The mind of an Indian - email sent by Kirubs
Subject: The mind of the Indian....
Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.
He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business for
two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer tells him that
the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Indian
man hands over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front
of the bank.
He produces the title and everything checks out. The loan officer
agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank's
president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian for
using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An
employee of the bank then drives the Ferrari into the bank's
underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the
interest, which comes to $15.41. The loan officer says, "Sir, we are
very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked
out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we
checked you out and found that you are a multi-millionaire. What
puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000'" The Indian
replies: "Where else in
New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and
expect it to be there when I return'"
Ah, the mind of the Indian...

English - Indian variant - email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai
We've all talked to this guy. At last, a picture of him.
Mujibar was trying to get a job in India .
The Personnel Manager said, 'Mujibar,
You have passed all the tests, except one. It is a simple test of your English language skills
Unless you pass it , you cannot qualify for this job.'
Mujibar said, 'I am ready.'
The manager said, You must make a sentence using the words
Yellow, Pink, and Green .'
Mujibar thought for a few minutes and said,
'Mister manager, I am ready.'
The manager said, 'Go ahead.'
Mujibar said,
'The telephone goes green, green,
And I pink it up, and say,
Yellow, this is Mujibar.'
Mujibar now works at a call centre.
No doubt you have spoken to him.
