Pak war
During the Cold War, if USA launched a nuke-loaded missile, Soviet Satellites would inform the Soviet army in 3 seconds and in less than 45 seconds Soviet counter-missiles would be on their way.
Recent studies commissioned by US department of Defense included one on nuclear war between India and Pakistan :
This was the scenario................
The Pakistan army decides to launch a nuke-missile towards India. They don't need any permission from their government, and promptly order the countdowns.
Indian technology is highly advanced. In less than 8 seconds, Indian army detects the Pak countdown and decides to launch a missile in retribution.
But they need permission from the Government of India.
They submit their request to the Indian President. The President forwards it to the Cabinet. The Prime Minister calls an emergency Lok Sabha session.
The LS meets, but due to several walkouts and severe protests by the opposition, it gets adjourned indefinitely.
The President asks for a quick decision.
In the mean time, the Pak missile failed to take off due to technical failure. Their attempts for a re-launch are still on.
Just then the Indian ruling party is reduced to a minority because a party that was giving outside support withdraws it. The President asks the PM to prove his majority within a week.
As the ruling party fails to win the confidence vote, a caretaker government is installed.
The caretaker PM decides to permit the armed forces to launch a nuclear missile. But the Election Commission says that a caretaker government cannot take such a decision because elections are at hand.
The Election Commission files Public Interest Litigation in the Supreme Court alleging misuse of power.
The Supreme Court comes to the rescue of the PM, and says the acting!
PM is authorized to take this decision in view of the emergency facing the nation.
Just then one of the Pak missiles successfully took off, but it fell
367 miles away from the target, on its own government building in Islamabad at 11.00AM.
Fortunately there were no casualties as no employee had reached the office that early. In any case, the nuclear core of the missile had detached somewhere in flight.
The Pakistan army is now trying to get better technologies from China and USA. The Indian Government, taking no chances, decides to launch a nuclear missile of its own, after convening an all-party meeting. This time all the parties agree.
Its three months since the army had sought permission. But as preparations begin, "pro-humanity",
"anti-nuclear" activists come out against the Government's decision.
Human chains are formed and Rasta rokos organized.
In California and Washington endless e-mails are sent to Indians condemning the government and mentioning "Please forward it to as many Indians as possible".
On the Pakistan side, the missiles kept malfunctioning. Some missiles deviate from target due to technical failures or high-speed wind blowing over Rajasthan.
Many of them land in the Indian Ocean killing some fishes.
A missile (smuggled from USA) is pressed into service. Since the Pakistan army is unable to understand its software, it hits it original
destination: Russia.
Russians successfully intercepts the missile and in retaliation launches a nuclear missile towards Islamabad. The missile hits the target and creates havoc.
Pakistan cries for help. India expresses deep regrets for what has happened and sends in a million dollars worth of Parle-G biscuits.
Thus India never gets to launch the missile.. :-D

Good Captain
A Spanish Naval captain was walking leisurely on his battleship when a subordinate rushes over to him and says "Sir, an enemy battleship is fast approaching us. We should be ready"
The captain replies coolly "Go. Get my Red shirt." The subordinate rushes over and gets the Shirt for his captain. The captain wears the red shirt.
After some time, the enemy battleship comes in range. Consequently heavy rounds of fire are exchanged between the two battleships. After much effort, the Spanish win.
The subordinate approaches his boss, "Congratulations for the victory sir, but why did you require the red shirt in the first place?"
The captain replies "Because, during the war if I got injured then my blood should not have been seen as I did not want my men to lose hope and to fight with the same ferocity."
Just then another subordinate rushes over. "Sir, we just spotted another 20 enemy battleships heading in our direction."
The captain replies coolly “Go. Get my yellow trousers.”

Inbox after we die
What happens to your Inbox after you die ?
Saving that parting email from your first love ? Well, chances are, after you pass away, your spouse or the entire family will know the long held secret.
This is because web services like Gmail and Hotmail do not let users specify what should happen to their messages when they die!
Are you aware that internet giants like Microsoft & Google have a policy of preserving your data (can hold up to 7GB – roughly 70,000 messages) to let your next of kin or the executor of your property access it.
When it comes to deleting the data, Gmail leaves it to the next of kin while Microsoft’s Hotmail will remove an account if it is inactive for 270 days.
Of the top 3 providers, only Yahoo refuses to provide emails to anyone after the user has died. The user’s next of kin can only ask for the account to be closed. The only exception is if the user specified otherwise in his/her will.

A Senior's Letter to the Bank
Shown below, is an actual letter that was sent to a bank by an 86 year old woman. The bank manager thought it amusing enough to have it published in the New York Times.
Dear Sir:
I am writing to thank you for bouncing my check with which I endeavored to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check and the arrival in my account of the funds needed to honor it.
I refer, of course, to the automatic monthly deposit of my entire pension, an arrangement which, I admit, has been in place for only eight years. You are to be commended for seizing that brief window of opportunity, and also for debiting my account $30 by way of penalty for the inconvenience caused to your bank. My thankfulness springs from the manner in which this incident has caused me to rethink my errant financial ways.
I noticed that whereas I personally answer your telephone calls and letters, --- when I try to contact you, I am confronted by the impersonal, overcharging, pre-recorded, faceless entity which your bank has become.
From now on, I, like you, choose only to deal with a flesh-and-blood person. My mortgage and loan repayments will therefore and hereafter no longer be automatic, but will arrive at your bank, by check, addressed personally and confidentially to an employee at your bank whom you must nominate.
Be aware that it is an offense under the Postal Act for any other person to open such an envelope. Please find attached an Application Contact which I require your chosen employee to complete. I am sorry it runs to eight pages, but in order that I know as much about him or her as your bank knows about me, there is no alternative. Please note that all copies of his or her medical history must be countersigned by a Notary Public, and the mandatory details of his/her financial situation (income, debts, assets and liabilities) must be accompanied by documented proof. In due course, at MY convenience, I will issue your employee with a PIN number which he/she must quote in dealings with me.
I regret that it cannot be shorter than 28 digits but, again, I have modeled it on the number of button presses required of me to access my account balance on your phone bank service. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Let me level the playing field even further.
When you call me, press buttons as follows:
IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIALLING, PRESS THE STAR (*) BUTTON FOR ENGLISH
#1. To make an appointment to see me. #2. To query a missing payment.
#3. To transfer the call to my living room in case I am there.
#4. To transfer the call to my bedroom in case I am sleeping.
#5. To transfer the call to my toilet in case I am attending to nature.
#6. To transfer the call to my mobile phone if I am not at home.
#7. To leave a message on my computer, a password to access my computer is required. Password will be communicated to you at a later date to that Authorized Contact mentioned earlier.
#8. To return to the main menu and to listen to options 1 through 7.
#9. To make a general complaint or inquiry. The contact will then be put on hold, pending the attention of my automated answering service.
#10. This is a second reminder to press * for English. While this may, on occasion, involve a lengthy wait, uplifting music will play for the duration of the call.
Regrettably, but again following your example, I must also levy an establishment fee to cover the setting up of this new arrangement.
May I wish you a happy, if ever so slightly less prosperous New Year?
Your Humble Client
(Remember: This was written by an 86 year old woman)

AXE Effectp
Unable to attract even a single girl, frustrated man sues AxeNew Delhi. In what could prove to be a major marketing and legalembarrassment for Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), a 26-year-old manhas filed a case against the FMCG company, which owns the Axe brand ofmen grooming products, for 'cheating' and causing him 'mentalsuffering'. The plaintiff has cited his failure to attract any girl atall even though he's been using Axe products for over seven years now.Axe advertisements suggest that the products help men in instantlyattracting women.Vaibhav Bedi, the petitioner, also surrendered all his used, unused andhalf-used deodorant sprays, perfume sticks and roll-ons,anti-perspirants, aftershaves, body washes, shampoos, and hair gels tothe court, and demanded a laboratory test of the products and narcoticstest of the brand managers of Axe. Vaibhav was pushed to take this stepwhen his bai (maid) beat him with a broom when he tried to impress herby appearing naked in front of her after applying all the Axe products.No girl ever asked Vaibhav to call her"Where the fuck is the Axe effect? I've been waiting for it for overseven years. Right from my college to now in my office, no girl everagreed to even go out for a tea or coffee with me, even though I'm surethey could smell my perfumes, deodorants and aftershaves. I alwaysapplied them in abundance to make sure the girls get turned on as theyshow in the television. Finally I thought I'd try to impress my lonelybai who had an ugly fight with her husband and was living alone for overa year. Axe effect my foot!" Vaibhav expressed his unhappiness.Vaibhav claims that he had been using all the Axe products as per thecompany's instructions even since he first bought them. He argued thatif he couldn't experience the Axe effect despite using the products asdirected, either the company was making false claims or selling fakeproducts."I had always stored them in cool and dry place, and kept them away fromdirect light or heat. I'd always use a ruler before applying the sprayand make sure that the distance between the nozzle and my armpit was atleast 15 centimeters. I'd do everything they told. I even beat up my5-year-old nephew for coming near my closet, as they had instructed itto keep away from children's reach. And yet, all I get is a broombeating from my ugly bai." Vaibhav expressed his frustration.Vaibhav claims that he had to do go a lot of mental suffering and publichumiliation due to the lack of Axe effect and wants HUL to compensatehim for this agony. An advocate in Karkardooma court, who happened tomistake Vaibhav for some deodorant vendor when he entered the courtpremises with all the bottles, has now offered to take up his case inthe court. HUL has been served a legal notice in this regard.HUL has officially declined to comment on the case citing the subject tobe sub judice, but our sources inform that the company was worried overthe possible outcomes of the case. The company might argue that Vaibhavwas hopelessly unattractive and unintelligent and didn't possess thebare minimum requirements for the Axe effect to take place. OfficiallyHUL has not issued any statement, but legal experts believe that HULcould have tough time convincing the court."HUL might be tempted to take that line of argument, but it is veryrisky. There is no data to substantiate the supposition thatunattractive and unintelligent men don't attract women. In fact some ofthe best looking women have been known to marry and date absolutelyghoulish guys. I'd suggest that the company settles this issue out ofcourt." noted lawyer Ram Jhoothmalani said.

Japanese Perfection
Speaking about perfection.....
Apparently the computer giant IBM decided to have some parts manufactured in Japan as a trial project. In the specifications, they set out that they will accept only three defective parts per 10,000. When the delivery came in there was an accompanying letter.
"We, Japanese people, had a hard time understanding North American business practices.
But the three defective parts per 10,000 have been separately manufactured and have been included in the consignment in a separate packaging clearly mentioned ' defective pieces as required, not for use'. Hope this pleases you."

Amazing coincidences
What's in a Name?
A computer error gave two women in America called Patricia the same social security number. When the two women were brought together in an office to rectify the blunder they discovered thatThey had both been born with the names Patricia Ann Campbell Both of their fathers were called Robert Campbell Their birthdays were on 13th March 1941 They had both married military men in the year 1959 (within eleven days of each other) They each had two children aged 19 and 21 They both had an interest in oil painting Both had studied cosmetics Both had worked as book-keepers
Bullet With Your Name on It In 1893, Henry Ziegland ended a relationship with his girlfriend. Tragically, his girlfriend took the news very badly, became distraught and took her own life. Her distressed brother blamed his sister's death upon Henry, he went round to Henry's house, saw him out in the garden and tried to shoot him. Luckily, the bullet only grazed Henry's face and embedded itself in a nearby tree. In 1913, twenty years after this incident, Henry decided to use dynamite to uproot a tree in his garden. The explosion propelled the embedded bullet from the tree straight into Henry Ziegland's head - killing him immediately.
Lucky Hughs? On December 5th 1660, a ship sank in the straights of Dover - the only survivor was noted to be Hugh Williams. On 5th December 1767, another ship sank in the same waters - 127 lost their lives, the only survivor was noted to be Hugh Williams On 8th August 1820, a picnic boat capsized on the Thames - there was one survivor - Hugh Williams. On 10th July 1940, a British trawler was destroyed by a German mine - only two men survived, one man and his nephew - they were both called Hugh Williams.
With a Quack Quack Here Mr McDonald was a farmer who lived in Canada - nothing extra-ordinary in that - until you learn that his postcode contained the letter sequence EIEIO.
'Til Death Did Them Part In 1996, Paris police set out to investigate a late night, high speed car crash, both drivers had been killed instantly. Investigations revealed that the deceased were in fact man and wife. Police initially suspected some kind of murder or suicide pact but it became apparent that the pair had been separated for several months - neither could have known that the other would have been out driving that night - it was just a terrible coincidence.
Licensed To Thrill A fifteen year old pupil at Argoed High School in North Wales was to sit his GCSE examinations in 1990. His name was James Bond - his examination paper reference was 007.
What Goes Around…. In 1965, at the age of four, Roger Lausier was swimming off a beach in Salem - he got into difficulties and was saved from drowning by a woman called Alice Blaise. In 1974, on the same beach, Roger was out on a raft when he pulled a drowning man from the water - amazingly, the man he saved was Alice Blaise's husband.
Lightning Never Strikes Twice? British cavalry officer Major Summerford was fighting in the fields of Flanders in the last year of WW1, a flash of lightning knocked him off his horse and paralysed him from his waist down. He moved to Vancouver, Canada, six years later, whilst out fishing, Major Summerfield was struck by lightning again and the right side of his body became paralysed. After two years of recovery, it was a summers day and he was out in a local park, a summer storm blew up and Major Summerfield was struck by lightning again - permanently paralysing him. He died two years after this incident. However, four years after his death, his stone tomb was destroyed - it was struck by lightning!
Practice What You Preach Businessman Danie de Toit made a speech to an audience in South Africa - the topic of his speech was - watch out because death can strike you down at any time. At the end of his speech, he put a peppermint in his mouth, and choked to death on it!
