Mr. Clinton
Shortly after President Bush took office, an old man approached the White House from the park across Pennsylvania Ave where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the U. S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Clinton."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president and no longer resides here." The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Clinton."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president and no longer resides here." The man thanked him and, again, just walked away.
The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same U. S. Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Clinton." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Clinton; I've told you already that Mr. Clinton is no longer the president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just LOVE hearing it!"
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted and said, "See you tomorrow, Sir!"

Several years ago, the Catholic Church required women to wear a head covering in order to enter the sanctuary. One Sunday a lady arrived without her head covering. The priest informs her that she cannot enter without it. A few moments later, the lady re-appears wearing her blouse tied to her head. The shocked priest says, "Madam, I cannot allow you to enter this holy place without your wearing a blouse." "But Father, I have a divine right," she informs. "Yes, I see. And your left one isn't bad either, but you still must wear a blouse to enter *this* church!" he insists.

Two Irish Nuns have just arrived in the USA by boat. One nun says to the other "I heard that the occupants of this country eat dogs." "Odd," her companion replied, "but if we shall live in America we might as well do as Americans do." So both Nuns walk towards a hot dog vendor. "Two Dogs, please," says the first Nun. The vendor is only too happy to oblige, and wraps 2 hot dogs in foil. Excited, the nuns hurry to a bench and begin to unwrap their "dogs". The first Nun opens hers and stares at it for a moment, leans over to the other nun cautiously ask, "What part of the dog did you get?"

Heavenly Golf
The Pope met with the College of Cardinals to discuss a proposal from Shimon Peres, the former leader of Israel "Your holiness," said one of the Cardinals, "Mr. Peres wants to determine whether Jews or Catholics are superior, by challenging you to a golf match."The Pope was greatly disturbed, as he had never held a golf club in his life. "Not to worry," said the Cardinal, "we’ll call America and talk to Jack Nicklaus. We’ll make him a Cardinal, he can play Shimon Peres... We can’t lose!" Everyone agreed it was a good idea. The call was made and, of course, Jack was honoured and agreed to play. The day after the match, Nicklaus reported to the Vatican to inform the Pope of his success in the match. "I came in second, your Holiness," said Nicklaus. "Second?!!" exclaimed the surprised Pope. "You came in second to Shimon Peres?!!" "No," said Nicklaus, "second to Rabbi Woods."

Biblical Love
After a few days on the new Earth, the Lord called to Adam and said, ’’It is time for you and Eve to begin the process of populating the earth, so I want you to kiss her.’’ Adam answered, ’’Yes, Lord, but what is a ’kiss’?’’ The Lord gave a brief description to Adam, who took Eve by the hand and took her to a nearby bush. A few minutes later, Adam emerged and said, ’’Thank you Lord, that was enjoyable.’’ And the Lord replied, ’’Yes Adam, I thought you might enjoy that. Now, I’d like you to caress Eve.’’ And Adam said, ’’What is a ’caress’?’’ So, the Lord again gave Adam a brief description and Adam went behind the bush with Eve. Quite a few minutes later, Adam returned, smiling, and said, ’’Lord, that was even better than the kiss.’’ And the Lord said, ’’You’ve done well Adam. And now, I want you to make love to Eve.’’ And Adam asked, ’’What is ’make love’, Lord?’’ So, the Lord again gave Adam directions and Adam went again to Eve behind the bush, but this time he re-appeared in two seconds. And Adam said, ’’Lord, what is a ’headache’?’’

A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee." The husband said, "You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee." Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says: "HEBREWS"

A lawyer a Rabbi and a Hindu holy man, had car trouble in the countryside and asked to spend the night with a farmer. The farmer said "There might be a problem; you see, I only have room for two to sleep, so one of you must sleep in the barn." "No problem," chimed the Rabbi, "My people wandered in the desert for forty years, I am humble enough to sleep in the barn for an evening. With that he departed to the barn and the others bedded down for the night. Moments later a knock was heard at the door; the farmer opened the door, there stood the Rabbi from the barn. "What's wrong?" asked the farmer. The Rabbi replied, "I am grateful to you, but I can't sleep in the barn. There is a pig in the barn and my faith believes that this is an unclean animal." His Hindu friend agrees to swap places with him. But a few minutes late the same scene reoccurs. There is a knock on the door, "What's wrong, now?" the farmer asks. The Hindu holy man replies, "I too am grateful for your helping us out but there is a cow in the barn and in my country cows are considered sacred. I can't sleep on holy ground!" Well, that leaves only the lawyer to make the change. He grumbled and complained, but went out to the barn. Yep, you guessed it! Moments later there was another knock on the farmers door. Frustrated and tired, the farmer opens the door, and there stood the pig and the cow.

A missionary who had spent years showing a tribe of natives how to farm and build things to be self sufficient gets word that he is to return home. He realizes that the one thing he never taught the natives was how to speak English, so he takes the chief and starts walking in the forest. He points to a tree and says to the chief, "This is a tree." The chief looks at the tree and grunts, "Tree." The missionary is pleased with the response. They walk a little farther and the padre points to a rock and says, "This is a rock." Hearing this, the chief looks and grunts, "Rock." The padre is really getting enthusiastic about the results when he hears a rustling in the bushes. As he peeks over the top, he sees a couple in the midst of heavy romantic activity. The padre is really flustered and quickly responds, "Riding a bike." The chief looks at the couple briefly, pulls out his spear and kills them! The padre goes ballistic and yells at the chief that he has spent years teaching the tribe how to be civilized and kind to each other! How could he just kill these people in cold blood that way? The chief replied, "My bike."

The Pope was finishing his sermon. He ended it with the Latin phrase: "Tuti Homini" - Blessed be Mankind. A women’s rights group approached the Pope the next day. They pointed out that the Pope blessed all Mankind, but not Womankind. The next day, after His sermon, the Pope concluded by saying: "Tuti Homini, et Tuti Femini" - Blessed be Mankind and Womankind. The next day, a gay-rights group approached the Pope. They said that they noted that he blessed Mankind and Womankind, and asked if he could also bless Gay people. The next day, the Pope concluded his sermon with: "Tuti Homini, et Tuti Femini, et Tuti Fruiti."

Vacationing in Hawaii, two priests decide to wear casual clothes so they won´t be identified as clergy. They buy Hawaiian shirts and sandals, and soon head for the beach. They notice a gorgeous blond in a tiny bikini. "Good afternoon, Fathers" she says as she strolls by. The men are stunned. How does she know they are clergy? Later that day, they buy even wilder attire consisting of surfer shorts, tie dyed T-shirts, and dark glasses. The next day, they return to the beach. The same fabulous blond, now wearing a string bikini, passes by, nods politely at them and says, "Good morning Fathers." "Just a minute young lady.", says one of the priests. "We are priests and proud of it, but how in the world did you know?" The blonde replies, "Don´t you recognize me? I´m sister Katherine from the convent."

Three men are traveling in the Amazon: a Canadian, an American, and a Mexican. They get captured by a fierce tribe of Amazons. The tribe leader tells them they will be whipped for entering their territory. The tribe chief says to the Candian, "What do you want on your back for your whipping?" The Canadian responds, "I will take oil!" So they put oil on his back, and a large Amazon whips him 10 times. When he is finished the Canadian has these huge welts on his back, and he can hardly move. The Amazons haul the Canadian away, and say to the Mexican, "What do you want on your back?" "I will take nothing!, I will take my punishment like a real man!" says the Mexican, and he boldly stands there and takes his 10 lashings without a single flinch. Finally, it’s the Yank’s turn and the tribal chief asks: "What will you take on your back?" And he responds - "I’ll take the Mexican!"

GOOD BOYS BAD BOYS(Humour)

GOOD BOYS BAD BOYS(Humour)

Actually not boys, I wanted to write about “Good men” and “Bad men” naming it “Good men Bad men”. But you all will object the concept of “Good men”, it doesn’t sound good to ear. You will say, I should use “Gentlemen”. But, “Are all good men really Gentle?” I have a sincere doubt here. M&B* Romance mostly opposes it. There, the “Good man” is generally a rough guy, who appears so heartless at the beginning that the protagonist lady needs to travel through the whole book to ultimately find his heart, and of course, his gentleness at the end. I remember reading somewhere long back, ‘A lady is a woman who makes a man behave like a gentleman’. So, we need a ‘lady’ here. But today I want to write about ‘men’ and only 'men', gentle or non-gentle, regardless. So, better go with “Good boys Bad boys”.

There are some interesting and universally agreeable (I think) features of good boys and bad boys. That’s how they can be differentiated. I hope the ‘men’ who read this wouldn’t come to me with hammer to attack me for this experimentation, or better say, R&D. C’mon it’s my blog, so today I’ve got the privilege to take all the men to the social laboratory for scrutiny and finding the characteristics of good boys and bad boys. Let’s have a look.

Starts with the good boy. As a kid, the good boy is never a naughty boy. He doesn’t disobey anything the elders say. He doesn’t make his dress dirty playing with watery mud. He doesn’t pull the hair of the longhaired girl who sits in front of him in the school bus. But the good boy (kid) decides the girl (baby girl) to marry and parents find it sooooooooooooo sweet!( because he is so naïve and innocent).

As a teenager, the good boy doesn’t bunk classes to go to movie. He never tries to travel in the bus without a ticket. He stays away from the fashion trends, girls company and canteen adda. He studies regularly and if not a topper, atleast never becomes the bottommer(is there a word "bottommer" in English dictionary?) in the class. He doesn’t spend sleepless nights thinking about a girl, atleast he pretends to be so (it must be so difficult). He mostly wears trousers with light colored shirts instead of jeans-tee to college. He doesn’t ride his bike in maximum speed possible to draw attention of ‘that girl’ coming from the other end. In one word, good boy never waste his valuable time after a girl. At most, he may write poetry.

As a grown up man, he does well in the career he chooses. This is very important for his “Good” image, because in our society, a professionally unsuccessful man, however good may otherwise, is never considered good enough for his prospective father-in-laws. The good boy always touches the feet of his parents before going for anything important. He always goes to his workplace in purely formal dress and clean shaving (mostly). The good boy never defies the wishes of his mother as far as his marriage is concerned. No matter with how many girls he exchanges his heart (yes, it’s always a matter of heart, that is love, not lust, after all, he is the good boy), but surely without any third person's knowledge, he never makes any promise to any girl for marriage. Because the good boy always goes as per his parents wish. The good boys never drink, never smoke. However, in many situations he is allowed both the things along with his good image; after all, they are part of the modern etiquette. But he makes it sure never to show his parents doing so. The good boy never shouts at his wife. If he is really unhappy with her, instead, he would ignore her existence as far as practicable and may find another good lady to be his intimate friend. And an equally good wife (chosen by his mother after going through all the family history) is always tolerant, non-demanding and loyal who never questions her husband.

Now let’s talk about bad boys. The bad boy starts his life as a naughty baby, the terror of the neighborhood, whom the parents scare to take along for social gathering. My God! he is so talkative, God knows, what he would say in front of whom!(all the true conditions & equations and fighting of the inside household, the secrets the parents took so many years of efforts to hide from their neighbors).

The bad boy has his first crush even before reaching the teenage sometimes, and the first kiss in early teens. The good boy in college envies the bad boy secretly because he is always surrounded by girls. The girls find him attractive and smart. He goes to college in the dress of the latest movie heroes and never fails to notice the slightest interest shown by a girl, however quiet she may be. He is always overly helpful towards girls. He is ever more than ready to offer his helping “hand”(literally hand or maybe shoulder) to any girl.

Though he never bothered much about studies, he ends up managing atleast some good enough corporate jobs. Well, after all, isn’t it the old man’s duty to get him settled? By that time, after a lot of trial and error, liking, dating, partying and romancing (including all kinds of intimacy in different scales depending on the girl's permissible limit) with many, finally he finds ‘the girl’ with whom he ultimately falls in love. Then the bad boy becomes adamant and he doesn’t hesitate to defy anybody and any rule to marry the girl of his choice, no matter even if it’s his parents. Even after marriage, he doesn’t mind calling “baby” the other “hot girls” around. When he is happy, he laughs loud, louder than what is needed to everyone around turn their head in his direction. He doesn't mind lighting a cigarette wherever he feels like. (It's a free country and he has bought it with his money, right?) He is not as cool and patient like ‘good boys’. If needed, he doesn’t hesitate to tighten his muscles, sometimes may be for the sake of his bosom friends. He doesn’t care going in complete informal dress even for formal meetings. He doesn’t mind indulging in arguments and showing off his anger anywhere and anytime. When he fights with his wife (and he fights quite frequently), sometimes the neighbors need to intervene for the sake of the peace and harmony of the locality. He enjoys going to "disc" and bar, with a glass and a "baby" around. But yes, since he is a bad boy who looks really smart, who never gives lecture on moral teaching, he never runs short of company. A "bindas" companion, people love to be with.

But is "good" really good and "bad" really bad? Somebody told me that "too good is really boring". Maybe sometimes we need to be a little bit "naughty-witty" instead of plain "good" to make this life more thrilling adding some spice. But we need to be careful while adding spice, too much of spice may upset your stomach. Well……….I wrote it just for fun. No intension of hurting anyone’s sentiment. In reality, nobody is completely good and nobody is completely bad. There’s nothing like black and white in real World. Aren’t we all just different shades of gray instead?

The manager of a large corporation got a heart attack, and the doctor told him to go for several weeks to a farm to relax. The guy went to a farm, and after a couple of days he was very bored, so he asked the farmer to give him some job to do. The farmer told him to clean the shit of the cows. The farmer thought that to somebody coming from the city, working the whole life sitting in an office, it will take over a week to finish the job, but for his surprise the manager finished the job in less than one day. The next day the farmer gave to the manager a more difficult job: to cut the heads of 500 chickens. The farmer was sure that the manager will not be able to do the job, but at the end of the day the job was done. The next morning, as most of the jobs in the farm were done, the farmer asked the manager to divide a bag of potatoes in two boxes: one box with small potatoes, and one box with big potatoes. At the end of the day the farmer saw that the manager was sitting in front of the potatoes bag, but the two boxes were empty. The farmer asked the manager: "How is that you made such difficult jobs during the first days, and now you cannot do this simple job?" The manager answered: "Listen, all my life I'm cutting heads and dealing with shit, but now you ask me to make decisions.

I went to the cinema the other day and in the front row was an old man and with him was his dog. It was a sad funny kind of film, you know the type. In the sad part, the dog cried his eyes out, and in the funny part, the dog laughed its head off. This happened all the way through the film. After the film had ended, I decided to go and speak to the man. "That's the most amazing thing I've seen," I said. "That dog really seemed to enjoy the film." The man turned to me and said, "Yeah, it is. He hated the book."
A butcher is leaning on the counter toward the close of day when a dog with a basket in its jaws comes pushing through the door.
"An' wot's this then?" he asked. The dog knocks the basket sharply into the butcher's shins.
"You dumb dog." As he reaches down to smack the dog, he notices a note and a ten dollar bill in the basket.
The scribble on the note asks for three pounds of his best mince [ground beef]. The butcher figures this is too easy. He goes to the window and reaches for the dried up stuff that's been sitting out all day.The dog growls at him. The butcher turns around and, glaring at the pup, gets the best mince from the fridge. Weighing out about 2 1/2 pounds, he drops in on the scale with his thumb.
"Hmmmmm, a bit shy. Who'll know?"
Again, the dog growls menacingly. "Alright, alright," as he throws on a generous half pound. He wraps it out, drops it in the basket, and drops in change from a five. The dog threatens to chew him off at the ankles. Another five goes in the basket.The butcher is quite impressed and decides to follow the piddy pup home. The dog quickly enters a high-rise buildings, pushes the lift button, enters the lift, and then pushes the button for the 12th floor. The dog walks down the corridor and smartly bangs the basket on the door. The door opens, and the dog's owner screams at the dog.
"Hey, what are you doing? That's a really smart dog you've got there," comments the butcher.

IQ Car - a smart car for the future!

As urban roads and highways become increasingly congested with traffic, one of the latest trends in automaking is the extreme downsizing of the car. The Smart Car has done very well in Europe with its ultrasmall size, modern design and great gas mileage, while the MINI Cooper and other MINI models have reemerged to immense popularity.

Toru Yamanaka/Getty Images Katsuaki Watanabe, president of Japan's auto giant Toyota Motor, introduces the fuel-efficient and low-emission iQ Car.

These vehicles have proven to be a boon for people looking to save on gas money and skip out on parallel parking, but there's one obvious aspect that drivers are forced to sacrifice with an ultracompact car -- the availability of space. Some might be able to get by fine in a tiny car, but travelers or larger families might have trouble carrying bigger loads with just two seats and very little trunk space.

Toyota is attempting to address this dilemma with its own take on the minicar, a four-seat passenger vehicle called the iQ Car. At just under 10 feet long and about 5-and-a-half feet wide, the iQ is an example of innovative design and technology -- everything from the seating arrangements to the miniaturized front console controls is taken into account. Although it's slightly bigger than Daimler-Chysler's Smart Car, it's still much smaller than the average 14- or 15- foot-long compact car. The iQ is also in clear competition with the Smart Car, as both names are obvious references to resourcefulness.

IQ car specs

The iQ Car concept came to life at ED2, Toyota's European design facility in Nice, France, and debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007. One of the first things people usually wonder about a minicar is what kind of engine powers it. Is it a gasoline engine? Is it a hybrid? Is it a pure electric car?

John MacDougall/AFP/Getty Images Rumors about Toyota partnering with Yamaha on the iQ suggest the minicar will come equipped with a motorcycle engine.

The iQ appears to have none of the above. Since it's still technically a concept at this point, not much is known about what's under the iQ's hood, but rumors suggest that Toyota is partnering with Yamaha to make a 1-liter motorcycle engine. Although the company hasn't released any further information regarding engine capacity or the number of cylinders, a motorcycle engine may translate to good gas mileage if the iQ's weight is kept low. Still, the two companies may end up unveiling something completely different by the time 2008 comes to an end.

So how does Toyota manage to fit three adults and one small child into such a small car? The tires of the iQ are pushed out to the corners and shrunken down to a very low 17 inches, leaving more room for your feet. Initially, the car seems like any other two-seater minicar, but sliding the front seats forward offers two more seats, one for an adult and another for a child. Since the steering wheel doesn't allow the driver's seat to move forward, a small child is able to fit behind the driver, but there's enough room on the passenger side to fit one adult in front and another right behind after adjusting the seat.

Toyota didn't just stop at seating arrangements when managing space. You might not think about it too much, but all the knobs, buttons and gadgets on a car's front console can take up a lot of room. The iQ has all of these technological necessities, but everything's been miniaturized or moved to the steering wheel. Instead of having three separate indicators for speed, rpm and fuel level, a single read-out displays them all together right above the steering column. While audio and navigation controls usually take up most of a center console, those choices are put in the driver's hands as they're moved over to the steering wheel.
