story time !!

There was an old man who lived alone. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.


.............................Love, Dad


Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For
Heaven's sake, Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!"


At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad.......................... It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral:

NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN THE WORLD, IF YOU HAVE DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DEEP FROM YOUR HEART, YOU CAN DO IT. IT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MATTERS NOT WHERE YOU ARE OR WHERE THE PERSON IS.

srry Mr. Bush ;)

While visiting India , George Bush is invited to tea with the Indian
President Dr. Abdul Kalam.

He asks Kalam what his leadership philosophy is. Kalam says that, it is to
surround himself with intelligent people.

Bush asks how he knows if they're intelligent.

"I do so by asking them the right questions," says Kalam. "Allow me
to demonstrate."

Bush watches as Kalam phones Manmohan Singh and says, "Mr. Prime
Minister, please answer this question: Your mother has a child, and your
father has a child, and this child is not your brother or sister. Who is
it?"

Manmohan immediately responds, "It's me, Sir!"

"Correct. Thank you and good-bye, sir," says Kalam. He hangs up and
says, "Did you get that, Mr. Bush?" Bush nods: "Yes Mr. President.

Thanks a lot. I'll definitely be using that!"

Bush, upon returning to Washington , decides he'd better put Condoleeza Rice to the test.

Bush summons her to the White House and says, "Condoleeza, I wonder if
you can answer a question for me."

"Why, of course, sir. What's on your mind?"

Bush poses the question: "Uhh, your mother has a child, and your father
has a child, and this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is
it?"

Rice is puzzled and finally asks, "Can I think about it and get back
to you, Sir ?" Bush agrees, and Rice leaves. Rice immediately calls a meeting
of senior senators, and they puzzle over the question for several
hours, but nobody can come up with an answer. Finally, in desperation, Rice
calls Colin Powell and explains the problem.

"Mr. Powell, your mother has a child, and your father has a child, and
this child is not your brother or your sister. Who is it?"

Powell answers immediately, "It's me, of course."

Much relieved, Rice rushes back to the White House, finds George Bush,
and exclaims, "I know the answer, sir! I know who it is! It's our
Colin Powell!"

And Bush replies in disgust, "Wrong!!, it's Manmohan Singh!!"
