Do you know how cocktail came into being?

The owner of an American bar had a large ceramic container in the form of a rooster. The container was filled with the leftovers from drinks. The less affluent could get a drink from this container, served from a tap at the tail. Hence, the name cocktail became associated with a mix of drinks. Some say the quality was always high after English sailors had been in, as there was a good mixture of rum, gin and brandy in the cocktail.

A joke

It was just few months after independence, of our country India'; The British were still there; however Indian were quite free to interact with them with the spirit of their freshly earned freedom. In a first class compartment of long distance train, a British and on Sarderji ( a Sikh, by faith, usually they are prominent with their turban) were traveling . The British was as usual in his grave composure, but the Sardarji was enthusiastic. He wanted to open some dialog with the fellow passenger. Thinking for a while, he just asked " what is your name, sir?" The British replied breaking his silence, Robert Bruke. Then he asked the Sardarji, " what is your name?'. The Sardar retorted, Kuldip Singh Dhilon. The surprised British asked, "Kuldip is your name, Dhilon is your surname, then what is Singh?" The Sardar replied " Jistara towda King, ustara sadda Singh !"

A Joke

Little Mary Margaret was not the best student in Catholic School. Usually she slept through the class. One day her teacher, a Nun, called on her while she was sleeping. > > "Tell me Mary Margaret, who created the universe?" When Mary Margaret didn't stir, little Johnny who was her friend sitting behind her, took his pencil and jabbed her in the rear. "God Almighty!" shouted Mary Margaret. The Nun said, "Very good" and continued teaching her class. > > A little later the Nun asked Mary Margaret, "Who is our Lord and Savior?" But Mary didn't stir from her slumber. Once again, Johnny came to her rescue and stuck Mary Margaret in the butt.

A Story

There was a rich King who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best. He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidante and was always kind, considerate and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her to help him get through the difficult times. The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and kingdom.

AWESOME GRAPHICS

Here are 7 pictures of (European) semi-trucks whose trailers are decorated to look like the sides are missing and the products they are hauling are painted on the sides and back. The first one is of a bottle of beer and looks so real, like it is coming out the side of the trailer. The second is of canvas tote bag. The third is of Pepsi cases and they are all stacked on the ceiling, and the bottom of the trailer is empty. The fo urth is of another truck with the windshield facing the back and there has been a driver painted in the driver's seat looking back over his shoulder to appear like he is driving backwards. The fifth one is of an aquarium with fish swimming in it. The sixth one is of a bookshelf with books lined up in it and a post-it-note with an advertisement on it, probably for the company that sells the books (Again, in a foreign language) The last one is for Pringles-Hot & Spicy. The "inside" of the trailer has the appearance of ha
