			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Response to a &#8216;Marriage Proposal&#8217; advertisement!<br />
This is in Punjabi English &#8211; Please don&#8217;t laugh, dead serious</strong></p>
<p>Dear Madam:</p>
<p>I am an olden young uncle living only with myself in Lahore. Having seen your advertisement for marriage purposes, I decided to press myself on you and hope you will take me nicely.</p>
<p>I am a soiled son from inside Punjab. I am nice and big, six foot tall, and six inches long. My body is filled with hardness, as because I am working hardly. I am playing hardly also. Especially I like cricket, and I am a good batter and I am a fast baller. Whenever I come running in for balling, other batters start running. Everybody is scared of my rapid balls that bounce a lot.</p>
<p>I am very nice man. I am always laughing loudly at everyone. I am jolly. I am gay. ladies, they are saying I am nice and soft. Am always giving respect to the ladies. I am always allowing ladies to get on top. That is how nice I am. I am not having any bad habits. I am not drinkin and I am not sucking tobacco or anything else. Every morning I am going to the Jim and I am pumping like anything. Daily I am pumping and pumping. If you want you can come and see how much I am pumping the dumb belles in the Jim.</p>
<p>I am having a lot of money in my pants and my pants is always open for you. I am such a nice man, but still I am living with myself only. What to do ? So I am taking things into my own hands everyday&#8230; That is why I am pressing myself on you, so that you will come in my house and my things into your hand.</p>
<p>If you are marrying me madam, I am telling you, I will be loving you very hard every day.. fact, I will stop pumping dumb belles in the Jim. If you are not marrying me madam and not coming to me, I will press you and press you until you come. So I am placing my head between your nicely smelling feet looking up with lots of hope.</p>
<p>I am waiting very badly for your reply and I am stiff wit anticipation.</p>
<p>Expecting soon</p>
<p>Yours and only yours<br />
Choudhary Warraich, born by mother in Okara and become big in Lahore, Punjab</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Enjoy the ride. There is no return ticket.</p>
<p><strong>IF YOU DON&#8217;T READ THIS TO THE VERY END, YOU HAVE LOST A DAY IN YOUR LIFE. AND WHEN YOU HAVE FINISHED, DO AS I AM DOING AND SHARE IT WITH OTHERS.</strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">George Carlin&#8217;s Views on Aging</span></strong></p>
<p>Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we&#8217;re kids? If you&#8217;re less than 10 years old, you&#8217;re so excited about aging that you think in fractions.</p>
<p>&#8216;How old are you?&#8217; &#8216;I&#8217;m four and a half!&#8217; You&#8217;re never thirty-six and a half. You&#8217;re four and a half, going on five! That&#8217;s the key.</p>
<p>You get into your teens, now they can&#8217;t hold you back. You jump to the next number, or even a few ahead.</p>
<p>&#8216;How old are you?&#8217; &#8216;I&#8217;m gonna be 16!&#8217; You could be 13, but hey, you&#8217;re gonna be 16! And then the greatest day of your life ! You become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony.YOU BECOME 21. YESSSS!!!</p>
<p>But then you turn 30. Oooohh, what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk! He TURNED; we had to throw him out. There&#8217;s no fun now, you&#8217;re Just a sour-dumpling.. What&#8217;s wrong? What&#8217;s changed?</p>
<p>You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you&#8217;re PUSHING 40. Whoa! Put on the brakes, it&#8217;s all slipping away. Before you know it, you REACH 50 and your dreams are gone&#8230;</p>
<p>But! wait!! ! You MAKE it to 60. You didn&#8217;t think you would!</p>
<p>So you BECOME 21, TURN 30,  PUSH 40, REACH 50 and makeit to 60.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ve built up so much speed that you HIT 70! After that it&#8217;s a day-by-day thing; you HIT Wednesday!</p>
<p>You get into ! your 80&#8217;s and every day is a complete cycle; you HIT lunch; you TURN 4:30; you REACH bedtime. And it doesn&#8217;t end there. Into the 90s, you start going backwards; &#8216;I Was JUST 92.&#8217;</p>
<p>Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. &#8216;I&#8217;m 100 and a half!&#8217;<br />
May you all make it to a healthy 100 and a half!!</p>
<p>HOW TO STAY YOUNG</p>
<ol>
<li>Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.</li>
<li>Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.</li>
<li>Keep learning. ! Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. &#8216;An idle mind is the devil&#8217;s workshop.&#8217; And the devil&#8217;s  family name is Alzheimer&#8217;s.</li>
<li> Enjoy the simple things.</li>
<li> Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.</li>
<li> The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.</li>
<li>Surround yourself with what you love , whether it&#8217;s family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.Your home is your refuge.</li>
<li>Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t take guilt trips.. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.</li>
<li>Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.</li>
</ol>
<p>AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:</p>
<p>Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. And if you don&#8217;t send this to at least 8 people &#8211; who cares? But do share this with someone. We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!</p>
<p>Life&#8217;s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting &#8216;..holy cow &#8230;.what a ride!&#8217;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.</p>
<p>They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, I&#8217;ll give each of you just one wish.</p>
<p>Me first! Me first! says the admin clerk. I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world. Puff! She&#8217;s gone.</p>
<p>Me next! Me next! says the sales rep. I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life. Puff! He&#8217;s gone.</p>
<p>OK, you&#8217;re up, the Genie says to the manager. The manager says, I want those two back in the office after lunch.</p>
<p><strong>Moral of the story:<br />
Always let your boss have the first say.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour.</p>
<p>Before she says a word, Bob says, Iwill give you £800 to drop that towel. After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob, after a few seconds, Bob hands her £800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs.</p>
<p>When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, Who was that? It was Bob the next door neighbour, she replies. Great, the husband says, did he say anything about the £800 he owes me?</p>
<p><strong>Moral of the story:<br />
</strong>If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A Belgian teenager who had threatened to sue a tattoo artist who left her with 56 stars on her face has admitted she was lying. Kimberley Vlaeminck, 18, claimed that she&#8217;d asked for three small stars but fell asleep during the procedure and woke up with a whole galaxy on her face. Now she&#8217;s confessed she knew exactly what tattoo parlour owner Rouslan Toumaniantz was doing but changed her mind later. Kimberley only made her admission after being caught on a hidden camera by Belgium TV show De Jakhalzen saying the only thing she hadn&#8217;t been sure of were the stars on her nose. She had demanded £10,000 compensation to have the stars removed by laser treatment. Mr Toumaniantz had insisted that she &#8220;got what she wanted&#8221; at the Tattoo Boy studio in Courtrai &#8211; and only complained when her dad got angry and her boyfriend dumped her &#8211; Ananova.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.</p>
<p>As he was walking back he saw Grandma&#8217;s pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching!</p>
<p>Fatima had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch the next day Grandma said, &#8216;Fatima, let&#8217;s wash the dishes.&#8217; But Fatima said, &#8216;Grandma, Ahmed told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.&#8217; Then she whispered to him, &#8216;Remember the duck?&#8217; So Ahmed did the dishes.</p>
<p>Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry but I need Fatima to help make supper.&#8217;</p>
<p>Fatima just smiled and said, &#8216;Well, that&#8217;s all right because Ahmed told me he wanted to help.&#8217; She whispered again, &#8216;Remember the duck?&#8217; So Fatima went fishing and Ahmed stayed to help.</p>
<p>After several days of Ahmed doing both his chores and Fatima&#8217;s, he finally couldn&#8217;t stand it any longer.</p>
<p>He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed  the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, &#8216;Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Fatima make a slave of you.&#8217;</p>
<p><strong>Thought for the day and every day thereafter?</strong></p>
<p>Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done&#8230; and the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.)&#8230;whatever it is&#8230;You need to know that Allah was standing at the window and He saw the whole  thing. He has seen your whole life. He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.</p>
<p>He&#8217;s just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.</p>
<p>The great thing about Allah is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not only forgives you, but He forgets. It is by Allah&#8217;s grace and mercy that we are saved.</p>
<p>Go ahead and make a difference in someone&#8217;s life today. Share this with a friend and always remember: Allah is at the window!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was going through my old emails and come across this. This is different from usual stuff, so I thought that I should share this with you.</p>
<p><strong>Bitchology?</strong></p>
<p>When I stand up for myself and my beliefs, they call me a bitch. When I stand up for those I love, they call me a bitch. When I speak my mind, think my own thoughts or do things my own way, they call me a bitch.</p>
<p>Being a bitch means I won&#8217;t compromise what&#8217;s in my heart. It means I live my life MY way. It means I won&#8217;t allow anyone to step on me. When I refuse to tolerate injustice and speak against it, I am defined as a bitch.</p>
<p>The same thing happens when I take time for myself instead of being everyone&#8217;s maid, or when I act a little selfish. It means I have the courage and strength to allow myself to be who I truly am and won&#8217;t become anyone else&#8217;s idea of what they think I &#8220;should&#8221; be. I am outspoken, opinionated and determined. I want what I want and there is nothing wrong with that!</p>
<p>So try to stomp on me, try to douse my inner flame, try to squash every ounce of beauty I hold within me. You won&#8217;t succeed. And if that makes me a bitch, so be it. I embrace the title and am proud to bear it.</p>
<p><strong>B &#8211; Babe<br />
I &#8211; In<br />
T &#8211; Total<br />
C &#8211; Control of<br />
H &#8211; Herself</strong></p>
<p><strong>B = Beautiful<br />
I = Intelligent<br />
T = Talented<br />
C = Charming<br />
H = Hell of a Woman</strong></p>
<p><strong>B = Beautiful<br />
I = Individual<br />
T = That<br />
C = Can<br />
H = Handle anything</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was a very happy person. My wonderful girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. There was only one little thing bothering me-her beautiful younger sister.</p>
<p>My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight mini-skirts, and generally was braless. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a pleasant view of her private parts. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else.</p>
<p>One day her &#8220;little&#8221; sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn&#8217;t overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister.</p>
<p>Well, I was in total shock, and couldn&#8217;t say a word. She said, &#8220;I&#8217;m going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me.&#8221; I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top she pulled off her panties and threw them down the stairs at me.</p>
<p>I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door. I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside all clapping! With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, &#8220;We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn&#8217;t ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family!&#8221;</p>
<p>And the moral of this story is: Always keep your condoms in your car! <img src='http://www.imrank.org/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
