Japanese Hotel Service.

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai

A Canadian salesman checked into a futuristic hotel in Tokyo Japan ... 

Realising he needed a haircut before the next day's meeting, 


he called down to the desk clerk to ask if there was a barber on the premises. 

'I'm afraid not, sir,' the clerk told him apologetically, 
'but down the hall from your room is a vending machine that should serve your purposes.' 

Skeptical but intrigued, the salesman located the machine, inserted 15.00 Yen, 
 
and stuck his head into the opening, at which time the machine started to buzz and whirl. 
 
Fifteen seconds later the salesman pulled out his head and surveyed his reflection, 
which reflected the best haircut of his life. 

Two feet away was another machine with a sign that read,  

'Manicures, 20.00 Yen'.  

'Why not?' thought the salesman. He paid the money, inserted his hands into the slot, 
and the machine started to buzz and whirl. Fifteen seconds later he pulled out 
his hands and they were perfectly manicured. 

The next machine had a sign that read, 
'This Machine Provides a Service Men Need When Away from Their Wives, 1 Yen.' 

The salesman looked both ways, put one Yen in the machine, 
unzipped his fly, and with some anticipation, stuck his manhood into the opening. 
When the machine started buzzing, the guy let out a shriek of agony
and almost passed out. Fifteen seconds later it shut off.. 

With trembling hands, the salesman was able to withdraw his tender unit... 
.....which now had a button sewn neatly on the end..

Seeing a ghost.

This is the story related by a male teacher to his class of youngsters to keep them amused.

'It was a rainy night and the electric power in his house had got cut off. He had called out to his wife who was working in the kitchen. She had shouted back saying 'wait a minute'. He was seated in the dark facing the door leading to the kitchen when he saw a white porcelain cup and saucer and white shining teeth advancing towards him. He thought he was seeing a ghost and cried out only to be reassured by the voice of his wife saying that it was her. His wife was wearing some dark dress material and was of a dark complexion'.

hi-tech city guy VS farmer(OLDIE!)

email from Gallege De Silva

An old station hand named Billy was overseeing his herd in a remote pasture in the outback when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced toward him out of a cloud of dust.  The driver, a young man in a Brioni® suit, Gucci® shoes, RayBan® sunglasses and YSL® tie, leaned out the window and asked the old man, "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"  Billy looks at the young man, who obviously is a yuppie, then looks at his peacefully grazing herd and calmly answers, "Sure, why not?" The yuppie parks his car, whips out his Dell® notebook computer, connects it to his Cingular RAZR V3® cell phone, and surfs to a NASA page on the Internet, where he calls up a GPS satellite to get an exact fix on his location which he then feeds to another NASA satellite that scans the area in an ultra-high-resolution photo.  The yuppie then opens the digital photo in Adobe Photoshop® and exports it to an image processing facility in Hamburg, Germany ....  Within seconds, he receives an email on his Palm Pilot® that the image has been processed and the data stored. He then accesses an MS-SQL® database through an ODBC connected Excel® spreadsheet with email on his Blackberry® and, after a few minutes, receives a response. Finally, he prints out a full-color, 150-page report on his hi-tech, miniaturized HP LaserJet® printer, turns to Billy and says, "You have exactly 1,586 cows and calves."  "That's right. Well, you'll be helpin yourself to one of me calves, then, since you won it fair en square." says Billy.  He watches the smartly dressed yuppie select one of the animals and looks on with amusement as the man gingerly picks it up & stuffs it into the boot of his car.  As the yuppie is carefully brushing the dust & hair off his suit, Billy says, "Hey, if I can tell you exactly what work you do & where you come from, will you give me back my calf?" The yuppie thinks about it for a second, wonderingwhat this wrinkled up dirt encrusted uneducated old man could possibly know? He grins and then says, "Okay, old fella, why not? I'm a believer in fair play."  "You're a politician & you work in Canberra." says the old timer. "Wow! That's correct," says the yuppie, "but, tell me how on earth did you guess that?"  "No guessing required." answered Billy "You showed up here even though nobody called you; you want to get paid for an answer I already knew, to a question I never asked. You used millions of dollars worth of equipment trying to show me how much smarter than me you are; and you don't know a thing about how working people make a living - or about cows, for that matter. This is a herd of sheep. Now give me back my dog." AND THAT FOLKS IS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS ALL ABOUT.

Mother Superior's advice.

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai.

In a convent in Ireland, the 98-year-old Mother Superior lay dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable. They tried giving her warm milk to drink but she refused it.
 
One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen. Then, remembering a bottle of Irish Whiskey that had been received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.
 
Back at Mother Superior's bed, they held the glass to her lips. The frail nun drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had finished the whole glass down to the last drop.
 
As her eyes brightened, the nuns thought it would be a good opportunity to have one last talk with their spiritual leader
"Mother," the nuns asked earnestly. "Please give us some of your wisdom before you leave us.
 
She raised herself up in bed on one elbow, looked at them and said,
 
"DON'T SELL THAT COW."

'Excuse me, are you the PM?' Indian woman asks Cameron

London: "Excuse me, are you the Prime Minister?", a stunned 27-year-old Indian woman inquired from David Cameron, who chose to travel in a tube train during rush hour.

Sanyogita Mayer who has featured in eight Bollywood films, told Cameron that politicians in her native India would never travel by public transport, the Daily Mail reported.

The Prime Minister, traveling on the London Underground to an appointment because it was quicker than going by car, tried to make a good impression with commuters by complimenting a young mother on her baby.

But the conversation stalled somewhat when the baffled woman had to ask her husband who the strange man was inquiring about their child.

Mayer was traveling with her husband Yanko, 31, and their three-month-old daughter Sayama when Mr Cameron approached them.

Mayer, who recently moved to Westminster from India, said: "We were on our way to go shopping. This man got on at Westminster and came past me and said: "Is it your baby?" "I said 'yes', and he said: "Your baby is really beautiful."

I thanked him for saying that and he moved away but stood near me. I asked my husband: "Who is this man complimenting my baby?" "When he told me it was the Prime Minister I told him to stop joking with me.

"But my husband insisted so I went up to Mr Cameron and I said: "Excuse me, are you the Prime Minister?"

He said "yes" and I started laughing. Then I apologized for having to ask him the question."

"He told me he had a very busy schedule and it was quicker for him to travel by train than go by road," she added.

Cameron, who was accompanied by a bodyguard as he traveled on the Jubilee line, responded by striking up a conversation about her home country.

He told her that he had used the train in Delhi, visited Mumbai and once received a signed cricket ball from Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar.

Mayer, who said she felt compelled to take a photo of the meeting, added: "I was so surprised that a man like him would travel on the Tube and I was very struck by how down-to-earth he seemed."
