Middle class mentality

-

Umbrella man : Umbrellas for sale, Rs.20 per umbrella !

Mr.Middle class : Hi, can you give it for Rs.15 ?

Umbrella man somehow wants to make a deal, as this will be his first sale for the day

Umbrella man : Sure Sir, please have it.

Mr.Middle class reads the umbrella man's mind and makes up his, to bargain further as that guy seemed flexible!

Mr.Middle class : Can you give it for Rs.10 ?

Umbrella man : Ah, well ...ok sir, you can have it.

Mr.Middle class : well, I somehow feel Rs.10 is too much for this...ok, am finally asking this for
Rs.5...if you can give, i'll buy it

Umbrella man : (after a pause)...Sir, you are my first customer since morning..you can take it
for free..

Mr.Middle class : Wowwowow !! that's fabulous ! errr...well then...ah...can u give me two ?

Umbrella man : !!!!!!!!! (faints)

Do you honestly think a man can bargain like that?? Naah.. it must have been a woman..Men dont have it in them to cleverly bargain..speaking of bargaining, i remember something I had read somewhere - "A man while shopping would buy a thing he needs for twice the price..A woman while shopping would buy a thing that she doesnt need for half the price"..

@anonymous: nice work! The first few lines compliment womenfolk, and the last part of the comment just tilts the table the other way!!

What you're about to read is an actual resignation note (unedited version) that my manager-friend received from one of his team members. "Hello, I will not cum in office from today onwords.I fell down in the road last friday while returning from the office near madivala flyover. I right leg and right shoulder got little damage. As per the doctor advise I have to take 30 to 45 days rest to recovar campletly. Since I going to Australia far MBA in feb last weak I Can't join the job again after my recovary far shart period. So I decided to dis-continue my work from today onwords. I really sorry far the inconvenience caused to resigning my job. Tanks for the great suport and copration from u r compayny. I yum resign." Atleast, 'I will not cum in office' was pardonable to a certain extent, since it gave my friend a hearty laugh. But, 'I yum resign' was the last straw to break the camel's back. After reading that last sentence, my friend felt like

It is beyond my doubt that whoever wrote the following 'gems', must've been helplessly inebriated, or had an extremely important errand to run, or lost control over one's bladder, or skipped at least one square meal before he/she actually wrote it. I mostly think it must've been one of those chappies working at the restaurant, for I believe chappies have an innate tendency to shut their minds off and drop their jaws open instead, when they encounter delicious, lip-smacking and mouth-watering food -- Take me, for instance -- Show me a plateful of echt Bhel-Poori and a woman-full of zeal and oomph -- you can never buy me for the latter! Anyway, coming back, thanks to Sarvajnya for capturing and sharing these precious writings, directly from the buffet table of a desi restaurant in Amreeka , whose name I don't wish to disclose! I don't know if the cuisine in this restaurant hydrated the eaters' tongues, but I can tell for sure that the following caption

Token of appreciation

It was more than a ritual in my friend's ex-company to offer on-the-spot gratuities (really hefty ones) to their employees who made outstanding contributions to their respective projects. One such competitive employee, in spite of having exhibited his profound skills, was neither apprised in a just manner nor given the due credits. By due credits, I mean the impromptu gratuities I was talking about in the first line -- I believe, these were termed "Bravo awards". The frustrated employee, who was no longer able to endure the injustice thrown upon him, once poured out his indignant feelings to his immediate supervisor, stating that the supervisor better honour him with at least a "Bravo". The supervisor, who was a new hire himself, did not know what "Bravo" meant; neither the true meaning of the word nor the company's lingo. Obviously, the employee meant the latter. Ignorant of these facts, the rookie searched for the "synonym" of the wo
