Know your Customer
A friend asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Arabs"
The salesman explained, "When I got posted in the Middle East, I was very confident that I would make a good sales pitch as Cola is virtually unknown there.
But, I had a problem I didn't speak Arabic. So, I planned to convey the message through three posters...
First poster - A man lying in the hot desert sand...totally exhausted and fainting.
Second poster - man is drinking our Cola.
Third poster- Our man is now totally refreshed.
Then these posters were pasted all over the place
"That should have worked," said the friend.
The salesman replied "I didn't realize that Arabs read from right to left"

Cardiologist's Funeral
Cardiologist's Funeral
Cardiologist's Funeral
A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge heart
covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.
Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside.
The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart
forever.
At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter. When all eyes
stared at him, he said, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking of my own
funeral.........I'm a gynecologist."
The proctologist fainted
NB: Dictionary Definition of proctologist: A doctor specializing in
diseases of the rectum and anus.

It's joke time!
A Filipino, a German and a
Pakistani got arrested consuming alcohol which is a severe offense in
Saudi Arabia , so for the terrible crime they were all sentenced to 20
lashes each.
As they were preparing for their punishment, the Sheikh announced: "It's
my first wife's birthday today, and she has asked me to allow each of
you one wish before your whipping."
The German was first in line, he thought for a while and then said:
"Please tie a pillow to my back." This was done, but the pillow only
lasted 10 lashes & the German had to be carried away bleeding and crying
with pain.
The Pakistani was next up. After watching the German in horror he said
smugly: "Please fix two pillows to my back". But even two pillows could
only take 15 lashes & the Pakistani was also led away whimpering loudly.
The Filipino was the last one up, but before he could say anything, the
Sheikh turned to him and said: "You are from one of most beautiful part
of the world and your
culture is one of the finest in the world. For this, you may have two
wishes!"
"Thank you, your Most Royal and Merciful highness," the Filipino
replied.
"In recognition of your kindness, my first wish is that you give me not
20, but 100 lashes."
"Not only are you an honorable, handsome and powerful man, you are also
very brave." The Sheikh said with an admiring look on his face.
"If 100 lashes is what you desire, then so be it.
"And what is your second wish?" the Sheik asked.
Filipino smiled and said, "Tie the Pakistani to my back"!!!
