The Wise King

Once there was a king. No ordinary King, mind you. This was a wise King!!! (With high IQ & EQ, you know!!!) How was he wise? Well, this king ruled just. He loved his people and cared for them. King ensured everybody in his kingdom was safe, earned their living and enjoyed being there. His throne was asylum to anyone and everyone in need. (Kind of 24 hours customer service!!!) He was loved by his people. A witch was highly envious of our King. (There always is!!!) So, she devised a terrible but brilliant plan. In King's kingdom there was a well. It was the only source of water for King's capital. (Lack of backup and contingency plan!!!) The witch poisoned the well. (Oh, ****!!!) Some of the residents drank the water and they went crazy.

Murga Musalman hai aur Shivji Mecca mein qaid hai

Pathakji, "Sir, do you know that Murga is Muslim?? Me, "What???" Pathakji, "Yes Sir. You know once there were two men to whom God said that I will give you both a very healthy life and you may return to heaven after your time on earth is complete. The only condition is that you have to come back a whole, leave nothing behind when you return." "One of them was born Hindu and the other, a Muslim. They both lived a long and happy life & died almost at the same time. At the gates of heaven, Hindu guy was permitted instantly while Muslim guy was stopped.
