Spread the Smiles... !!!





This was forwarded by a friend... and after reading it... I could not help but flaunt my pearly whites! I just had to spread the smiles :-) Read on and enjoy... after all its TGIF... !!! I also noticed that my blog's Alexa Traffic Rank has gone up again... to 237,026. One more reason for me... to display my pearly whites... !!! Anyways, here you go...

Each Friday night... after work, Bubbal Singh would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a tandoori chicken and some meat kebabs. But, all of Bubbal's neighbours were strict Catholics... and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating chicken and meat on a Friday.

The delicious aroma from the grilled meats was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their Priest.

The Priest came to visit Bubbal, and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Bubbal attended Mass... and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, ''You were born a Sikh, and raised a Sikh, but now, you are a Catholic."

Bubbal's neighbours were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of tandoori chicken and meat kebabs filled the neighbourhood... once again.

The Priest was called immediately by the neighbours, and, as he rushed into Bubbal's backyard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement. There stood Bubbal, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meats and chanted: "Oye, you waz born a chicken, and you waz born a lamb, you waz raised a chicken, and you waz raised a lamb... but now yara, you are a potato and a tomato!"

  4. Cute! Heard this one? A sardarji came to visit his friend. His friend noticed that both his ears were burnt. So he asked him what happened. The sardar replied " Yaar, i was doing some ironing when the phone rang. By mistake, I put the iron to my ear thinking it was the phone!".

    So the friend says:" That explains one burnt ear. How did you burn the second one?"

    The sardar says: "Some stupid wrong number...!"
