George Bush was sitting in his office wondering whom to invade next when his telephone rang.
"Hallo, Mr. Bush!" a heavily accented voice said, "This is Gurmukh Sing
Dhindsa from Phagwara, District Kapurthala, Punjab. I am ringing to
inform you that we are officially declaring the war on you!"
"Well, Gurmukh," George Bush replied, "This is indeed important news!
"How big is your army"?
"Right now," said Gurmukh, after a moment's calculation, "there is
myself, my cousin Sukhdev, my next door neighbour Bhagat, and the entire
kabaddi team from my Pind (village). That makes eight"
George Bush paused. "I must tell you, Gurmukh that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command."
"Arrey O! Main kya.. " said Gurmukh. "I'll have to ring you back!"
Sure enough, the next day, Gurmukh called again.
"Mr. Bush, it is Gurmukh, I'm calling from Phagwara STD, the war is
still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment!"
"And what equipment would that be, Gurmukh" George Bush asked.
"Well, we have two combines, a donkey and Amrik's tractor."
George Bush sighed. "I must tell you, Gurmukh, that I have 16,000 tanks
and 14,000 armoured personnel carriers. Also, I've increased my army to
1-1/2 million since we last spoke."
"Oh teri maa di ...." said Gurmukh. "I'll have to get back to you."
Sure enough, Gurmukh rang again the next day.
"Mr. Bush, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves
airborne...... We've modified Amrik's tractor by adding a couple of
shotguns, sticking on some wings and the Pind's generator. Four school
pass boys from Rajpura have joined us as well!"
George Bush was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must
tell you, Gurmukh, that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter
planes. My military complex is surro unded by laser-guided,
surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my
army to TWO MILLION!"
"Tera beda gark hove.... khad jaa . . . " said Gurmuk, "I'll have to ring you back."
Sure enough, Gurmukh called again the next day.
"Kiddan, Mr. Bush! I am sorry to tell you that we have had to call off the war."
"I'm sorry to hear that," said George Bush. "Why the sudden change of heart"
>>>>> "Well," said Gurmukh, "we've all had a long chat
over a couple of lassi's, and decided there's no way we can feed two
million prisoners of war!"
