Re: jokes (keep it clean)
*The English Plural*
*according to ....*
*We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes;
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese;
You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
*
*If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen ?
If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet ?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth ?
*
*Then one may be that, & three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose;
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother & also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his & him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis & shim !
*
*Let's face it - **English** is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
Neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
**English** muffins weren't invented in England.
*
*We take **English** for granted,
but if we explore its paradoxes,
We find that quicksand can work slowly,
boxing rings are square;
A guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
Why is it that writers write, but fingers don't fing,
Grocers don't groce & hammers don't ham ?
*
*Doesn't it seem crazy that ...
you can make amends but not one amend ?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends ...
and get rid of all but one of them,
What do you call it ?
*
*If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught ?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
what does a humanitarian eat ?
*
*Sometimes I think all people who speak** English*
*Should be in an asylum for the verbally insane.
In what other language do people recite at a play,
and play at a recital ?
*
*We ship by truck but send cargo by ship ...
We have noses that run & feet that smell;
We park in a driveway & drive in a parkway.
And how can a slim chance & a fat chance be the same,
while a wise man & a wise guy are opposites ?
*
*You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language
in which your house can burn up as it burns down;
In which you fill in a form by filling it out,
& in which an alarm goes off by going on.*
*And in closing ....*
*
**If Father is Pop ....
how come Mother's not Mop ? ? ? ?*

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful
marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?"
The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her
shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that
because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better
husband than you."

Re: jokes (keep it clean)
A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested
"I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU
officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite,
humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to
accompany me the whole day at home during my leisure hour, if I don't go
out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation
and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and
replied, "I understand you need television."
A friend and her millionaire husband visited their construction site. A
worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, "Hi, Emily! Remember me? We
used to date in the secondary school." On the way home, her millionaire
husband teased her, "Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife
of a construction worker." She answered,"You should appreciate that you
married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire and not you."

Re: jokes (keep it clean)
There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses.
One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about.
The letter read:
Dear God,
I am an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?
Sincerely, Edna
The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars.
By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.
The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.
Christmas came and went.
A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.
It read:
Dear God,
How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it might have been those bastards at the post office.
Sincerely, Edna

Re: jokes (keep it clean)
An engineer dies and reports to the Pearly Gates.
Saint Peter checks his dossier and, not seeing his name there, accidentally sends him to Hell.
It doesn’t take long before the engineer becomes rather dissatisfied with the level of comfort in Hell.
He soon begins to design and build improvements. Shortly thereafter, Hell has air conditioning, flush toilets and escalators. Needless to say, the engineer is a pretty popular guy.
One day, God calls Satan and says with a sneer: “So, how are things in Hell?”
Satan replies: “Hey, things are going great. We’ve got air conditioning, flush toilets, and escalators. And there’s no telling what this engineer is going to come up with next.”
“What!” God exclaims: “You’ve got an engineer? That’s a mistake — he should never have been sent to Hell… send him to me.”
“Not a chance,” Satan replies: “I like having an engineer on the staff, and I’m keeping him!”
God insists: “Send him back or I’ll sue.”
Satan laughs uproariously and answers: “Yeah, right. And where are you going to get a lawyer?”

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater. If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby. If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her. So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.'

when the police start hammering the vendor, he says 'arey mai baap, hamne to wohi kiya jo in ladies ne kaha'.
incredulous police ask the vendor sarcastically, 'kya unhone tumhe kaha ke unki chedkhani karo?!'
bhelpuriwala says, 'o saab, ye mahila aakar boli ke "mujhko ragdo, aur usko chaat", to maine wohi kiya'....

A father put his 3 year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which ended by saying: "God bless Mommy, God bless Daddy, God bless Grandma and goodbye Grandpa."
The father asked, "Why did you say goodbye Grandpa?"
The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do."
The next day grandpa died. The father thought it was a strange coincidence.
A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers which went like this: "God bless Mommy, God Bless Daddy and goodbye Grandma." The next day the grandmother died.
"Holy Moley, thought the father, this kid is in contact with the other side.
Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say: "God bless Mommy and goodbye Daddy." He practically went into shock.
He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he
Would be okay. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound.
Finally, midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and went home. When he got home his wife said, "I've never seen you work so late, what's the matter?"
He said, "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life."
She said, "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me. This morning my golf professor dropped dead in the middle of my lesson.

Every man should get married some time; after all, happiness is not the only thing in life!! --Anonymous
Bachelors should be heavily taxed. It is not fair that some men should be happier than others. --Oscar Wilde
Don't marry for money; you can borrow it cheaper. --Scottish Proverb
I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years. --Sam Kinison
Men have a better time than women; for one thing, they marry later; for another thing, they die earlier.--H. L. Mencken
When a newly married couple smiles, everyone knows why.
When a ten-year married couple smiles, everyone wonders why.
Love is blind but marriage is an eye-opener.
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife,
You can be sure of one thing:
Either the car is new or the wife.
I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back to home always. --Anonymous

Biggest problem being married is every khuti including the hat rack is filled with her coats.The coats in the closet are old and out of fashion.Still to dear to donate.Even the suit cases in garage have coats in them.Right she is when she says she has nothing to wear.

You complain more about your wife than the progressives complain about the Syedna. Have you ever tried talking to her?

Please dont stop giving me new ideas since you are full of it.I pity the man who shuts himself to new ideas even when it has to do with religion.Life is all down hill from then on.I am glad you reached the peak.
Re: jokes (keep it clean)
I am always open to new ideas. I would love a scandinavian chinese buffet prepared in your mosque. Please don't tell me you chickened out of that. Or do you prefer new ideas only as long as someone else implements them?

Proverbs and their opposites
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW STATES: "EVERY ACTION HAS AN EQUAL AND AN OPPOSITE REACTION".
SO IT WOULD STAND TO REASON THAT EVERY PROVERB HAS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE PROVERB.
ALL GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT
BUT
TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NONE
THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD
BUT
ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
WISE MEN THINK ALIKE
BUT
FOOLS SELDOM DIFFER
THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE ARE FREE
BUT
THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH
SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE
BUT
TIME WAITS FOR NONE
LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP
BUT
STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT
DO IT WELL, OR NOT AT ALL
BUT
HALF A LOAF IS BETTER THAN NONE
BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER
BUT
OPPOSITES ATTRACT
DON'T CROSS YOUR BRIDGES BEFORE YOU COME TO THEM
BUT
FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED

They have the tallest residential towers in the world, the tallest restaurant in the world, the largest number of Malbaris in the world, the highest crane operator in the world.
If it does not grow in Dubai, they' ll make it artificially - artificial ski slopes, artificial islands, artificial oasis, coconut trees and lawns, artificial beaches, artificial economy.
Indians especially love it here because of the dirham-to-rupee value. Pakistani's adore it.
The Egyptians come here because there is nothing to do in Egypt. No more pyramids to build either.
The Filipinos come here because they have no choice; there's nothing back home, not even dogs - they've been eaten up.
The Brits come here coz they have forgotten what it is to enjoy 3 meals a day in UK and nobody employs them there for the crap they give.
The Lebanese come here to buy cars, dress to kill, wear Peter Pan shoes 10 sizes bigger than their feet, put 1 kg of gel on their heads and give everyone ball talk. They'll buy a 1980s Merc or BMW for 10k dirhams and drive the car like they're sitting in the rear passenger seat, stretching their arms all the way to the steering wheel, giving you the piercing bald eagle look.
Russian girls come here for "fun".
The Bangladeshis come here to serve you when you honk outside a Bakala (shop), but would not even look at you if you park and go inside to pickup yourself.
Now according to the government Dubai is Tax free. Of course, that is true. You only have to pay for the visa, medical, sponsor, insurance, resident ID, opening a bank account or even closing an account, municipality, sewerage, attestation of papers, translation of papers, driving license papers, lessons, car license, testing, and .... but the salary is Tax Free.
Only, there is a Pay and Park scheme with 5000 parking lots, and 500,000 cars in the city, so where the hell do you park? And you are fined for wrong parking.
Toll has been introduced on many roads. You can avoid the toll tax by using alternative routes, but you'll end up in a traffic jam because everyone is trying to avoid the toll tax.
If you have any government related work like medicals for visa or immigration, you have 2 options - Standard and Urgent Procedure. Standard takes 7 days and Urgent takes 1 day. The difference is 100-odd dirhams. Everyone goes for the urgent option and the Dubai government makes money, urgently.
If you switch jobs you get a work ban and to lift the ban you pay a huge penalty.
In Dubai, without a car you are paralyzed (you don't even get jobs if you don't have a car). But you'll get your license in attempts ranging from 2 to 20. Each time you fail you have paid fees for Driving Classes & Driving Tests, which are 1000-odd dirhams. Imagine the money RTA makes.
Most of the expats live alone with families back home. So they spend much on phone calls. And call charges from Dubai are high.
Another odd thing about Dubai - no matter where you go or who you meet, you take down phone numbers. Everybody has everybody's number in Dubai. And everyone has a Visiting Card, whether you are a bootlegger, a masseuse, a hooker, a car cleaner, a watchman or a pizza delivery boy. Everyone knocks around with lots of cards in his or her wallet and one card in the palm. So whenever you shake hands with anyone in Dubai and let go, you end up with a visiting card in your palm.
If youre walking on the road and you ask someone the time, he'll tell you 10:30, give you his card and say, I have new and second-hand watches.
At a restaurant when you are leaving they'll say, here is my card, call me for home delivery.
If you're below your building, you'll meet those Chinese chicks giving you their cards, saying, call us if you want DVDs.
If you are standing at a bus stop, a Pakistani will pull over in his 1980 Toyota Corolla, give you his card and say, If you want Pick-up & Drop Service, call me.
Dubai has amusing buildings. Some have holes in them, some have giant balls on them, some look like airplanes, some look like sail boats, and, all of them reach into space with your window right in front of the moon.
Everyone in Dubai goes to malls, not necessarily to shop. To beat the heat, go to a mall; business meeting, go to a mall; getting bored, go to a mall; want to take a leak or dump, go to a mall; want to do lukhagiri (little in your pocket, little in your mind), go to a mall.
If you want to go for a picnic go to a mall.
Some Malbaris go home to Kerala, get married, and then come to a Dubai Mall for their honeymoon.
THAT...MY FRIENDS.....IS

Re: jokes (keep it clean)
President Obama and the Canadian PM are shown a time machine which can see 50 years into the future. They both decide to test it by asking a question each.
President Obama goes first: "What will the USA be like in 50 years’ time?"
The machine whirls and beeps and goes into action and gives him a printout, he reads it out: "The country is in good hands under the new president, José Fernandez.... Crime is non-existent, there is no conflict, the economy is healthy. Vice President Jin Tao has declared Chinese language mandatory in all US schools There are no worries."
The Canadian PM thinks, "It's not bad, this time machine, I'll have a bit of that" so he asks: "What will Canada be like in 50 years’ time?"
The machine whirls and beeps and goes into action, and he gets a printout. But he just stares at it.
"Come on, David," says Obama, "Tell us what it says."..
"I Can't ! It is all in Punjabi".

bro AZ,
It could have been the bastardised version of hebrew blended with punjabi.

Care to take a shot at what the Saifee Mahal looks like 50 years from now?

Re: jokes (keep it clean)
It would be no better then the house of Dracula as 50 years is more then enough time for Allah (swt) to cast his wrath on the evildoers who play with His religion and lead people astray. We could probably see the same zaadas standing with begging bowls at the gates of saifee mahal but sadly the 52nd dai wont be a part of it as no amount of 'Abyat Sharifa' recited daily by the abdes for his 'Shifa-e-kulli' is going to convince Allah (swt) to prolong his life for another 50 odd years.anajmi wrote:Care to take a shot at what the Saifee Mahal looks like 50 years from now?
Re: jokes (keep it clean)
I believe that in 50 years Saifee Mahal would be undergoing the kind of renovation that we haven't seen since Cecil B. DeMille showed it to us in The Ten Commandments where the Pharoah was building the great Pyramids or his palaces. Replace the Bani Israel with the abdes and the then Syedna with the Pharoah. Only problem being, there is no moses coming for the abdes!!

Re: jokes (keep it clean)
The problem is that the abdes have mistaken the dai as Moses instead of Pharoah. By the way the arabian sea is not very far from saifee mahal but alas we wont see it splitting and creating a safe passage for the abdes.
