Each morning the brahmanas gathered on the bank of the holy Ganges and offered their prescribed prayers to the Lord.
Each of them brought with him a copper vessel for offering water.

Unfortunately, because these copper vessels were indistinguishable from one another, they were always getting mixed up between brahmanas.
So one old brahmana got into the habit of placing a lump of clay from the riverbank in his own vessel before taking bath.
That way, when he returned, he’d be able to distinguish his offering cup from the rest.

But the other brahmanas thought that the placing of a clay ball in one’s cup before taking bath must be an esoteric ritual.
So not wanting to appear ignorant of the fine points of brahminical observances, they all started placing clay balls in their cups before going for bath.
Thus when the old brahmana came from the river, he again found it hard to locate his own copper vessel.

“Fie on these imitators!” he groaned as he examined the different vessels, trying to pick out his own. “Without understanding the reason for anything, they just follow blindly. Despite their big learning and priestly positions in society, they have no common sense.”

A priest, a minister and a repairman sat discussing the best positions for prayer, while a telephone repairman worked nearby.
"Kneeling is definitely the best  way to pray," the priest said.

"No," said the minister. "I get the best results standing with my hands outstretched to Heaven."

"You're both wrong," the guru said. "The most effective prayer position is lying down on the floor."

The repairman could contain himself no longer. "Hey, fellas," he interrupted.
"The best prayin' I ever did was when I was hangin' upside down from a telephone pole by one leg............"

The mind of a bigot is like the pupil of the eye.
The more light you shine on it, the more it will contract.

Did you ever wonder?

"Dad, what are those holes in the wood?" "Those are knotholes."
"If they’re not holes, what are they?"

The difference between a neurotic and a psychotic is that,
while a psychotic thinks that 2+2=5,
a neurotic knows the answer is 4, but it  worries him.

The Gurukul teacher paid a visit to little Govinda's house one day.

When little Govinda opened the door, she asked "Govinda, are your father and mother in?"

"They was in, but they is out." he answered.

The teacher gasped, "Why, Govinda, it is 'They were in, they are out' Where's your grammar?"

"She's upstairs having a nap."

The class was being given a course in first aid. The question was asked,
"What would you do if you had a younger sibling who swallowed a house key?"

After a pause, little Manika answered, "I'd climb through the window!"

A big executive boarded a New York to Chicago train. He explained to the porter, "I'm a heavy sleeper, but I want you to be sure and wake me up at 3:00 am for the stop in Buffalo. I don't care what I say, you just make sure I get off in Buffalo."

The next morning the executive woke up in Chicago. He was furious. He found the porter and really gave him an earful before hustling off to purchase a return ticket.

After he left, a co-worker said to the porter, "How can you stand there and let that passenger abuse you like that?"

"That's nothing," said the porter. "You should have heard the guy who I put off in Buffalo at 3:00 am !"

At the Gurukul last week a teacher was trying to teach the gurukulis an English class:

TEACHER: Mitravinda, please use the words "defeat," "defense," and "detail" in a sentence.

MITRAVINDA: The rabbit cut across the field, and defeat went over defense before detail.

You're in incredible shape," the doctor said. "How old are you again?"

"I am 78." The man said.

"78?" asked the doctor. "How do you stay so healthy?
You look like a 60 year old."

"Well, my wife and I made a pact when we got married that whenever she got mad she would go into the kitchen
and cool off and I would go outside to settle down." the man explained.

"What does that have to do with it?" asked the doctor.

"I've pretty much lived an outdoor life."

Why I Was Late For Work...

A guy in St. Louis was driving to work on Highway 144 when he heard a 'pop'. He thought it sounded like a flat tire, though his ride wasn't affected.

After pulling over, checking the tires and finding them intact he opened the hood to look at the motor. Before the hood was even all the way open he jumped back in shock and knocked his head on the partially opened hood, unable to believe what his eyes were seeing!

Nobody was going to believe this....you sure wouldn't have either! Fortunately, a coworker with a camera recognized him along side the road and stopped to see if he could help. Check out the pic-of-the-day below to witness for yourself the source of his amazement. (If you have pictures off, you will have to turn them on.)

Now, this has to be right up there at the top of the list of unusual, but verified, "Reasons I Was Late for Work!"

I knew the car was making hissing sounds, but come on!

PHILOSOPHY, n. A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.
