Mr. Bean: I lost my cheque book
Bank Manager: Be careful, anyone can put your signature!
Mr. Bean: I am not a fool, I have already signed all the cheques!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Priest dies & is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates. Ahead of him is a guy, fashionably dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans.

God asks him: Please tell me who are you, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not ?

The guy replies: I am Pandi, Auto driver from Chennai!

God consults his ledger, smiles & says to Pandi: Please take this silken robe & gold scarf & enter the Kingdom of Heaven .

Now it is the priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice: I am Pope's Assistant so so, Head Priest of the so so Church for the last 40 years.

God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: Please take this cotton robe & enter the Kingdom of Heaven .

'Just a minute,' says the agonized Priest. 'How is it that a foul mouthed, rash driving Auto Driver is given a Silken robe & a Golden scarf and me, a Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name & goodness has to make do with a Cotton robe?!'

'Results my friend, results,' shrugs God.

'While you preached, people SLEPT;

but when he drove his Auto, people really PRAYED'

It's PERFORMANCE, and not POSITION,

that ultimately counts. :)

hari,

i am glad i don't speak indlich. :)

your post is a true example of reality besting humour.

one of my relatives recently applied for admission to some u.s. university. as part of the process, she had to write an essay about herself.

her essay was about 10 pages, all flowery with adjectives, adverbs and pronouns, that no one in north america, has ever heard, i am sure.

even to me, they sounded quaint and dated.

i editted the essay to 3 pages (thanks to mr. perry my high school english teacher and his emphasis on precis writing) to simple 3 and 4 syllable english words of today's usage.

one example in my own life: in 1973, when i came to canada, in one of the first conversation with my landlord, i told him that i needed to buy utensils. he raised his eybrows a tad, then smiled. 'son', he said, 'we call them pots and pans here, but i understand what you mean'.

i think, with current access to internet, globalization of communication and even more universalization of the english language, we all are gradually moving towards a simpler and easier spoken english.

i think so.

good stuff hari :)
