Abraham Linccoln was one day polishing his shoes himsef while on President's chair. There came one (senator or high official, I don't remember as read long back ).
He wanted to impress the President and said --'Sir you are yourself polishing your shoe'!
Lincoln turned to him while still polishing, added -'Yes I do ; but whose shoe you polish , sir ?
Guess, how the admirer looked,on the spot !

Mr. Hanuman Babu Lost His Other Tail !
I was betwwen 10 to 12 yrs of age . Born and living the village life. It was PUJA Time( Pre-autumn Festival in Benga(1930 -40). The folk-theatre group came to perform RAM-JATRA.. They were about 15 in number and came on two boats.---The befor the Play , in the evening, my auntie (Pisi-ma) took me to the place where they put up the tent.-----and there was great commotion..
The Hanuman Babu (the great Monkey of prince Rma on exile--- Usaually is adressed by the name of the role they are given) came rushing with a swinging hurricane lamp and reported to the head of the troupe ; Sir, I new 2nd big tail is missing'||--- Where did you keep it " ---the manager asked asked . ||' I kept it hanging " the reply ||' Thundered the manager --- ' Is the tial ever made to be kepit hanging?|| Sir I just was checking, if the new tail fits me ---'|| -----Sharp came the rebuke --'' have you ever seen a Hanuman to whom a tail does not fitt --- ? Any way ! borrow a tail from SUGREEB _Babu(another character) for to morrow , if you don't find it.-- Now get off .'----
Hanuman-babu almust jumped out! [ from child hood memory ]

BALANCE-SHEET OF LORDS
The gentle man with fishing -rod , while fishing , cursed his God for missing the fish on the hook.
The escaping fish thanked it's lord for new lease of life.!
Now the two 'Lords' were , together, drawing their balance -sheet of gain and loss!

The Epic Re-written on the STAGE !
The Epic (RAMAYANA)had to be scripted anew and in the reverse because Ravana refused to be killed by Sri RAM.
_________________________________________
In my child hood life and on village back-drop, there was an open -Air play during Puja time( post monsoon and pre Autumn Festive-time. ;;; And the Demon RAVANA refused to die in the hands of Ramchandra while play was at its climax.
The reason was --the previous day Ramachandra , the rich villager had beaten up Ravana of the Play ,during the quarrel over a coconut tree that was on the common boundary of both.
Ramchandra was walthy and got the hero's role for his big subscription and the stout neighbour Ravana ,getting thrashed, promised to his wife to take revenge on the stage'
And so --- neither the prompter's shouting , nor Directors order nor Manager's pleading could put the Epic as was written. and Ravana went on fighting Rama until Ramchandra ran out of the STAGE.
But villagers , all , enjoyed the re-scripted EPIC most!

Failures - the Pillars of Success
In my boyhood, in rural set up, my friend Durga came back home singing. the mother asked -'what is the result in final exam'. Durga replied fast -'failed'.
His mother was angry - " you can never pass. This -the second time you failed'
Durga felt least perturbed and replied - 'Maa , know what Swamiji told " Failures are the pillars of success"-- 'and four pillars are needed for the roof'
The mother stood up angry and shouted - 'W-h-a-t !'....Durga sat down joyous for his meal.

Humour The Best Medicine
When in Medical college (1949-54) this Joke - was told by a student in our Annual funcion by a senior student :
A boy and a girl were whispering near the 'Lift' and were a bit too close . There . sharp came the professor for the lift found both of them ,-asked -'what are you doing in this corner?'....."Nothing Sir" - came the duet -reply .
Next day all students saw a 'NOTICE' hanging there thus : " If you have 'NOTHING ' to do --- then, don't do it here "
========================================================
Irish Joke that I still remember :
The Orthopedic Surgeon asked the Patient -" You Say --that 'fall' broke your legs ?'
Pat - came the denial -' No Doctor , not that fall ,--- but the stop'.
____________________________________________
JOKE of 'KUTTIS' of DHAKA (East Bengal -then[1940s] ):
