Do Not Call 911 To<br />
Tell Us Facebook Is<br />
Down: US Police<br />
The official Twitter account for a<br />
police department in the United States<br />
has been forced to ask the public not<br />
to call 911 to report that Facebook is<br />
experiencing issues. Following the<br />
tweet by Bothell Police, social media<br />
users commented, "Funny..I hope we<br />
don’t call you for fixing the internet"<br />
and "Got it, will Tweet instead".<br />
A 68-year-old US man won $24.1 million<br />
(nearly ₹Rs 156 crore) in a lottery after<br />
finding the winning ticket in an old<br />
shirt pocket two days before it was due<br />
to expire. The man had not claimed the<br />
prize for a year and searched for the<br />
ticket after the New York Lottery made<br />
an announcement about the unclaimed<br />
reward.<br />
Jokes Apart!<br />
Identify the Guest<br />
Once Birbal was invited for dinner by a<br />
rich man. When Birbal reached there, he<br />
found himself in a large crowd. The host<br />
greeted him warmly and took him inside.<br />
Birbal said, “I did not know that there<br />
will be so many guests in this gathering.”<br />
The host replied politely, “They are<br />
not guests, Sir. They are my employees<br />
except one who is the only other guest<br />
here besides you. Could you tell who is<br />
that other one guest here?”<br />
“Maybe, I could. Tell them a joke, and I<br />
will observe them.”<br />
The rich man told the joke and<br />
everybody laughed uproariously.<br />
Perhaps this was the worst joke Birbal<br />
had ever heard in his life.<br />
Now the rich man asked Birbal, “I have<br />
told the joke, now you tell me who is<br />
the other guest here?”<br />
Birbal pointed out towards a man and<br />
said, “He is that other guest.”<br />
The rich man was very surprised<br />
hearing this that how could he<br />
recognize the other guest.<br />
He said to him, “You are right Birbal,<br />
but how did you recognize him?”<br />
Birbal said, “Because only employees<br />
can laugh on such a joke. He was the<br />
only person who did not even smile on<br />
your joke, so I immediately recognized<br />
him as the other guest.”<br />
Loving Wife<br />
John bought his new colleague, Peter,<br />
home for dinner. As they arrived at the<br />
door, his wife rushed up, threw her arms<br />
around John and kissed him passionately.<br />
“My goodness,” said Peter, “and how<br />
long have you been married?”<br />
“22 years”, replied John.<br />
“You must have a fantastic marriage if<br />
your wife greets you like that after all<br />
those years.”<br />
“Don’t be fooled! She only does it to<br />
make the dog jealous.”
