New Year wishes... with a change
Two donkeys met at a wayside and got talking. One was a robust looking
fellow who was without a master; the other a miserable looking specimen who
belonged to a brick-kiln owner. The robust fellow hee-hawked: "What's
matter with you?? You look famished and woebegone."
"My master is very cruel. He gives me very little to eat, loads me with
hundreds of bricks and beats me with his stick."
"So! Why don't you run away ?"
The lean-thin donkey explained, "You see my master has a very pretty
daughter. He also beats and abuses her."
"What's that to do with you.?"
"Every time he thrashes the girl he says 'one of these days I'll marry you off to this donkey'. So my job has better prospects, you see."
PRAY YOU REALLY HAVE BETTER PROSPECTS NEXT YEAR!!
Happy New Year !!!

[2] CIA Test
A few months ago, there was an opening with the CIA for an assassin. These highly classified positions are hard to fill, and there's a lot of testing and background checks involved before you can even be considered for the position.
After sending some applicants through the background checks, training and testing, they narrowed the possible choices down to 2 men and a woman, but only one position was available.
The day came for the final test to see which person would get the extremely secretive job. The CIA men administering the test took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances" they explained. "Inside this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."
The man got a shocked look on his face and said, "You can't be serious! I could never shoot my own wife!" "Well", says the CIA man, "You're definitely not the right man for this job then."
So they bring the second man to the same door and hand him a gun. "We must know that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances", they explained to the second man. "Inside you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill her."
The second man looked a bit shocked, but nevertheless took the gun and went in the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes, then the door opened.
The man came out of the room with tears in his eyes. "I tried to shoot her, I just couldn't pull the trigger and shoot my wife. I guess I'm not the right man for the job." "No" the CIA man replied, "You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home."
Now they're down to the woman left to test.
Again they lead her to the same door to the same room and handed her the same gun. "We must be sure that you will follow instructions no matter what the circumstances, this is your final test. Inside you will find your husband sitting in a chair. Take this gun and kill him."
The woman took the gun and opened the door. Before the door even closed all the way, the CIA men heard the gun start firing. One shot after another for 13 shots. They heard screaming, crashing, banging on the walls. This went on for several minutes, then all went quiet.
The door opened slowly, and there stood the woman. She wiped the sweat from her brow and said, "You guys didn't tell me the gun was loaded with blanks! I had to beat him to death with the chair!"

Now, I would like to post a few jokes my friends sent to me...
[1]
One day many years ago at a school in South London a teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds,
"I'll give £20 to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived."
An Irish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St.Patrick." The teacher said, "Sorry Alan, that's not correct."
Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St.Andrew." The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Hamish, that's not right either.
Finally, a Gujarati boy raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ."
The teacher said, "That's absolutely right,Jayant, come up here and I'll give you the £20." As the teacher was giving Jayant his money, she said, "You know Jayant, since you're Gujarati, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ." Jayant replied, "Yes, in my heart I knew it was Lord Krishna, but business is business!"
