Gates of Heaven.
Michael, Andre and Banta [ the Sardarji ] are standing
at the Gates of Heaven, being interviewed by St. Peter.
"Ok Michael, how many times did you cheat on your wife?”
“Let me be honest, St Peter. I've been seeing at least two or three different women a year all my married life”.
"Ok, your car in heaven is that Hyundai 20 there. Goodbye."
St. Peter turns to Andre, "How many times did you cheat on your wife?"
Andre replies, "In fifteen years of marriage, I did cheat on my wife twice."
St. Peter says, "OK, your car in heaven is that Honda Civic. Here are the keys."
Now it is Sardarji Banta’s turn, "And you, how many times did you cheat on your wife?"
Banta lifts his head high, "I am proud to say that in twenty years of marriage, I never cheated.

Now it is Sardarji Banta’s turn, "And you, how many times did you cheat on your wife?"
Banta lifts his head high, "I am proud to say that in twenty years of marriage, I never cheated.
In fact, my beloved
has been dead for two years and I remained celibate the whole
time!"
St Peter replies, "Very impressive...! Your car in heaven is that BMW Z4-M Roadster convertible!”
St Peter replies, "Very impressive...! Your car in heaven is that BMW Z4-M Roadster convertible!”
Michael and Andre are in the heavenly park
waiting for their friend.
Banta arrives in his BMW but is crying.
Michael asks, “Arrre! What's the matter with you? We should be crying. We're stuck with these cheaper models and you got an expensive BMW!"
Between sobs Banta says,

Windows versus Ford.
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX),
Bill Gates
reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,
"If Ford had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments,
Ford
issued a press release stating:
If Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part): 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash.........twice a day. 2.. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3... Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 4.... Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5..... Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads. 6...... The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light. 7....... The airbag system would ask,"Are you sure?" before deploying. 8........ Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 9......... Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car. 10.......... You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off. PS - I'd like to add that when all else fails, you could call "customer service" in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself! Please share this with your friends who love - but sometimes hate - their computer!

Stress management.
email from Sunil Liyanage.
A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and
explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of
water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half
empty or half full?'... She fooled them all .... "How heavy is this
glass of water?" she inquired with a smile. Answers called out ranged
from 8 oz. to 20 oz.
She replied , "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how
long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I
hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case
it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it
becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we
carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes
increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."
"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and
rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on
with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practised.
So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.
Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... Pick them up
tomorrow.
1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days
you're the statue!
2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat
them.
3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the
middle of it.
4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their
Maker.
5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
6 * If you lend someone £20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it.
7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.
8 * Never buy a car you can't push.
9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then
you won't have a leg to stand on.
10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.
13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty
and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours,
but they all have to live in the same box.
18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
19 * Have a great day and know that someone has thought about you
today.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY
20 *Save the earth..... It's the only planet with chocolate!*
Today someone asked me if I liked you. I laughed, and I said, "Ha!
That's funny!! I absolutely LOVE that woman!! She's funny, caring,
crazy as heck, sweet, beautiful, she's reading this email right now & I
love her!!" Send this to ten ladies you love!! & I better be one!!!!
Be the kind of woman that when your feet hit the floor each morning the
devil says~~ "Oh Crap, She's up!"
