    About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Sikhs had to
    leave Italy
    Naturally there was a big uproar from the Sikh community.So the Pope made a deal
    He would have a religious debate with a member of the Sikh community
    If the Sikh won, the Sikhs could stay. If the Pope won, the Sikhs would leave.
    The Sikhs realized that they had no choice. So they picked a
    middle-aged man named Harbinder Singh to represent them. Harbinder
    asked for one additional condition to the debate.
    To make it more interesting, neither side would be allowed to talk.
    The Pope agreed.
    The day of the great debate came. Harbinder Singh and the Pope sat
    opposite each other for a full minute.
    Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.
    Harbinder looked back at him and raised one finger.
    The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Harbinder
    pointed to the ground where he sat.
    The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine.
    Harbinder pulled out an apple.
    The Pope stood up and said, "I give up. This man is too good. The
    Sikhs can stay."
    An hour later, the cardinals were gathered around the Pope asking him
    what had happened.
    The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent the holy trinity.
    He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was
    still One God common to both our religions.
    Then, I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us.
    He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also
    right here with us.
    Then, I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us
    from our sins.
    He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin.
    He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"
    Meanwhile, the Sikh community had crowded around Harbinder Singh.
    "What happened?" they asked.
    "Well," said Harbinder, "First he said to me that the Sikhs had three
    days to get out of here.
    I told him not one of us was leaving.
    Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Sikhs.
    I let him know that we were staying right here."
    "Yes, and then???" asked the crowd.
    "I don't know", said Harbinder,
    "He took out his lunch, and I took out mine!!
    Balle Balle... Hats off to my Sikh brothers and their sisters...

    Re:another one


    Vajpayee and Bush are sitting in a bar. A guy walks in and asks the
    barman, "Isn't that Bush and Vajpayee?"
    The barman says "Yep, that's them." So the guy walks
    over and says, "Hello, what are you guys doing?"
    Bush says, "We're planning world war 3"
    The guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?"
    And Vajpayee says, "Well, we're going to kill 14
    million Pakistanis and one bicycle repairman."
    And the guy exclaimed, "A bicycle repairman?!! !"
    Vajpayee turns to Bush and says, "See, I told you no-one would worry
    about the 14 million Pakistanis!"

    *******************************************************


    A man is! taking a walk in Central park in New York. Suddenly he sees a
    little girl being attacked by a pit bull dog.
    He runs over and starts fighting with the dog. He succeeds in killing the
    dog and saving the girl's life.
    A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says: "You are a
    hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers:
    "Brave New Yorker saves the life of little girl".
    The man says: "But I am not a New Yorker!"
    Oh then it will say in newspapers in the morning:
    "Brave American saves life of little girl" the policeman answers.
    "But I am not an American!" - says the man. Oh, what are you then?"
    The man says: "I am a Pakistani!"
    The next day the newspapers say: "Extremist kills innocent American dog"
