Welcome to The Stock Market

Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys
for Rs10/-.


The villagers seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching
them. The man bought hundreds at Rs10/- and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their
effort. He further announced that he would now buy at Rs20/-. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and
they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back
to their farms. The offer rate increased to Rs25 and the supply of monkeys became so little that it was an
effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.


The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at Rs50! However, since he had to go to the city on some
business, his assistant would now buy on behalf of him. In the absence of the man, the assistant told the
villagers. Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will sell them to you at
Rs35 and when the man returns from the city, you can sell it to him for Rs50." The villagers squeezed up
with all their savings to buy the monkeys. Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys
everywhere!!

HOW TO BE GRACIOUS

HOW TO BE GRACIOUS... *YOU KNOW WHAT*

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching.


Nothing could dampen her excitement -- not even her parent's nasty divorce.


Her Mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear at her wedding and she
would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new
young wife had bought the exact same dress as her mother!

Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it, but she
refused. 'Absolutely not, I look like a million bucks in this dress,
and I'm wearing it,' she replied.

Jennifer told her mother who graciously said, 'Never mind sweetheart.
I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.'

A few days later, they went shopping and did find another gorgeous dress.

When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother, 'Aren't you
going to return the other dress? You really don't have another
occasion where you could wear it.

Her mother just smiled and replied, 'Of course I do, dear. I'm wearing
it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.'

NOW I ASK YOU - IS THERE A WOMAN OUT THERE, ANYWHERE, WHO WOULDN'T
ENJOY THIS STORY?

Story of a BOTTLE

A guy, sitting outside his home about to be evicted from his house, was contemplating how the future would be after he had divorced his wife, lost his children and lost his job.

He notices a crate of beer bottles and walks up to it.
He takes out an empty bottle, smashing it into the concrete wall swearing,
"You are the reason I don't have my wife", second bottle, "You are the reason I don't have my children", third bottle "You are the reason I lost my job".

He notices the fourth bottle is sealed and still full of beer. He takes the bottle, puts it aside and says,

"Stand aside my dear friend; I know you were not involved".
