As an Indian who was brought up in the US, I missed much of the social education especially that involving jokes. On my trips to India, I find myself always with a group that enjoys telling jokes but am unable to contribute jokes since I've not learned any that would be considered Indian. I would be interested to 'learn' from any netter. If you have an interesting joke that you wouldn't mind sharing, contribute it here so long as it doesn't get too offensive. Hopefully most of the joke would be in English [the language of the imperialists] and any inclusion of a native language should be followed (or preceded) by an English trans- lation since not many Indians (and most non-Indians) may not be too familiar with some particular language. One may want to warn readers if the joke is a little too wild in the Header or with rotation like that which is done on net.jokes . I am personally hoping to have a few of these in 'hand' when I next go to a Deshi party. Sunil Trivedi

A group of Americans, a group of Japanese and a Sardarji were having an argument as to whose technology was superior. Finally it was decided that each should demonstrate their capability to prove their point. The Americans proved their technology by producing a very thin wire. The Japanese improved upon this by boring a hole through it. Finally it was the Sardar's turn. He took the bored wire to his workshop and the next day asked his challengers to examine it. The wire was examined under a powerful microscope and after a while the observers noticed a legend "MADE IN INDIA". - Prabhakar Krishnamurthy
