Millions of stars
Two adventurers John and Jack were camping in the desert. After
roaming all day long under the hot sun, they set up their tent and
fell asleep. Some hours later, John woke up his friend.
"Jack, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Jack looked up and replied, "I can see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" asked John.
Jack thought for a minute and said.
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of
galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it
tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be
approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the
Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant.
Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.
What does it tell you?"
After a moment of silence, John spoke.
"It tells two things to me. First is that...you are an idiot."
Jack looked at John, surprised. "Why do you say so?" he said.
"Because it has still not occurred to you that someone has stolen
our tent." replied John.

Let's Play Schools
Two friends, Jenny and Jinny were thinking what to play during the
afternoon. For a long time, they could not decide upon any game.
Suddenly, Jenny had an idea. She turned to Jinny and said excitedly.
"Let's play schools".
"Okay!" said Jinny. "But I'm going to be absent."

The Chase
Two friends were walking through the woods when they thought they
heard something. They turned around and saw a big black bear coming
towards them. Both men started to run when one of them stopped to
change into tennis shoes.
The second man said 'You don't have time to change shoes. You
can't outrun that bear!'
The first man said, 'I know I can't outrun the bear. I only have
to outrun YOU!'

A Friend in Need
Q: A friend in need is?
A: Someone to avoid!
****************************
One for my friend
Subedar Lakhan Singh and Subedar Shaifuddin were in the same
regiment in the British Indian Army. They were inseparable friends
and spent their evenings drinking together. The partition separated
them. Subedar Shaifuddin was absorbed in the Pakistan Army. Subedar
Lakhan Singh got into the Indian Army.
To keep his friend's memory alive Lakhan Singh always filled two
glasses with rum and water and sipped from each alternately! When
somebody asked him why he did so, he explained: 'This is
Shaifuddin's glass; this one is mine. I take a sip from each - one
on behalf of Shaifuddin, the other for myself.'
Suddenly one evening Subedar Lakhan Singh was seen with only one
glass on his table. When asked what had happened, he replied, 'You
see, I have given up drinking but Shaifuddin has not. So I have put
away my glass and drink only on behalf of my friend.'
