1. If time doesn't wait for you, don't worry!
Just remove the damn battery from the clock and Enjoy life!

2. Expecting the world to treat you fairly coz you are a good person is like
expecting the lion not to attack you coz you are a vegetarian.
Think about it.

3. Beauty isn't measured by our outer appearance and what clothes we wear,
but what we are inside .. So, try going out naked tomorrow and see the
admiration!

4. Don't walk as if you rule the world,
walk as if you don't care who rules the world!
That's called Attitude…! Keep on rocking!

5. Every lady hopes
that her daughter will marry a better man than she did
and is convinced that her son will never find a wife as good as his
father did!!!

6. He was a good man. He never smoked, drank had no affair.
When he died, the insurance company refused the claim.
They said, he who never lived, cannot die!

7. A man threw his wife in a pond of Crocodiles?
He's now being harassed by the Animal Rights Activists for being cruel
to the Crocodiles!

8. So many options for suicide:
Poison, sleeping pills, hanging,
jumping from a building, lying on train tracks,
but we chose Marriage, slow sure!

9. Only 20 percent boys have brains, rest have girlfriends!

10. All desirable things in life are either
illegal, banned, expensive or married to someone else!

11. Laziness is our biggest enemy- Jawaharlal Nehru
We should learn to love our enemies- Mahatma Gandhi
(which one you choose?)

12. 10% of road accidents are due to drunken driving.

Which makes it a logical statement that
90% of accidents are due to driving without drinking!

This explains why
I forward some jokes and stuff.

A man and his dog were walking along a road.

The man was enjoying the scenery, when it

suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=17310

He remembered dying, and that the dog

walking beside him had been dead for years.

He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high,

white stone wall along one side of the road.

It looked like fine marble.



At the top of a long hill, it was broken by

a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing

before it he saw a magnificent gate in the

arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and

the street that led to the gate looked like

pure gold. He and the dog walked toward

the gate, and as he got closer,

he saw a man at a desk to one side.

When he was close enough,

he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'



'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.



'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?'

the man asked.



'Of course, sir. Come right in,

and I'll have some ice water brought right up.'

The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
'Can my friend,'
gesturing toward his dog,

'come in, too?' the traveler asked.



'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
The man thought a moment and then

turned back toward the road and continued

the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of

another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading

through a farm gate that looked as if it

had never been closed.
There was no fence.

As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside,

leaning against a tree and reading a book....

'Excuse me!'

he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'



'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over

there, come on in.'



'How about my friend here?'

the traveler

gestured to the dog.

'There should be a bowl by the pump.'



They went through the gate, and sure enough,

there was an old-fashioned hand pump with

a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the water

bowl and took a long drink himself, then

he gave some to the dog. When they were full,

he and the dog walked back toward the man

who was standing by the tree.



'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.



'This is Heaven,' he answered.



'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said.

'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'



'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street

and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.'



'Doesn't it make you mad for them

to use your name like that?'



'No, we're just happy that they screen out the

folks who would leave their best friends behind.'

Soooo. Now you see, sometimes,

when we wonder why friends keep

forwarding jokes to us without

writing a word. Maybe this will explain it.



When you are very busy,

but still want to keep in touch,

guess what you do? You forward jokes.



When you have nothing to say, but still

want to keep contact, you forward jokes.



When you have something to say,

but don't know what, and don't know how....

you forward jokes.



A forwarded joke lets you know that

you are still

remembered, you are still important,
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=17310

you are still loved, you are still cared for.



So, next time if you get a joke,

don't think that you've been sent just another

forwarded joke, but that you've been thought

of today and your friend on the other end

of your computer wanted to send you a smile.

You are welcome at my water bowl anytime!!

A View of the British Press..???

Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers:

• The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
• The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
• The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country;
• The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
• The Financial Times is read by people who own the country;
• The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country;
• And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big ****.

LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE

The most valuable ingredient of a successful life is laughter. It could cure 95% of the daily crisis and challenges. It does a great deal more for us than we give it credit. It introduces new ideas, new people in a gentle way, but with exquisite penetrance. It exposes our human natures. It places our human flaws on the table where they can be addressed. It breaks the tension when things are getting too hot and livens the mood when emotions are too cold. Laughter is the physiological response to humor. Humor reflects intelligence and quickness.
"Laughter occurs when people are comfortable with one another, when they feel open and free. And the more laughter [there is], the more bonding [occurs] within the group," Humor arises when logic and familiarity are replaced by things that don't normally go together. "The act of producing humor, of making a joke, gives us a mental break and increases our objectivity in the face of overwhelming stress," As we mature, both our physical bodies and mental outlooks grow and change.
Laughter can be therapeutic;
Studies have indicated that the ability to see life from the lighter side may be medicinal. Humor can alleviate allergy symptoms, increase pain tolerance, bolster disease fighting immune system, reduce risk of stroke and heart attack and may even help in controlling blood sugar in diabetics.
Laughter also gives your diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg and back muscles a workout. That's why you often feel exhausted after a long bout of laughter -- you've just had an aerobic workout! Sabd Guru on laughter;

ਨਾਨਕ ਸਤਿਗੁਰਿ ਭੇਟਿਐ ਪੂਰੀ ਹੋਵੈ ਜੁਗਤਿ ॥ਹਸੰਦਿਆ ਖੇਲੰਦਿਆ ਪੈਨੰਦਿਆ ਖਾਵੰਦਿਆ ਵਿਚੇ ਹੋਵੈ ਮੁਕਤਿ ॥
Nānak saṯgur bẖeti▫ai pūrī hovai jugaṯ. Hasanḏi▫ā kẖelanḏi▫ā painanḏi▫ā kẖāvanḏi▫ā vicẖe hovai mukaṯ.

O Nanak, meeting the True Guru, one comes to know the Perfect Way. In a life of smiling, playfulness, enjoyment of wear and food, liberation is obtained,
