joke for the day: Joke1. In a divorce court a woman requested the judge: "Your honor, I want to divorce my husband." "But why ?" asked the judge. She replied, "Because he is not faithful to me." The judge asked, "How do you know ?" She replied, "My lord, not a single child resembles him." Joke 2. Dad, I was away for a week. Yesterday I sent a fax to my wife I'd be home that night, and when I got into my room I found my wife in another man's arms. Why, Dad ? Tell me why!" Dad kept silent for a few minutes, then coolly said, "Maybe, Son, she didn't get the fax."

Speech by Thomas Friedman of The New York Times.... "When we were young kids growing up in America, we were told to eat our vegetables at dinner and not leave them. Mothers said, 'think of the starving children in India and finish the dinner.' And now I tell my children: 'Finish your maths homework. Think of the children in India who would make you starve, if you don't.'"

One more thought... We should only compare Hinduism with Christianity, because these two are broad-minded religions and there is so much freedom to talk anything and do anything. We cannot compare this with Islam - Islam is like Army/Military. There is a strict discipline - you cannot do whatever you want, or talk whatever you think. If Islam sounds stupid for you, then, Military discipline is also stupid.... You cannot compare apples with oranges - compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges. will stop here... looks like I am talking too much - thanks to everybody for your patience!

Hi Malak, I just want to let you know that there are more jokes on Mary and Jesus than any Hindu God. There is a recent Hollywood movie on Christ - see that. In India, because we (Hindus) are majority, we crack jokes on ourselves; but not Muslims or Christians, cause they are minority. If anybody tries to talk negatively about Hinduism in USA, it will become a big issue, where as if they talk non-sense about Christianity, the majority people don't care. I will tell you a small incident happened recently at my house. I have a Telugu christian friend - and they were at my home. We are so close - and they are very religious. While going out, I was about to put my shoes on and I noticed a hole in one of the sox. My friend's wife commented that "it's a holy sox"! In fact, I felt bad for the comment, because we know how sacred is the word "holy" for Christians. But in USA, Christians, as majority, don't mind making such comments on themselves (just as we, Hindus, do in India). This works for anything, not just for religion. For example, if there are 10 Telugus meeting in USA, we talk and say - how bad are our Telugus, and we blame ourselves saying Tamilians are great, they are united etc. etc. But, if two Tamilians join the meeting, we stop talking like that. If those Tamilians say or talk anything bad about Telugus, we all 10 will protest ;-) Am I wrong? This is basic human mentality. So, don't worry too much. Of course, what you said is right, and we should not make fun of our Hindu gods, but if somebody does it, don't feel tooooo bad. :-) Cheers!

Guys, If doesnt hurt u Can I ask you to spare the mythological characters like Gandhari from Dirty Jokes? Just felt like saying it out - if we insult our own culture, who esle would respect it .. Sorry to be frank and have my apologies if I sounded "too idealistic" "rude" or "sreeranganeethulku" type! :)) But I do like the other jokes though!

MahaBharat ke Kisse ... Dhritrashtra: "Main khush hun ki tumne sau putron ko janam diya hai." Gandhari: "Swami agar aap andhe nahin hote to ye sambhav nahi tha" =========== In some remote village of India, one masterji is teaching the Mahabharat Katha to class 6 students. He is at the 'krishna Janma' part of it. Masterji: "Kans heard the akashwani that his sister's 8th child is going to kill him. He was furious. He ordered to put vasudev & devaki behind the bars. First son is born, and kans kills him by poisoning... Second one is born n kans throws him off the mountain peak. Third one is born... & so on ..." Now Ramu, who is smartest of the lot, puts up his hand: "Masterji, I have a doubt (sounding nervous n confused)". Masterji: "Ramu bete, whole india does not have doubt in mahabharata then how come you have one?" Ramu: "Masterji, if Kans knew that Devaki's 8th child was going to Kill him, WHY THE HELL DID HE PUT VASUDEV AND DEVAKI IN THE SAME CELL?"
