SMILE

By PRIYANKA , XII , K

JUST FOR LAUGHS

* Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

* Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

*Children: You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up.

* If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhoea... does that mean that one enjoys it?

*Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.

*Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

JOKES :
• A relative of mine had gone to immerse his late mother’s ashes in the sea at Varkala, a most revered spot in Kerala for this ritual.
There, bereaved relatives must wait their turn and choose from one of several Hindu priests seated on the beach. After the ritual was performed, the priest received his dakshina, smiled, then handed over his visiting card and said, “Do come back again.”

• A teacher is getting to know her new pupils on the first day of school.
She turns to one little girl and says, “What does your daddy do?”
“Whatever Mummy tells him,” the girl replies.

• “What’s the capital of the United States?” a teacher asked the class.
“Washington, DC,” said one boy.
“And what’s DC?” the teacher continued.
“Dot com,” said the student
