukla, 'live in the flat above!'

How many ducks in this bag?

'Anyone who can guess how many ducks I have in this sack can have both of them,' said Chobey.
'Three,' said Dubey.
'That's close enough,' said Chobey.

Want to buy a Watch?

Standing at the dhabha, all alone, Saroj Shukla was approached by Sharma, a local Pandu gangster.
'Hey there,' said Sharma out of the corner of his mouth, 'wanna buy a watch?'
'What's it like?' asked Shukla.
'Sh!' said Sharma. 'The fellow next to you is still wearing it!'

Learning Rajju

Draining his glass of bhang, Sharma said, 'I must be going. I'm taking night school classes in Rajasthani.'
`You learning Rajju? Why so?' asked the bartender. 'Well, we've just adopted a Rajput baby and I want to know what it says when it grows up,' replied Sharma.

Wise Brahmins travel to the Sun

Two Brahmins are hired as astronauts by ISRO to fly on a solar mission. `Where are we flying to? asks one. `To the Sun,' replies the other. `You mad Pandu! How can that be? Don't you know that it is too hot there? We will be burnt alive in the flames!' `Yes, during the daytime. But we are flying at night.'

Struck Gold

Chobey had been told that the streets of Bangalore were paved with gold. Newly arrived in that fair city he was ambling along enjoying the morning air when he passed a dhabha outside which last night's rubbish had been stored in plastic bags. One had been kicked open and all over the pavement were gold tops from beer bottles.
'Gold,' shouted Chobey. 'I've struck a vein!'
Hurriedly he gathered all he could stuff into his pockets and marched into the dhabha.
`I'll have a double bhang,' he called to the barman, and placed a bottle top on the counter.
'This is tin,' sneered the barman.
'Thank God,' said Murphy. 'I thought it was only five - I'll have two double bhangs.'

Price of an Ad

'Is that the Times of India?' said Chobey.
'It is.'
'How much would it be to put an ad in your paper?'
'Five rupees an inch,' replied the receptionist.
`Too expensive!' snapped Chobey.
'Why? What are you selling?'
'A ten-foot cow-rope,' said the Pandu, and banged the phone down.

Nothing faster than a Tiger

'Before we enter the wilds of the Terai,' warned the hunter, 'always remember that the deadliest creature in these parts is the Tiger. Nothing in the world can outrun a hungry tiger!'
`I'll remember that,' said Tripathi. 'Don't you worry.'
For weeks on end the two trekked on towards the distant trading post until one morning the air was rent with an almighty roar.
'Say your prayers,' screamed the trapper. 'It's a hungry tiger.'
'I hear it,' called Tripathi, pulling on a pair of running shoes.
'Forget the shoes,' cried the trapper. 'You can't outrun a hungry tiger.' 'No, but I can outrun you,' smiled Tripathi.

Boiled Eggs

Pandey sat in the cafe and perused the menu. Then he called the waitress and said:
'Well,' said Pandey, 'how much are two boiled eggs?'
`Two boiled eggs is Rs. 1.50 sir,' was the reply.
'And how much is one boiled egg?' he asked.
`One boiled egg is Rs.1, sir,' muttered the waitress impatiently.
'Well, then,' said Pandey, 'I'll have the other boiled egg.

Beat the Odds

Mishra had studied the facts carefully and had come up with the following conclusions.
The odds against being on a plane which had a bomb on board were 10,000 to 1.
However, the odds against being on a plane which had two bombs on board were 10,000,000 to 1.
'That settles it,' he said. 'From now on, every time I fly I'm taking a bomb with me!'

Who's Cremation

As the funeral procession went by, the American tourist inquired of the Pandu policeman called Mishra:
'Who's dead?'
'I'm not sure,' said Mishra, 'but I think it's the fellow in the front car.'

Cow Contest

Pande and Panda had stumbled on a dead cow.
'What shall we do with it?' asked Panda.
'Let's give it away as a prize,' said Pande. '2 Rs. a ticket, limited sale of 200 tickets.'
'But what happens when the winner finds out it's dead?' reasoned Panda.
'Sure, we'll give him his money back!' came the reply.

Feeding the Baby

'Wake up,' said Mishra. 'The baby's crying. It wants feeding.'
'Well, you feed it,' said his wife. 'It's your son.' 'Yes,' spluttered Mishra. 'But he's half yours.' 'I know,' smiled the wife. 'But it's your half that's crying!'

Long Fish

'I'll have two fish,' said Tripathi at the *dhabha*.
'Very well,' said the shopkeeper. 'The fish won't be long.'
'Then they'd better be fat,' warned Tripathi.

For God

The young Salvation Army girl placed the collection box under the nose of Sharma and asked:
'Can you give a rupee for God?'
'How old are you?' asked Sharma.
`Twenty-four,' she replied.
'Well, I'm sixty-eight, I'll see him before you do. I'll pay him meself" came the retort.

Too Late

'Why don't you give up the drinking, smoking and carousing?' said the do-gooder to drunkark Panda.
'It's too late,' replied Panda.
'It's never too late,' assured the virtuous one.
'Well, there's no rush then,' smiled Panda.

Not enough parachutes

The plane had developed engine trouble and the pilot had collapsed while trying to control the steep dive. The passengers scrambled for safety, but they could only find three parachutes and there were four of them. What to do? It was hard to think for the noise of the Brahmin yapping off about what he'd done in the war and how he'd succeeded in life and how he should be saved above all the others.
'Indeed that's true,' said the Dalit co-pilot, 'you should take one parachute.' Without further argument the Brahmin grabbed the chute and leaped out.
'And you, my dear,' said the Dalit co-pilot to the young Gujju nurse. 'You must be saved. Because you have so much to offer and so much to live for.' Out leapt the Gujju nurse with the second chute.
'And now,' said the co-pilot. 'Now ..." 'Wait a moment,' said the Tamil. 'There's only one chute left, and you must take it.' 'Indeed, my son, we will both be saved. There are two parachutes left,' said the co-pilot.
`Two?' stuttered the Tamil. 'How so?' 'Simple,' said the Dalit co-pilot. 'I gave the big-mouthed Pandu your food-sack!'

Pandu in Heaven

A Pandu (Brahmin) died and went to heaven. When he got to the pearly gate Saint Peter told him that new rules were in effect due to the advances in education on earth. In order to gain admittance a prospective heavenly soul must answer two questions:
1. Name two days of the week that begin with 'T'.
2. How many seconds are in a year?

The pandu thought for a few minutes and answered...
1. The two days of the week that begin with 'T' are Today and Tomorrow.
2. There are 12 seconds in a year.

Saint Peter said, 'OK, I'll buy the Today and Tomorrow, even though it's not the answer I expected, so your answer is correct. But how did you get 12 seconds in a year?'

The Pandu replied, 'Well, January 2nd, February 2nd,March 2nd,etc....' Saint Peter lets him in without another word

Salary Expected

This Pandu Mishra was filling up an application form for a job. He promptly filled in the columns titled `Name, Age, Address' etc. Then he came to the column `Salary Expected:'. He was not sure as to what was to be filled there. After much thought he wrote: Yes

'I'm the unluckiest person in the whole world,' moaned Madhuri Tripathi. 'I bought a non-stick pan and can't get the label off.'

Pans

His wife had been killed in an accident and the police were questioning Mishra. "Did she say anything before she died?" asked the cop. "She spoke without interruption for about forty years," said the Pandu.

Obituary

Kalpana Dikshit came into the newsroom to pay for her husband's obiturary. She was told by the kindly newsman that it was a rupee a word and he remembered Dikshit very well. She thanked him for his kind words and bemoaned the fact that she only had two rupees. But she wrote out the obituary, "Dikshit died." The newsman said he thought old Dikshit deserved more and he'd give her three more words at no charge. Mrs. Dikshit thanked him and rewrote the obituary: "Dikshit died. Cow for sale"

Cooking Problems

'The dinner seems to be taking forever to cook!' moaned Chobey.
'Don't blame me,' said his wife, 'I'm only following instructions. On the box it says that the peas have to be boiled separately. I can't tell you how long it's taking!'

Standing in Boiling Water

On a box of instructions it said 'Stand in boiling water for twenty minutes'. Mrs Pandey could never manage that, her feet hurt to much when the water got too hot!

The Bhangi and the Brahmin Begum

A Bhangi [beggar] walked up to the Brahmin mother on the street and said, "Begum [lady], I haven't eaten in three days."
"Force yourself to," she replied.

Brahmin Advice to Young Men from an Old Man

1. Don't pick on the weak. It's immoral. Don't antagonize the strong without cause, its stupid.

2. Don't hate women. It's a waste of time

3. Invest in yourself. Material things come to those that have self actualized.

4. Get in a fistfight, even if you are going to lose.

5. As a former Marine, take it from me. Don't join the military, unless you want to risk getting your balls blown off to secure other people's economic or political interests.

6. If something has a direct benefit to an individual or a class of people, and a theoretical, abstract, or amorphous benefit to everybody else, realize that the proponent's intentions are to benefit the former, not the latter, no matter what bullshit they try to feed you.

7. Don't be a Republican. They are self-dealing crooks with no sense of honor or patriotism to their fellow citizens. If you must be a Republican, don't be a conservative. They are whining, bitching, complaining, simple-minded self-righteous idiots who think they're perpetual victims. Listen to talk radio for a while, you'll see what I mean.

8. Don't take proffered advice without a critical analysis. 90% of all advice is intended to benefit the proponent, not the recipient. Actually, the number is probably closer to 97%, but I don't want to come off as cynical.

9. You'll spend your entire life listening to people tell you how much you owe them. You don't owe the vast majority of people shit.

10. Don't undermine your fellow young men. Mentor the young men that come after you. Society recognizes that you have the potential to be the most power force in society. It scares them. Society does not find young men sympathetic. They are afraid of you, both individually and collectively. Law enforcement's primary purpose is to suppress you.

11. As a young man, you're on your own. Society divides and conquers. Unlike women who have advocates looking out for them (NOW, Women's Study Departments, government, non-profit organizations, political advocacy groups) almost no one is looking out for you.

12. Young men provide the genius and muscle by which our society thrives. Look at the Silicone Valley. By in large, it was not old men or women that created the revolution we live. Realize that society steals your contributions, secures it with our intellectual property laws, and then takes credit and the rewards where none is due.

13. Know that few people have your best interests at heart. Your mother does. Your father probably does (if he stuck around). Your siblings are on your side. Everybody else worries about themselves.

14. Don't be afraid to tell people to Fuck off when need be. It is an important skill to acquire. As they say, speak your piece, even if your voice shakes.

15. Acquire empathy, good interpersonal skills, and confidence. Learn to read body language and non-verbal communication. Don't just concentrate on your vocational or technical skills, or you'll find your wife fucking somebody else.

16. Keep fit.

17. Don't speak ill of your wife/girlfriend. Back her up against the world, even if she's wrong. She should know that you have her back. When she needs your help, give it. She should know that you'll take her part.

18. Don't cheat on your wife/girlfriend. If you must cheat, don't humiliate her. Don't risk having your transgressions come back to her or her friends. Don't do it where you live. Don't do it with people in your social circle. Don't shit in your own back yard.

19. If your girlfriend doesn't make you feel good about yourself and bring joy to your life, fire her. That�s what girlfriends are for.

20. Don't bother with emotional affairs. They are just a vehicle for women to flirt and have someone make them feel good about themselves. That's the part of a relationship they want. For you it is a lot of work and investment in time. If they are having an emotional affair with you, they're probably fucking someone else.

21. Becoming a woman's friend and confidant is not going to get you into an intimate relationship. If you haven't gotten the girl within a reasonably short period of time, chances are you won't ever get her. She'll end up confiding to you about the sexual adventures she's having with someone else.

22. Have and nurture friendships with women.

23. Realize that love is a numbers game. Guys fall in love easily. You're going to see some girl and feel like you'll die if you don't get her. If she rejects you, move on to the next one. It's her loss.

24. Don't be an internet troll. Got out and live life. There is not a cadre of beautiful women advertising on Craigslist to have NSA sex with you. Beautiful women don't need to advertise. The websites that advertise with attractive women's photos and claims of loneliness are baloney. All they want is your money and your personal information so that they can market to you. The posts on Craigslist by young women seeking NSA sex, and asking for a picture are just a bunch of gay troll pic collectors. This is especially true if the post uses common gay lexicon like 'hole' as in 'fuck my hole' or seeks masculine men, or uses the word cock (except in the context of Don't send a cock shot.) There are women on Craigslist. They are easily recognizable by their 2-5 paragraph postings. Most are in their 30's or older.

25. When you become a man in full, know that people will get in your way. People who are attracted to you will somehow manage to step in your path. Gay guys will give you the look. Old people will somehow stumble in front of you at the worst time. Don't get frustrated. Just step aside and go about your business. Know that these are passive aggressive methods to get you to acknowledge their existence.

26. Don't gay bash. Don't mentally or physically abuse people because of who they are, or how they present themselves. It's none of your business to try to intimidate people into conformity.

27. If your gay, admit it to yourself, your parents, your friends and society at large. Be prepared to get harassed. See rule 14. If someone threatens you or assaults you, call the cops. Have them arrested. You have no obligation to self sacrifice because of who you are. As a gay person, you'll have more social freedom than straight men. Use it to protect yourself. Be prepared to get out of Dodge if your orientation makes your life unbearable. Move to San Francisco, New York, Atlanta, or New Orleans. You'll find a welcoming community there.

28. Don't be a poser. Avoid being one of those dudes who puts a surfboard on top of their car, but never surfs, or a dude with a powder coated fixed gear bike and a messenger bag, but was never a messenger. Live the life. Earn your bona fides.

29. Don't believe the crap about the patriarchy. More women are accepted and attend college. More degrees are awarded to women than men. Women outlive men. More men commit suicide. Men are twice as likely to be victims of violence, including murder. If you consider sexual assaults in prisons, twice as many men are raped as women (society thinks prison rape is funny). The streets are littered with homeless men, sprinkled with a few homeless women. Statically, women are happier than men. The myth that girls are being cheated by are educational system is belied by the fact that schools are bastions of femininity, mostly run by and taught by women. Girls outperform boys in school. It is the boys in school getting fucked over, and prescribed ritalin for being boys. Real wages for men are falling, while real wages for women are rising. Just because someone says something enough times, doesn't make it true. You have nothing to feel guilty about.

30. Remember, 97% of all advice is worthless. Take what you can use, and trash the rest.
