Stolen rope

Nilan met Siri, one of his bosom pals after a very long time. When the reason for his not being seen was asked, the latter said that he had been in jail.

“In jail? For what and how long?” asked Nilan.

“I was in jail for two years for taking a rope belonging to another,” said Siri.

“I say, it’s absurd to imprison a person for such a long time for such a menial offence,” said Nilan quite amazed.

“Yes, but there was a bull at the other end of the rope!” said Siri.


Funny interview

About 15 young men gathered near the building in response to an advertisement in the papers. It was for the post of clerk and the manager started the interview. One after the other who came after the interview was over, was nonplussed as the questions asked had not been sensible.

The last one to go, hearing what the previous interviewees had said, went with a firm determination.

After the usual formalities, the manager started the interview. “If the width of that road is 15 ft. what’s my age ?” asked the manager.

Out came the young man’s prompt answer, “Sir, you are 44 years old.”

Though it was not his age, the manager wanted to know how he calculated. Then the young man said,” I have a brother who is half mad. He is 22 years old and you have to be 44 years because you are fully mad”. He was selected.
