Marwari ishtyle of selling….

14 05 2011

A keen immigrant Indian Marwadi boy applied for a salesman’s job at  London’s premier downtown dept store. In fact, it was the biggest  store in the world – you could get anything there.

The boss asked him, “Have you ever been a salesman before?”  ”Yes sir, I was a salesman in India”, replied the boy.

The boss liked the cut of him and said,  ”You can start tomorrow, I’ll come and see you.”

The day was long and arduous for the young man,  but he got through it. And finally 6:00 pm came around.

The boss duly fronted up and asked,  ”How many sales did you make today?”

“Sir, Just ONE sale.” said the young salesman.  ”Only one sale?” blurted the boss.  ”No! No! You see here, most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day”.  ”If you want to keep this job, you’d better be doing better than just one sale.

By the way “How much was the sale worth?”  ”50,500/- pounds” said the young Marwadi.  ”What”, how did you manage that?” asked the flabbergasted boss.

“Well”, said the salesman, “This man came in and I sold him a small fish hook,  then a medium hook and finally a really large hook.
Then I sell him new fishing rod and some fishing gear.  Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast.
So I told him he’d be needing a boat, so I took him down to the boat department  and sold him that twenty-foot schooner with the twin engines.  Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn’t be able to pull it, so I took him  to our automotive department and sold him that new Deluxe 4X4 Blazer.

I then asked him where he’ll be staying, and since he had no accommodation,  I took him to camping dept and sold him one of those new igloo  6-sleeper camper tents.  Then the guy said, “while we’re at it, I should throw in about $100  worth of groceries  and two cases of beer.

The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment, ”You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook!!”

“No” answered the salesman,  ”he came in to buy a box of Sanitary napkins for his wife and I said to him,  ”Sir, your weekend’s screwed anyway. You might as well go fishing.”





Three Accountants

14 05 2011
Three accountants were in the bathroom standing at the urinals.

The first accountant finished and walked over to the sink to wash his hands. He then proceeded to dry his hands very carefully. He used 3 paper towels and ensured that every single spot of water on his hands was dried.

Turning to the other two accountants, he said, “At Price Waterhouse Coopers, we are trained to be extremely thorough.”

The second accountant finished his task at the urinal and he proceeded to wash his hands. He used a single paper towel and made sure that he dried his hands using every available portion of the paper towel.

He turned and said, “At KPMG, not only are we trained to be extremely thorough, but we are also trained to be extremely efficient.”

The third accountant finished, pulled up his zipper and walked straight for the door, shouting over his shoulder, “At Shah & Patel, we don’t piss on our hands.”

Quotes

29 03 2011

It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.

The teacher said, “Let’s begin by reviewing some American History. Who said ‘Give me Liberty , or give me Death’?”

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up:?’Patrick Henry, 1775′he said.

‘Very good! Who said ‘Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?”

Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. ‘Abraham Lincoln , 1863′ said Chandrasekhar.

The teacher snapped at the class, ‘Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about our history than you do.’

She heard a loud whisper: ‘F ___ the Indians,’ ‘Who said that?’ she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. ‘General Custer, 1862.’

At that point, a student in the back said, ‘I’m gonna puke.’

The teacher glares around and asks ‘All right! Now, who said that?’ Again, Chandrasekhar says, ‘George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.’

Now furious, another student yells, ‘Oh yeah? Suck this!’

Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, ‘Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky,1997′

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said ‘You little shit. If you say anything else, I’ll kill you.’ Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, ‘Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.’

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, ‘Oh shit, we’re screwed!’ And Chandrasekhar said quietly, ‘I think it was Lehmann Brothers, November 4th, 2008′.

A tribute to Married life…

7 12 2010

Wife: ‘What are you doing?’
Husband: Nothing.
Wife: ‘Nothing? You’ve been reading our marriage certificate for an hour.’
Husband: ‘I was looking for the expiry date.’

Wife : ‘Do you want dinner?’
Husband: ‘Sure! What are my choices?’
Wife: ‘Yes or No.’

Wife: ‘You always carry my photo in your wallet. Why dear?’
Hubby: ‘When there is a problem, no matter how great, I look at your picture and the problem disappears.’
Wife: ‘You see how miraculous and powerful I am for you.’
Hubby: ‘Yes! I see your picture and ask myself what other problem can there be greater than this one?’

Girl: ‘When we get married, I want to share all your worries, troubles and lighten your burden.’
Boy: ‘It’s very kind of you, darling, but I don’t have any worries or troubles.’
Girl: ‘Well that’s because we aren’t married yet.’

Son: ‘Mum, when I was on the bus with Dad this morning, he told me to give up my seat to a lady.’
Mom: ‘Well, you have done the right thing.’
Son: ‘But mum, I was sitting on daddy’s lap.’

A newly married man asked his wife, ‘Would you have married me if my father hadn’t left me a fortune?’
‘Honey,’ the woman replied sweetly, ‘I’d have married you, no matter WHO left you a fortune!’

Girl to her boyfriend: One kiss and I’ll be yours forever.
The guy replies: ‘Thanks for the early warning.’

A wife asked her husband: ‘What do you like most in me, my pretty face or my sexy body?’
He looked at her from head to toe and replied: ‘I like your sense of humour!’

A man was sitting reading his papers when his wife hit him round the head with a frying pan.
‘What was that for?’ the man asked.

The wife replied ‘That was for the piece of paper with the name Jenny on it that I found in your pants pocket’.

The man then said ‘When I was at the races last week and Jenny was the name of the horse I bet on.’

The wife apologized and went on with the housework.

Three days later the man is watching TV when his wife bashes him on the head with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him unconscious.

Upon regaining consciousness the man asked why she had hit again.

Wife replied: ‘Your Horse phoned!!!’





Whoz smart?

9 10 2010

A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.

She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.

The frog said to her, “If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.”

The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, “Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes.

Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!”

The woman said, “That’s okay.”

For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.

The frog warned her, “You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to”.

The woman replied, “That’s okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me.”

So, KAZAM-she’s the most beautiful woman in the world!

For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world.

The frog said, “That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you.”

The woman said, “That’s okay, because what’s mine is his and what’s his is mine.”

So, KAZAM-she’s the richest woman in the world!

The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, “I’d like a mild heart attack.”

Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don’t mess with them.

Attention female readers : This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here
and continue feeling good.

Suicide Blonde

A blonde hurries into the emergency room late one night with the
tip of her index finger shot off.

“How did this happen?” the emergency room doctor asked her.

“Well, I was trying to commit suicide,” the blonde replied.

“What?” sputtered the doctor. “You tried to commit suicide by
shooting your finger off?”

“No silly!” the blonde said. “First I put the gun to my chest,
and I thought: I just paid $6,000.00 for these breast implants,
I’m not shooting myself in the chest.”

“So then?” asked the doctor.

“Then I put the gun in my mouth, and I thought: I just paid
$3000.00 to get my teeth straightened, I’m not shooting myself in
the mouth.”

“So then?”

“Then I put the gun to my ear, and I thought: This is going to
make a loud noise. So I put my finger in the other ear before I
pulled the trigger.”
