A new general was allotted to a new army base.<\/h2>\n

After some time in the base he realized how there were two army men guarding an empty bench in shifts. He asked his colleagues and his juniors what it was all about.<\/p>\n

A colleague said \u201cI don\u2019t know but it\u2019s been a tradition here since joined 35 years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

The general confused as he was went through the past generals of that base till he found the one that was in charge 35 years ago.<\/p>\n

He attempted to find him, and found that he had retired and he lived in the countryside now. He contacted him and requested to meet.<\/p>\n

On the day of the meeting the general asked the retired commander why that bench was guarded so much. The commander was shocked.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you\u2019re telling me the paint on that bench hasn\u2019t dried yet?!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A blonde gets a job painting lines on the highway.<\/h2>\n

At the end of the first day, her supervisor is impressed. \u201cWow!\u201d he says. \u201cYou did eight miles today! That\u2019s amazing!\u201d<\/p>\n

The second day, the blonde\u2019s production is down to four miles. \u201cStill pretty darn good,\u201d the supervisor says.<\/p>\n

On the third day, the blonde only does two miles. The supervisor calls her into the office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d he asks. \u201cThe first day you did great with eight miles, then yesterday you were down to four, and today you only managed two. What\u2019s the problem?\u201d<\/p>\n

The blonde rolls her eyes and says\u00a0\u201cDuh! The paint bucket keeps getting farther away!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

General McKenzie was in charge of the Navy, and he was visiting his colleague General Marshall, who was in charge of the Army.<\/h2>\n

McKenzie arrives at the military camp and is greeted by Marshall. They both walk around the place, and McKenzie asks: \u2018So how are your men?\u2019 \u2018Very well-trained, Gen McKenzie!\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I hope so. My men over at the Navy are so well-trained that they\u2019re the bravest of men in the whole country.\u2019 \u2018Well, my men are very brave, too.\u2019 \u2018I\u2019d like to see that.\u2019<\/p>\n

So Marshall calls Private Cooper and says: \u2018Private Johnson! I want you to stop that tank coming here with your body!\u2019 \u2018Are you crazy? I\u2019m out of here!\u2019<\/p>\n

As Private Johnson ran away, Marshall turned to a bewildered McKenzie and said: \u2018You see?\u00a0You have to be pretty brave to talk like that to a general.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Teacher: \u201cRamu, you talk a lot!\u201d<\/h2>\n

Ramu: \u201cIt\u2019s a family tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teacher: \u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramu: \u201cSir, my grandpa was a street hawker, my father is a teacher.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teacher: \u201cWhat about your mother?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramu: \u201cShe\u2019s a woman.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
