COUPLE'S JOKE

A couple had marriage problems and decided to end their union after a very short time together.

In court, the judge asked the husband, "What has brought you to the point where you cannot keep this marriage together?"

The husband replied, "In the six weeks we've been married, we haven't agreed on even one thing."

His wife interrupted, "Not six, Seven weeks!"

Women and God

A middle aged woman had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital.


While on the operating table she had a near death experience.


Seeing God She asked "Is my time up?" God said, "No, you have another 43 years, 2 months and 8 days to live." Upon recovery,


the woman decided to stay in the hospital and have a Facelift, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. She even had someone come in and change her hair color.


Since she had so much more time to live, she figured she might as well make the most of it. After her last operation, she was released from the hospital. While crossing the street on her way home,


she was killed by an ambulance. Arriving in front of God, she demanded, "I thought you said I had another 40 years? Why didn't you pull me from out of the


path of the ambulance?"

MUMBAIKER-HILARIOUS

Very Interesting. ......... ........
Once a man went to a Veterinary Doctor and said, ' Doctor, I have come on vacation for a month so that I can get myself treated fully within this period'.
Doctor : I think you should go to the Doctor opposite to my clinic, see that board.
Man : No, Doctor, I have come to you only..
Doctor : But gentleman, I am a Veterinary Doctor. I am an animal specialist. I do not treat human beings.
Man : I know, Doctor very well and that is why I have come to you only...
Doctor : I can not, because you speak like me, think like me, talk like me which means you are a human being and not an animal.
Man : I know I am a human but listen to my complaints first.
Doctor : OK. Tell me.
Man : I sleep like a dog thinking about my work load whole night.
I get up in the morning like a horse
I go to work running like a deer
I work all the day like a donkey
I run around for 11 months like a bull without any holiday.
I wag my tail in front of all my bosses
I play with my children like a monkey if I get time.
I am like a rabbit before my wife
Doctor: Are you FROM MUMBAI ?
Man: Yes
Doctor : Instead of telling this long history you should have told me in the beginning itself that you are FROM MUMBAI . Come man, no one can treat you better than me.

Don't miss the Chance,

ALL FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD READ THIS ESPECIALLY CHILDREN

DEAR ALL MUST READ FOR ALL

ALL FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD READ THIS ESPECIALLY CHILDREN!

These crooks are getting very good!

A lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile telephone after her handbag was stolen.
Her handbag, which contained her mobile telephone, credit card, purse, etc., was stolen.
Twenty minutes later she called her husband, from a pay telephone telling him what had happened.
Her husband said, 'I have just received your text asking about our pin number and I have replied a little while ago.'
When they rushed down to the bank, the staff told them all the money was already withdrawn.
The thief had actually used the stolen mobile telephone to text her husband in the contact list and got hold of the pin number.
Within twenty minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.

Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Mom, Dad, etc.,
And very importantly, when sensitive information is being asked for through texts, CONFIRM by calling back.
Also, when you are being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them.
If you do not reach them, be very careful about going places to meet 'family and friends' who text you.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON.

I never thought about THAT!
As of right now, do you have 'home' named on the mobile?

THINK OUT OF THE BOX

GREAT MAIL---- THINK OUT OF THE BOX

"THINK OUT OF THE BOX"-great! Question 1: You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus: An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once saved your life. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about. Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car? This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application. * You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; * or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to ! pay him back. * However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again. The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer. Guess what was his answer? He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams." Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box." Question 2: What will you do if I run away with your sister?" The candidate who was selected answered "I will not get a better match for my sister than you sir" Question 3: Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What is one morning you woke up & found that you were pregnant. Girl - I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my husband. Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when asked Question 4: Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you? Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea" He got selected.. You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that coffee was kept before. (Answer: The question was "What is before you (U - alphabet) Reply was "TEA" ( T - alphabet) Question 5: The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept your files." Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table and told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer asked how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table, then he answers quickly that sir u r not likely to ask any more question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask..... And hence, he was selected as because of his quick- wittedness. ........ This is what the Interviewer expects from the Interviewee. ....
