A 12-year-old American lad asked his father, who was an economics professor at Harvard, how American capitalism worked. "Well" said his dad, "I make money. That is Capital. Your mother runs the home. That is Management, while the maid, who is Labour, does the work. "You are Production, the result of co-operation between Capital and Management, while your baby brother is the Future. "That night the lad heard his baby brother crying because his nappy was dirty, so he went in search of his mother, but she was fast asleep. Eventually he decided to wake the maid, only to find his father hiding behind her bedroom door. His father gane him a wallop and sent him back to bed. The next day he said to his father: "Now I know exactly how capitalism works. "Management is asleep, Capital is exploiting Labour, Production is hard hit, and the Future stinks!"

Being an Indian, I have the right to fly any airline but Air India. I
have the right to curse workers on Indian airports for the little bit
courtesy I receive and eulogize the clerks and police on other airports
for their rude behaviour. Being an Indian I have the undeniable right to
try to smuggle electronic goods into India and then pay a bribe to get
them officially into India. Oh yes, nobody else is as anguished about the
corrupt practices of the customs officials as I.
Being an Indian, I have the right to photocopy entire books, no matter
which country I am in. Being an Indian in the US, I am preoccupied with
finding out which airline is the cheapest to fly to India, which telephone
company is the cheapest to call India and this is what I talk with my fellow
Indians most of the time. Sometimes I find the 78 c/min too expensive to call,
so either I pay a crook a few bucks and talk with my family for half an hour
with the courtesy of the perpetually loss making Indian telephone dept, or I
ask my father to search for a connection in the telephone dept. Being an
Indian, I have the right to buy something which I cannot afford, use it for
some time, then return it for full refund.
Being an Indian, I must read India Today and other Indian magazines (hidden
clause: I shouldn't have to pay for it) and then lecture for hours how India
is going to dogs. Being an Indian, I have the right to lament India's
performance at Asian Games and Olympics, although I am not good at any sport,
neither do I have a liking for any. I used to love cricket when India was world
champion, but now I despise it because India loses to Pakistan most of the time.

The Gift
----------
A young man wished to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart's
birthday, and as they had not been dating very long, after careful
consideration, he decided a pair of gloves would strike the right
note...romantic, but not too personal.
Accompanied by his sweetheart's younger sister, he went to Sears and
bought a pair of white gloves. The younger sister purchased a pair of
panties for herself.
During the wrapping, the clerk mixed up the items and the sister got
the gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without checking the
contents, he sealed the package and mailed it to his sweetheart along
with this note:
Darling,
I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of
wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your
sister,
I would have chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears short
ones that are easy to remove.
These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me
the pair she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were
hardly soiled. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really
smart.
I wish I was there to put them on you for the first time, as no doubt
other hands will come in contact with them before I have a chance to
see you again.
When you take them off, remember to blow in them before putting them
away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing.
Just think how many times I will kiss them during the coming year. I I
hope you will wear them for me on Friday night.
All my love,
P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur
showing.

The X = X + 1 Syndrome
When an Indian professional becomes a 'Non-Resident Indian' in the
United States, he soon starts suffering from a strange disease. The
symptoms are a fixture of restlessness, anxiety, hope and nostalgia.
The virus is a deep inner need to get back home. Like Shakespeare
said, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." The medical
world has not coined a word for this malady. Strange as it is, it
could go by a stranger name, the "X + 1" syndrome.
To understand this disease better, consider the background. Typically
middle-class, the would be migrant's sole ambition through school is
to secure admission into one of those heavily government subsidised
institutions - the IITs. With the full backing of a doting family and
a good deal of effort, he acheives his goal. Looking for fresh worlds
to conquer, his sights rest on the new world. Like lemmings to the
sea, hordes of IIT graduates descend on the four US consulates to seek
the holiest of holy grails - the F-1 (student) stamp on the passport.
After crossing the visa hurdle and tearful farewell, our hero departs
for the Mecca of higher learning, promising himself and his family
that he will return some day - soon!
The family proudly informs their relatives of each milestone - his
G.P.A., his first car (twenty years old), his trip to Niagara Falls
(photographs), his first winter (parkas,gloves). The two years roll by
and he graduates at the top of his class. Now begins the 'great
hunt' for a company that will not only give him a job but also sponsor
him for that 3" X 3" grey plastic, otherwise known as the Green Card.
A US company sensing a good bargain offers him a job.
Naturally, with all the excitement of seeing his first pay check in
four digit dollars, thoughts of returning to India are far away. His
immediate objective of getting the Green Card is reached within a
year.
Meanwhile, his family back home worry about the strange American
influences (and more particularly, AIDS). Through contacts they line
up a list of eligble girls from eligible families and wait for the
great one's first trip home. Return he does, at the first available
oppurtunity, with gifts for the family and mouth-watering tales of
prosperity beyond imagination. After interviewing the girls, he picks
the most likely (lucky) one to be Americanised. Since the major reason
for the alliance is his long-term stay abroad, the question of his
immediate return does not arise. Any doubts are set aside by the
'backwardnes' of working life, long train travel, lack of phones,
inadequate oppurtunities for someone with hi-tech qualifications, and
so on.
The newly-weds return to America with the groom having to explain the
system of arranged marriages to the Americans. Most of them regard it
as barbaric and on the same lines as communism. The tongue-tied bride
is cajoled into explaining the bindi and saree. Looking for something
homely, the couple plunges into the frenetic expatriate week-end
social scene compromising dinners, videos of Hindi/regional films,
shopping at Indian stores, and bhajans.
Initially, the wife misses the warmth of her family, but the presence
of washing machines, vacuum cleaners, daytime soap operas and the
absence of a domineering mother-in-law helps. Bits of news filtering
through from India, mostly from returning Indians, is eagerly lapped
up.
In discussions with freinds, the topic of returning to India arises
frequently but is brushed aside by the lord and master who is now
rising in the corporate world and has fast moved into a two garage
home - thus fulfilling the great American Dream. The impending arrival
of the first born fulfills the great Indian Dream. The mother-in-law
arrives in time: after all, no right thinking parent would want their
off-spring to be born in India if offered the American alternative.
With all material comforts that money can bring, begins the first
signs of un- easiness - a feeling that somehow things are not what
they should be. The craze for exotic electronic goods, cars and
vacations have been satiated. The week-end gatherings are becoming
routine.
Faced with a mid-life crisis, the upwardly mobile Indian's career
graph plateu's out. Younger and more aggressive Americans are
promoted. With one of the periodic mini recessions in the economy and
the threat of a hostile take-over, the job itself seems far from
secure.
Unable or unwilling to socialize with the Americans, the Indian
retreats into a cocoon. At the home front,the children have grown up
and along with American accents have imbibed American habits
(cartoons,hamburgers) and values(dating). They respond to their
parents' exhortation of leading a clean Indian way of life by asking
endless questions.
The generation gap combines with the cultural chasm. Not surprisingly,
the first serious thoughts of returning to India occur at this stage.
Taking advantage of his vacation time, the Indian returns home to
'explore' possibilities. Ignoring the underpaid and beaurocratic
government sector, he is bewildered by the 'primitive' state of the
private sector. Clearly overqualified even to be a managing
director/chairman he stumbles upon the idea of being an entrepreneur.
In the seventies, his search for an arena to display his buisness
skills normally ended in poultry farming. In the eighties, electronics
is the name of the game. Undaunted by horror stories about government
red tape and corruption he is determined to overcome the odds - with
one catch. He has a few things to settle in the United States. After
all, you can't just throw away a lifetime's work. And there are things
like taxation and customs regulations to be taken note of. Pressed for
a firm date, he says confidently 'next year' and therein lies our
story. The next years come and go but there is no sign of our
McCarthian freind.
In other words if 'X' is the current year, then the objective is to
return in the 'X + 1' year. Since 'X' is a changing variable, the
objective is never reached. Unable to truly melt in the 'Great Melting
Pot', chained to his cultural moorings and haunted by an abject fear
of giving up an accustomed standard of living, the Non-Resident Indian
vacillates and oscillates between two worlds in a twilight zone.
Strangely, this malady appears to affect only the Indians - all of our
Asian brethren from Japan, Korea and even Pakistan - seem immune to
it.

Bill Gates, Andy Grove, and Jerry Sanders (CEOs of MicroSoft,
Intel, and AMD, in
case you didn't recognize one (or more?!) of the names) were in a
high-powered
business meeting. During the serious, tense discussions,
a beeping noise suddenly is emitted from where Bill is sitting.
Bill says, "Oh,
that's my emergency beeper. Gentlemen, excuse me, I really need to
take this
call." So Bill lifts his wristwatch to his ear and begins talking
into the end
of his tie. After completing this call, he notices the others are
staring at
him. Bill explains, "Oh, this is my new emergency communication
system. I have
an earpiece built into my watch and a microphone sewn into the end
of my tie.
That way, I can a take a call anywhere." The others nod, and the meeting
continues.
Five minutes later, the discussion is again interrupted when Andy starts
beeping. He also states, "Oh, that is my emergency beeper. Excuse me,
gentlemen, this must be an important call." So Andy taps his
earlobe and begins
talking into thin air. When he completes his call, he notices the others
staring at him and explains, "I also have an emergency
communication system.
But my earpiece is actually implanted in my earlobe, and the
microphone is
actually embedded in this fake tooth. Isn't that neat?"
The others nod, and the meeting continues.
Five minutes later, the discussion is again interrupted when Jerry
emits a
thunderous fart. He looks up at the others staring at him and
says, "Uhh,
somebody get me a piece of paper... I'm receiving a fax."

ARRANGED MARRIAGE: THE SEARCH FOR BEAUTY
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
( A collection of tips to find a beautiful wife)
If you are a typical, single, Indian man who lives in the USA, the
time will come when it will dawn on you that the only chance you have
to indulge in wedded bliss lies in the hallowed institution of the
"Arranged Marriage". You probably left India when you were twenty-one,
having squandered your adolescence striving to get here. At this
point, you are twenty-five or older, and have been out of touch with
the general Indian female population for more than a decade. All the
women you know back home are married. This manual is written for those
of you who harbor hopes of acquiring a beautiful arranged bride.
If you belong to the rarified set of intellectuals to whom the
external female form holds no charms, and those who evaluate others
according to the quality of their inner selves, this manual is not for
you. Before you stop reading, please accept my heartiest
congratulations on your self control and ideological correctness. I
am not worthy of even addressing you (kneel! kneel!).
No, this manual is for the rest of you, mere mortals, who still have
enough red blood in their veins so that you can admit, even to
yourselves, that you rather like the idea of having a beautiful wife.
Of course, before I even go about describing how to acquire beauty, it
is necessary to define it. And this is where I expect the most
disagreement. There will be those among you who proclaim, "But beauty
is in the eye of the beholder!" And you would be partly right.
If you are a man who equates beauty to facial attractiveness, there is
not much that this manual can do for you. You are a very fortunate
man, for Indian women have the most beautiful faces of any race in the
world. You have a very large pool to choose from, and you do not need
much help in choosing, because you can look at each prospective
bride's face and decide whether she is beautiful or not.
No, this is written for those who would like their wife to have a good
figure too. For you, the job is harder. Typically, Indian women do not
get much physical exercise, and consequently, if they are not scrawny,
tend to be on the overweight side. Why do you think sarees are so
popular in India? Because they can hide all the embarrassing bulk!
Some men think that Indian women do not have shapely legs by reasons
of genetics. I say to them, check out the figures of the IA (ABCD to
you politically incorrect guys) women. They are on par with anything
I have seen on any other race. This is because IA women work out and
take care to keep themselves in shape. You cannot go covering yourself
up around here, not if you want to get dates.
If you are one of those academic types who have not given much thought
to the matter, or merely one of those blighters who like to ask
intelligent questions to which you already know the answers, and ask
me, "But why does one NEED a beautiful wife?" I would reply that
beauty is a double edged sword. It has its advantages and
disadvantages, some of which I summarize below.
Advantages of having a beautiful wife.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
a) A beautiful girl is much easier to adjust to than an
unattractive one. You will be much more tolerant of her faults during
the initial "adjustment" phase of marriage, simply because you will
not have the heart to get irritated with someone so lovely. She will
be much easier to forgive after a fight.
b) If you are the typical desi engineer, you will not be exactly
Adonis Reborn. If your wife is homely too, your child will probably
look like the Swamp Thing, or the Blob. If you love your unborn
children, you owe it to them to give them a beautiful mother.
c) A beautiful wife enhances your social stature. People will
look at you and think, "How the ^&*% did that !@## land such a
gorgeous babe? He must have something that is not visible on the
outside!" You will get invited to more parties, especially by men who
want to spend the evening drooling at her. Conversely, if your wife is
homely, you will be rather embarrassed to take her to gatherings of
your friends, especially if they are all married to knockouts.
d) And most importantly, sex will be much better if your wife is
good-looking. Otherwise, after a couple of years when the pent-up
horniness of the past 25+ years has worn off, you probably will not be
even able to get it up, unless you resort to ungentlemanly and
undignified tactics, like fantasising about Sridevi when you are in
bed.
Disadvantages of having a beautiful wife.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
a) If you are one of those for whom innocence, virtue, and
chastity are important, beautiful women are not for you. My empirical
research shows that, while beauty (or the lack of it) in a woman is in
no way indicative of her intelligence, beautiful women are invariably
very street-smart. They KNOW that they are good looking, and have got
used to people bending over backwards to accommodate them. This dawns
on them very early on in life, when they observe that teachers are
much nicer to them than to their less-attractive friends, when almost
all the men they encounter behave like brainless, testeterone-driven
apes in their presense, when they observe that they get things done
twice as quickly in a government office .
As a teenager in college, a beautiful woman would have had lots of men
vying with each other for her friendship and affections. She would
have to be more than human not to have enjoyed the attention. She
would have played the men one against the other, as women have done
since time immemorial. She might have dated, and even had affairs. In
the process, she would get to know men all too well, and would realize
that they are but putty in the hands of a good-looking woman.
b) A good-looking woman is more than a match for the average desi
engineer. She will twist you around her little finger and make you
jump through hoops. Things will get done her way nearly all the time.
Of course, it will be fun to jump through hoops for someone as lovely
as she is. A homely woman, on the other hand, will usually be so
grateful to you for marrying her that she will treat you like a king.
c) As I mentioned before, a beautiful woman is unlikely to be
particularly virtuous or righteous. But that is okay, since too much
virtue often goes hand-in-hand with rather undesirable traits. A
virtuous woman may also be ugly, weird, boring, hyper-religious or
frigid.
d) A beautiful woman is more likely to "stray" after marriage
too. This is the USA, and the fact that a woman is married does not
make her off-limits to adventurers or would-be Casanovas. The more
lovely a woman is, the more likely is she to be propositioned by her
male colleagues or friends. Ergo, she is subject to much more
temptation than her homely counterparts. Think about this... how
would it be if women kept asking you, a man, to make love to them? How
many times would you refuse?
How to go about selecting a beautiful wife.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
First of all, there is the matter of mentioning the fact to your
parents. If your parents are anything like mine, they will freak out
when they hear that their dear devoted son is actually interested in
earthy things like beauty (and, by extrapolation, sex). It is not
considered good form to say that beauty is important to you in Indian
circles.
Here is a very important tip... do not leave bride-hunting to your
parents! Beauty is going to be the last of their priorities, coming
after caste, horoscopes, family background, perceived virtue of the
girl etc. Make it very clear to them that beauty is high on your list
of priorities. State in no uncertain terms that you will not marry
anyone who does not measure up to your standards. That will prevent
them from goofing off during bride-hunting, shirking their
responsibilities and palming off some family-friend's daughter on you.
Another unpalatable fact is that your mother will not want you to
marry someone too beautiful. This often comes as a surprise to most
sons, but the reason is simple. Mothers know that, sooner or later,
there will be a tussle between her and her daughter-in-law over her
son's affections and loyalties. Since women are extremely conscious
of their looks and tend to rate themselves accordingly, a beautiful
woman has a psychological advantage over a less attractive one in an
argument. Also, your mother knows that a beautiful wife will tilt the
scales against her as far as you are concerned, since such a wife will
probably have you dangling by the balls, if you pardon the expression.
So, left to herself, your mother will limit her search to women who
are less attractive than she perceives herself to be.
Before you start on your bride-hunting, you should convince yourself
that you deserve a beautiful wife. Do not ever think, "But I am not so
good-looking anyway, what right have I to demand a lovely girl?"
Since Man started walking the earth, it has been the man's wealth that
has been traded off for the woman's beauty. Rest assured that your
looks will be the last thing on a girl's mind when she rates you as a
prospective husband. (I am limiting myself to arranged marriages
here). She will be weighing your earning potential, green-card
potential etc. Even in this land of feminism, "Cosmopolitan" has
articles on "How to hook a rich husband" and "The ten best places to
meet successful men".
You have worked hard, and wasted ten of the most wonderful years of
your life getting where you are. You deserve to get something out of
it. Do not squander your bargaining position. In other words, do not
be ashamed to make your preference for beauty known.
How to check whether she is beautiful.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
First of all, never consent to marry a girl whom you have seen only in
photographs. PHOTOGRAPHS LIE!!!! Photography is an art that can make
HKL Bhagat look like Zeenat Aman. All too often, photographs sent to
prospective suitors contain only the face. Also, they usually have
been so air-brushed and sanitized, all the pimples and other
irregularities removed, that the end product has little in common with
the original. Also, it is a certain fact that no woman will consent to
send you photograph that presents herself in an unflattering light.
These days, in the urban areas of India, it is often the practice to
take an album-full of pictures of a girl when she gets to marriageable
age. These pictures show the girl in various outfits, eastern and
western. The album is then sent to prospective grooms-in-the-states.
During my last visit to India, I learned from an authoritative source
that many of these pictures are blatant forgeries, involving splicing
the girl's head on to the figure of some other girl, sometimes
professional models. In one case, pictures of a girl's good-looking
sister were went out instead. Bottom line: do not make a decision
based merely on photographs!
Darshan.
^^^^^^^
Once you see the girl directly, you can easily check whether her face
measures up. The figure is a different matter altogether. Women have
conducted more research into packaging themselves than have been
conducted on the entire US space effort. You should realize that,
while you were struggling in your engineering program in undergraduate
on grad school, women were learning the techniques of camouflage. She
KNOWS that it is her looks that count. By packaging herself so that
she seems attractive to a non-resident Indian for about 10 minutes,
she can earn all that it took the NRI 10 years of hard work to
realize. Women are extremely honest with their friends about their
positive and negative points. They are intensely aware of their flaws,
and work systematically towards concealing them.
So, if she seems to have a liking for loose, flowing sarees or
salwar-kameez, keep your mind open to the possibility that she may be
overweight. That fold of her saree draped oh-so-elegantly across her
midriff might be concealing a paunch. It it is wound demurely around
her back, she probably has spare tires. Does she walk slowly and
sedately, like an old Spanish galleon making its way across the seas?
She is probably holding her paunch in.
So what do you do if she always appears in such clothes? You cannot
very well demand that she change clothes... that would be outrageously
bad form. AND SHE KNOWS THAT! One way to approach such a problem is
the following. Tell her that she cannot wear a saree in the states,
that it would be embarrassing for you. Tell her that if she is not
willing to wear jeans, shorts and pants on a regular basis, you are
probably not a good choice for her. Subtly hint that you would like to
see her in western clothes. If she refuses flat-out, my friend, you
can be sure that she is hiding something. If she has a good figure,
she will make damned sure that you see it.
A large percentage of women in India have huge hips and very heavy
thighs. This is mainly due to lack of exercise. In a saree or
churidar, it is impossible to check for these, which is why they are
so popular. If a woman states that she does not wear pants, warning
bells should ring in her mind. One way to check for obesity under a
saree or salwar is to note the relative positions of her bosom and
midriff. For a woman with a good figure, the bosom should be at a
considerably higher level. If she dresses so that the bosom does not
stand out, it is almost surely because she has a paunch that comes to
the same level. Or she may be droopy, saggy or totally flat.
Let me reiterate, if a girl has something to show, she will make
damned sure that you will see it.
One way to see how your prospective bride looks when she is not
dressed up is to ask to see her family albums. NOT the ones that they
keep out ostentatiously but the ones that they keep tucked away at the
corner of the shelf. A lot of overweight women go through crash diets
during the wedding season, starving themselves or going to
professional "fat-farms" to lose dozens of pounds, to get into
presentable shape for the darshan. I know of one woman who lost 60
pounds in 8 months preparing for the wedding. She quickly gained it
all back after the marriage. Pictures of the woman taken 2 or 3 years
ago should tell you whether she is inclined to obesity.
If, on the other hand, she is a thin woman who has padded herself up
to look good on darshan day, there is no way on earth that you can
tell. The best way to check for this sort of stuff is to enlist the
help of a sympathetic, liberated, female, friend, sister or other
relative. She can easily see through the disguise and give you
unbiased estimates of the interior. So, if you have a sister, you had
better start being nice to her.
I hope you will find my article useful. Happy hunting!

How to Win Arguments
I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an
argument on any topic, against any opponent. People know this, and
steer clear of me at parties. Often, as a sign of their great
respect, they don't even invite me. You too can win arguments.
Simply follow these rules:
* Drink Liquor.
Suppose you're at a party and some hotshot intellectual is expounding
on the economy of Peru, a subject you know nothing about. If you're
drinking some health-fanatic drink like grapefruit juice, you'll hang
back, afraid to display your ignorance, while the hotshot enthralls
your date. But if you drink several large martinis, you'll discover
you have STRONG VIEWS about the Peruvian economy. You'll be a WEALTH
of information. You'll argue forcefully, offering searing insights
and possibly upsetting furniture. People will be impressed. Some
may leave the room.
* Make things up.
Suppose, in the Peruvian economy argument, you are trying to prove
Peruvians are underpaid, a position you base solely on the fact that
YOU are underpaid, and you're damned if you're going to let a bunch
of Peruvians be better off. DON'T say: "I think Peruvians are
underpaid." Say: "The average Peruvian's salary in 1981 dollars
adjusted for the revised tax base is $1,452.81 per annum, which is
$836.07 before the mean gross poverty level."
NOTE: Always make up exact figures.
If an opponent asks you where you got your information, make THAT
up, too. Say: "This information comes from Dr. Hovel T. Moon's study
for the Buford Commission published May 9, 1982. Didn't you read it?"
Say this in the same tone of voice you would use to say "You left
your soiled underwear in my bath house."
* Use meaningless but weightly-sounding words and phrases.
Memorize this list:
Let me put it this way
In terms of
Vis-a-vis
Per se
As it were
Qua
So to speak
You should also memorize some Latin abbreviations such as "Q.E.D.,"
"e.g.," and "i.e." These are all short for "I speak Latin, and you do
not."
Here's how to use these words and phrases. Suppose you want to say:
"Peruvians would like to order appetizers more often, but they don't
have enough money."
You never win arguments talking like that. But you WILL win if you
say: "Let me put it this way. In terms of appetizers vis-a-vis
Peruvians qua Peruvians, they would like to order them more often,
so to speak, but they do not have enough money per se, as it were.
Q.E.D."
Only a fool would challenge that statement.
* Use snappy and irrelevant comebacks.
You need an arsenal of all-purpose irrelevent phrases to fire back
at your opponents when they make valid points. The best are:
You're begging the question.
You're being defensive.
Don't compare apples and oranges.
What are your parameters?
This last one is especially valuable. Nobody, other than
mathematicians, has the vaguest idea what "parameters" means.
Here's how to use your comebacks:
You say As Abraham Lincoln said in 1873...
Your opponents says Lincoln died in 1865.
You say You're begging the question.
OR
You say Liberians, like most Asians...
Your opponents says Liberia is in Africa.
You say You're being defensive.
* Compare your opponent to Adolf Hitler.
This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent is obviously
right and you are spectacularly wrong. Bring Hitler up subtly. Say:
"That sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler might say" or
"You certainly do remind me of Adolf Hitler."
So that's it: you now know how to out-argue anybody. Do not try to
pull any of this on people who carry weapons.

Subject: Fun to be a bachelor
You all would agree ...
Life is indeed cruel to men. When they are born their mothers get
compliments and flowers, when they get married their brides get
presents and publicity and when they die their wives get the
sympathies and the insurance money. I sincerely believe that
whosoever termed the fair sex as the weaker sex has done an unfair
thing since the weaker sex is indeed the stronger sex because of
the weakness of the stronger sex for the weaker sex.
The world is full of men who convert this weakness into a lifelong
bondage, euphemistically called 'marriage'. Alas, they forget that as
bachelors they were longingly looked upon by the weaker sex as 'a
thing of beauty and BOY forever' and they roamed around like a
rolling stone that gathers no boss. But unwittingly, like fools,
they rush into a venture where even angels fear to tread. They are
perhaps too innocent to realise that marriage is the name of the
game where the man loses his bachelor's degree and the woman gets
her master's degree.
But different bachelors have different compulsions to walk into
this bondage. Sometimes stealing a kiss leads to 'life
imprisonment' - a perfect example of crime and punishment. Some
others walk into this trap after calculating that it is cheaper to
marry a girl and keep her home than not to marry and take her out.
But those who marry in haste repent in leisure also. It is true
that marriages are made in heaven but when the couple join hands on
the earth it becomes just another union that defies management. As
the resonance of the wedding recede into the background the notes of
discord start appearing and the 'better half' starts looking like
the bitter half. It does not take long for the man to wonder what
happened to the girl he married and for the girl to wonder what
happened to the man she didn't. But most often the discord happens
on account of the average husband's ambition to be able to afford
what his wife is spending. As it always happens in such cases,
the joint account is never over-drawn by the wife, it is always
under-deposited by the husband.
Old couples however say that such differences between husband and
wife are only spice of conjugal relationships; for, where there is no
difference there must be a vast degree of indifference. The
harmony arising out of love is the essence that sustains marital
happiness. It has certain well defined secrets. To be happy with a
man you must love him a little and understand him a lot. To be
happy with a woman you have to love her a lot and understand her a
little. Mutual trust and confidence is the other touchstone of
marital harmony, as every husband expects himself to be his wife's
first love while every wife hopes herself to be her husband's last
romance.
In the ultimate analysis, however, marriage turns out to be an
American cafeteria: you choose what you like and pay for it
later. What you pay and how much you pay depends upon your
luck. For, it takes quite a bit of luck to make a wife out of a
woman. Remember! God created Woman after Man, and ever since then she
has been after man.

YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN ON THE COMPUTER TOO LONG WHEN ...
When you are counting objects, you go "0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D...".
When asked about a bus schedule, you wonder if it is 16 or 32

When your wife says "If you don't turn off that damn machine and
come to bed, then I am going to divorce you!", and you chastise
her for omitting the else clause.
When you are reading a book and look for the space bar to get to the
next page.
When you look for your car keys using: "grep keys /dev/pockets"
When you look for your homework using: "grep homework /dev/backpack"

balls.
Owner of the course must approve equipment before play may begin.
Unlike regular golf, the object of the game is to get the club into the hole

damage to the course.
The object of the game is to take as many strokes as possible, until the course
owner is satisfied.

Son: Dad, I have to do a special report for school. Can I ask you a
question?
Father: Sure son. What's the question?
Son: What is Politics?
Father : Well, lets take our home for example. I am a wage earner, so lets
call me "Capitalism". Your mother is the administrator of money, so we'll
call her "Government". We take care of your needs, so we'll call you "The
People". We'll call the maid "The Working Class", and your baby brother we
can call "The Future". Do you understand , Son?
Son : I'm not really sure, Dad. I'll have to think about it.
That night, awakened by his baby brother crying, the boy went to see what
was wrong. Discovering that the baby had seriously soiled his diaper, the
boy went to his parent's room and found his mother sound asleep. He went to
the maid's room, where, peeking through the keyhole, he saw his father in the
bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went totally unheeded by his father
and the maid, so the boy returned to his room and went back to his sleep.
The next morning he reported to his father. Dad, now i think i understand
what politics is.
Father : Good Son. Can you explain it to me in your own words?
Son : Well Dad, while Capitalism is screwing the Working Class, Government
is sound asleep, the People are being completely ignored and the Future is
full of crap.

5. Some even doubt he wrote it by himself
6. It may be true that he created the world, but what has he done since then?

For Mature Mathematicians
Once upon a time (1/t) pretty little Polly Nomial was strolling
across a field of vectors when she came to the boundary of a
singularly large matrix. Now Polly was convergent, and her mother
had made it an absolute condition that she must never, ever enter
such an array without her brackets on. Polly, however, who had
changed her variables that morning and was feeling particularly
badly behaved, ignored this condition on the basis that it was
insufficient, and made her way in amongst the complex elements.
Rows and columns closed in on her from all sides. Tangents
approached her surface, and she became tensor and tensor. Quite
suddenly, two branches of a hyperbola touched her at a single
point. She oscillated violently, became unstable, lost all sense of
directrix, tripped over a square root that was protruding from the
erf, and plunged headlong down a steep gradient. She was completely
divergent by the time she reached the turning point. When she
rounded off once more, she found herself inverted, apparently alone
in a non-euclidean space.
She was being watched, however. That smooth operator, Curly Pi, was
lurking inner product. As his eyes devoured her curvilinear
coordinates, a singular expression crossed his face. He wondered,
was she convergent? He decided to integrate improperly at once.
Hearing a common fraction behind her, Polly rotated and saw Curly
Pi approaching with his lower series extended. She could see at
once his degenerate conic and his dissipative terms, and knew he
was irrational. "Arcsinh!" she gasped.
"Hey, what's your sine?" he asked. "What a symmetric set of
asymptotes you have!"
"Stay away from me!" she protested. "I haven't got any brackets
on!"
"Calm yourself, my dear!" said the smooth operator. "Your fears are
purely imaginary."
"i, i, ..." she thought, "Prehaps he's not normal, but homologous."
"What order are you?" the brute suddenly demanded.
"Seventeen," replied Polly.
Curly leered, "I suppose you've never been operated upon?"
"Of course not. I'm absolutely convergent!" Polly replied quite
properly.
"Come on," said Curly: "Let's go to decimal place I know of, and
I'll take you to the limit."
"Never!" gasped Polly.
"Abscissa!" he swore a violent oath. Coshing her over the
coefficient with a log until she was powerless, Curly removed her
discontinuities. He stared at her significant places, and began
smoothing her points of inflection. Poor Polly Nomial! The
algorithm method was now her only hope. She felt him approaching
her asymptotic limit. Her convergence would soon be gone forever.
There was no mercy; Curly was a heavy side operator. His radius
squared itself and Polly's loci quivered. He integrated by parts.
He integrated by partial fractions. After he cofactored, he
performed Runge-Kutta on her. He even went all the way around and
did a contour integration. Curly went on operating until he
satisfied her hypotheses, then he exponentiated and became
completely orthogonal.
When Polly got home that night, her mother noticed that she was no
longer piecewise continuous, but had been truncated in several
places. But it was too late to differentiate now. As the months
went by, Polly's denominator increased monotonically. Finally, they
took her to L'Hopital and generated a small but pathological
function which left surds all over the place and drove Polly to
deviation.
The moral of this tale is: "If you want to keep your expressions
convergent, never allow them a single degree of freedom."

A couple, age 67, went to the doctor's office. The doctor asked,
"What can I
do for you?" The man said, "Will you watch us have intercourse?" The doctor
looked puzzled but agreed. When the couple had finished, the doctor said,
"There is nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse," and he charged
them
$32.00. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an
appointment, have intercourse, pay the doctor, and leave. Finally the doctor
asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?" The old man said,
"We're not trying to find out anything. She is married and we can't go to
her
house. I am married and we can't go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges
$60.00. The Hilton charges $78.00, we do it here for $32.00 and I get back
$28.00 from Medicare for a visit to the Doctor's office."
