		<description><![CDATA[There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle. When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appears. Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, he said, &#8220;Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to become, and then your wish will come true.&#8221; The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted &#8220;WINE&#8221;. The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine.  The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool. Next is the Russian&#8217;s turn, he did the same and shouted, &#8220;VODKA&#8221; and immersed himself into a pool of vodka. The German was next and he jumped and shouted, &#8220;BEER&#8221;.  He was so contented with his beer pool. The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, &#8220;SH**!!!!!!!&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;IT&#8221; MORAL OF THE STORY: Mind your language; you never know what it will land you in Related posts:Case [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago in a small village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The Moneylender , who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer&#8217;s beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgive the farmer&#8217;s debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. 1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father&#8217;s debt would be forgiven. 2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father&#8217;s debt would still be forgiven. 3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer&#8217;s field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked [...]

		<description><![CDATA[A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track. The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. a) You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. b) Or would you rather let the train go its way? Let&#8217;s take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make&#8230; &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;. Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. Most  think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place? Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind [...]
