A mother and a baby camel were lazing around, and suddenly the baby camel asks  

 

Baby : Mother, mother, can I ask you some question?

 

Mother: Sure! why son, is there something bothering you?

 

Baby : Why do camel have humps?

 

Mother: Well son, we are desert animals, we need the humps to store water and we are known to survive without water.

 

Baby : Okay, then why are our legs long and our feet rounded?

 

Mother: Son, obviously they are meant for walking in the desert. You know with these legs I can move around the desert better than anyone...! Said the  mother proudly.

 

Baby : Okay, then why are our eye lashes long? Sometimes it is bothering my sight.

 

Mother: My son, those long thick eye lashes are your protective cover. They help to protect your eyes from the desert sand and wind. Said  mother camel with eyes brimming with pride .

 

Baby : I see. So the hump is to store water when we are in the desert, the legs are for walking through the desert and these eye lashes protects my eyes from the desert. Then what the hell are we doing here in the zoo???

::::::  Old Story  ::::::

 

Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.

 

Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster.

 

He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.

 

Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life.

 

He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.

 

"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"

 

So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."

 

The man sent a bill that read:

 

 

Tapping with a hammer   $ 2.00

Knowing where to           $ 9998.00

::::::  Puppies for Sale  ::::::

 

A store owner was tacking a sign above his door that read "Puppies for Sale." Signs like that have a way of attracting small children, and sure enough, a little boy appeared under the store owner's sign. "How much are you going to sell the puppies for?" he asked.

 

The store owner replied, "Anywhere from $30 to $50."

 

The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. "I have $2.37," he said.

"Can I please look at them?"

 

The store owner smiled and whistled and out of the kennel came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his store followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur.

 

One puppy was lagging considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging, limping puppy and said, "What's wrong with that little dog?"

 

The store owner explained that the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn't have a hip socket. It would always limp. It would always be lame.

 

The little boy became excited. "That is the puppy that I want to buy."

 

The store owner said, "No, you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll just give him to you."

 

The little boy got quite upset. He looked straight into the store owner's eyes, pointing his finger, and said, "I don't want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you $2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."

 

The store owner countered, "You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies."

 

To his surprise, the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the store owner and softly replied, "Well, I don't run so well myself, and the little puppy will need someone who understands!"

::::::  My Boss is Always Famous  ::::::

 

 

A truly enjoyable story, very apt reading on

 

It's a fine sunny day in the forest, and a lion is sitting outside

his cave, lying lazily in the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.

 

 

Fox: "Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"

Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"

Fox: "Hmm. But it's a very complicated mechanism,

 

           and your great claws will    only destroy it even more"

Lion: "Oh no, give it to  me, and it will be fixed"

Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions with great Claws

 

         cannot fix complicated watches"

Lion: "Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"

 

 

The lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes back with the  watch which is running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and the lion

continues to lie lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with himself.

 

 

 

 

Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in the sun.

Wolf: "Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because mine is broken"

Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix your TV for you"

Wolf: "You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you?

 

           There is no way that a lazy lion with big claws can fix a complicated  TV"

Lion: "No problem. Do you want to try it?"

 

 

The lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with a perfectly fixed TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.

 

 

Scene: Inside the lion's cave. In one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent looking rabbits who are busily doing very complicated work with very

detailed instruments. In the other corner lies a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.

A new vacuum cleaner salesman knocked on the door on the first house of the street. A tall lady answered the door.

 

Before she could speak, the enthusiastic salesman barged into the living room and opened a big black plastic bag and poured all the cow droppings onto the carpet.

 

"Madam, if I could not clean this up with the use of this new powerful Vacuum cleaner, I will EAT all this dung!" exclaimed the eager salesman  .
