පැහැ ගන්වා තිබුණ හෙයින්
ඒවා පෞද්ගලික ඒවා නොවන
බව දැනගතිමි .
මොහොතකින් කොංදොස්තර
බුවා පැමිණ ටිකට් කැඩීම
ඇරැඹීය .
”කොහාටද?”
”බුවලියගොඩ..”

A kid asks: 'Daddy? How did I
come into this world?
The Daddy Answered: ' Well, my
child, some day I'll have to tell
you any way.
The Kid asked again: 'So why not
today?'
The Dad Respond: Please, listen
carefully:Mom and Dad met each
other in an internet café. In the
bathroom of that café, dad
connected to mom.
Mom at that time made some
downloads from dad's memory
stick.When dad finished uploading
we discovered we didn't use any
firewall.
Since it was too late to cancel or
delete, nine months later we
ended up with a virus.'
A family in Gujarat was puzzled
when the coffin of their dead
mother (Ba) arrived from the US .
It was sent by one of the
daughters.
The dead body was very tightly
squeezed inside the coffin, with
no space left in it when they
opened the lid; they found a
letter on top addressed to her
brothers and sisters:
Dear Chandrakantbhai,
Arvindbhai, Smitaben and Varsha,
I am sending Ba's body to you,
since it was her wish that she
should be cremated in the
compound of our ancestral home
in GUJARAT .
Sorry, I could not come along as
all of my paid leave is consumed.
You will find inside the coffin,
under Ba's body, cans of cheese,
10 packets of Tobler chocolates
and 8 packets of Badam
(peanuts) please divide these
among all of you.
On Ba's feet you will find a new
pair of Reebok shoes (size 10) for
Mohan. There are also 2 pairs of
shoes for Radha's and Lakshmi's
sons. Hope the sizes are correct.
Ba is wearing 6 American T-Shirts.
The large size is for Mohan.
Just distribute the rest among
yourselves.
The 2 new Jeans that Ba is
wearing are for the boys.
The Swiss watch that Reema
wanted is on Ba's left wrist.
Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the
necklace, earrings and ring that
you asked for. Please take them
off her.
The 6 white cotton socks that Ba
is wearing must be divided among
my nephews.
Please distribute all these fairly.
PS : If anything more required let
me know soon as Bapuji is also
not feeling too well now a days
