Always Ask...Never Assume...

His request approved, the CNN News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight.

He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport.

Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger.

He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go'.

The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off.

Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.'

'Why?' asked the pilot.

'Because I'm a photographer for CNN' , he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.'

The pilot was strangely silent for a moment, finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me, is . . . You're NOT my flight instructor?'


Someone rightly said:

When you ASSUME = you make an ASS out of U and ME....

Sindhi Joke

An Arab was admitted in Hospital for a heart transplant, but prior to the surgery the doctors needed to store his blood in case the need arose. As he had a rare type of blood, it couldn't be found locally and the call went out to a number of countries. A Sindhi had a similar type of blood. The Sindhi willingly donated his blood for the Arab. After the surgery, the Arab sent the Sindhi as appreciation a new Toyota Prado, diamonds, jewellery, and a million US dollars.

Once again the Arab had to go through corrective surgery. His doctor telephoned the Sindhi who was more than happy to donate his blood again. After the second surgery, the Arab sent the Sindhi a thank you card and a jar of Almond halwa sweets. The Sindhi was shocked to see that the Arab this time did not reciprocate the Sindhi's kind gesture as he had anticipated. He phoned the Arab and asked him that this time also I thought that you would give me expensive gifts ..... But you only sent a thank you card and a jar Almond sweets. On this the Arab replied 'Sai.....now I have Sindhi blood in my veins'
