He is to me what Hobbes is to him!

Background:
Calvin is a rebellious kid. He doesn’t like school and has problems with education. He is a little dark since he like being a little destructive. But his childish innocence is more charismatic than his mischievous!

His best buddy is Hobbes – His stuffed tiger doll. Hobbes is alive only for Calvin and is portrayed as a lifeless doll by the caricaturist Bill Watterson when there is a third person! So, what Hobbes says is just a figment of Calvin’s own imagination!

Here are a few that I enjoyed and why

The fun is actually in the mundane things you know but just don’t stop to describe it!

They say Math is not about plugging numbers in a formula and solving it. It is about “the approach” and “the angle” at which you look at it. Well, here is the approach and the angle!

Its not enough you arrive at solution to a problem. Its equally important to review it and look if something is wrong with your answer!

Writing (or composition as the sophisticated British call it!) is just as important as math!

Sometimes you have genuine reason for not completing your work at home!

If you are really focused in class, you wouldn’t realize the time pass! Would’nt you?

Knowledge is Power. But did you know it has drawbacks?
Plato, Swami Vivekandanda, Einstein, CV Raman, Jaggi Vasudev… all have a chink in the armour!
Calvin doesn’t!

But don't underestimate Calvin's creativity just because he is into reading, writing and math!

And finally, this is among my all time favourites!

There is always chear…
When Calvin is here!

Communist jokes

A cell in one of the numerous prisons in Soviet Union full of people convicted for nobody knows what..a new man was pushed in by the police. Everybody came running towards him and asked
"How many?", meaning "How many years?".
He said in a sad tone "Ten" :(
"What for?"
"For nothing"
"Why you liar! For nothing they give five years!"

If you liked this joke, or didn't and want a better one than that may be you can check out a related article. More communist jokes are available in a book called "Hammer and Tickle" by Ben Lewis.

Dilbert: Qunati Fiction

Happy laughing!

"Haa haa haaa!" came out the sound of laughter from a group of youngsters-at-heart at a park in bangalore near my brother's home in Bangalore. My father made his presence felt with his joke on his day at the laughter club, thanks to Reader's Digest. This is what he had to say.

A lousy hunter was walking home with drooping shoulders after yet another day's failure when he spotted another hunter struggling to drag a big grizzly bear that he just shot.

"How could you do it?" asked he.
"Its simple! Go in front of the cave, aim your rifle at its entrance and whistle. When the bear comes out, shoot!", said the successful hunter.

After a few days, the latter went to a hospital to treat a bruise he sustained after a minor accident. He found the lousy hunter on the beds heavily bandaged.

"What happened?", asked he.

"I.... tried to ...... execute your advice ..... to kill a bear!", he managed with great difficulty!

Puzzled, the successful hunter verified, "Did you stand in front of the cave?"
"Yes"
"Did you take aim?"
"Yea"
"Did you whistle?"
"Yes"
"What did you see?"
"Trans-siberian express train!"

Well folks, it is not without a reason that I chose this joke that was narrated at a laughter club. Today, being the first Sunday of May, is World Laughter Day.This was celebrated for the first time in a Laughter Yoga club in Mumbai.

More reason to laugh! So, is an extra booster from Dilbert (for an enlarged version) :)

Roll over!

"Ha ha ha", I laughed out aloud to the surprise of a passer-by, as I was walking on the street holding the thin, yellow "Treasury of jokes" by Reader's Digest.

Moments earlier, lazy to flip the pages from the beginning, I chose to read the last joke from the last page which read.....

Patient : "This hospital is no good. It treats us patients like dogs"
Orderly: "You know that's not true. Now, roll over!"
