INDIANS ARE VERY SUBSERVIENT TIMID LOT. THERE IS NOT ONE JOKE ABOUT NEHRU OR INDIRA THOUGH RAJIV GANDHI PROVED THE EXCEPTION AS WE SEE BELOW,///////////////// "GHAR GHAR MEIN SHOR HAI: RAJIV GANDHI CHOR HAI!" (THERE IS OUTCRY EVERYWHERE, "RAJIV GANDHI IS A THIEF!") THIS JOKE ORIGINATED AFTER HE IS SAID TO HAVE TAKEN $50MILLION AS COMMISSION FROM THE BOFORS GUN COMPANY.////////////// BUT PAKISTANI SENSE OF HUMOUR IS PUNJABI. HENCE THE JOKES ARE SHARPER. TASTE SOME OF THEM BELOW. ///////////// Zardari Jokes BANNED by Pakistani Authorities/////////// Pakistan’s President Zardari has tasked his country’s top investigation agency to go after those who send, receive, or forward funny or derogatory text messages about the country’s President .////////////// Anyone sending or receiving jokes about Zardari will now become liable for a 14-year jail sentence. Temporarily, many Pakistanis who have so far been enjoying sending and reading funny text messages about their President have reverted to sending messages without any mention of Zardari. Bloggers and mainstream Pakistani media have called the new rules ‘Draconian’ and many others contended that such laws would actually encourage further ridicule of the Pakistani President who is consistently portrayed in these text messages as a thief, a dog, a traitor or a demon. //////////// Here are some of those text messages that have angered the Pakistani establishment: ///////////// 1. Scratch & Win:////////// lllllllllllll lllllllllli llllllllri lllllari lllardari “Zardari” Mubarik Ho aapka KUTTA Nikla Hai.////////////// (Congratulations. It’s a dog.) ////////// 2. Long Lines://///////// A man standing in a long line for food tells the others in the line that he is leaving the line to go to shoot the President. He returns after a few hours and rejoins the line. “Did you manage to kill him“? everyone asks. “No, that line is longer than this one“, he replied ! ////////// 3. Robber meets Zardari://////// Robber: “Give me all your money!” Zardari: “Don’t you know who I am? I am Asif Ali Zardari.” Robber: “OK. Give me all my money.” //////////// 4. TV anchor announcing://////////// Terrorists have kidnapped our beloved Zardari and are demanding $5,000,000 or they will burn him with petrol. Please donate what you can. I have donated five litres. ///////////// 5. Postmaster General announcing: To commemorate the ascension to the Presidency, Pakistan Post has officially launched a new stamp. But the people of Pakistan are confused which side on the stamp to spit on. /////////// 6.Announcement in Zardari’s official plane: Mr. President, we are about to land. Could you please put Sherry Rehman (former Information Minister) in an upright position. Thank you. ////////////// 7. Two Dogs:////////// Upset with Zardari his dog jumped into a dirty sewer. Said it’s not fair for two dogs to live under one roof. /////////// 8. Pakistani meets American: Pakistani to American: What do you guys do with thieves? American: We treat them humanely and give them nice food, warm clothes and long jury trials. Pakistani: That’s nothing. We give them the Presidency. ///////////// 9. Genie meets Pakistani: Genie to Pakistani: Order me, my Master. What can I do for you? Pakistani to Genie: Bring me all the wealth in the Swiss bank. Genie: My name is Genie, not Zardari. /////////// 000000000
