There was once an Indian and a Pakistani who lived
next door to each
other. The Pakistani owned a hen and each morning
would look in his
garden and pick up one of his hen’s eggs for
breakfast.
One day he looked into his garden and saw that the hen
had laid an
egg in the Indian’s garden. He was about to go next
door when he saw
the Indian pick up the egg. The Pakistani ran up to
the Indian and
told him that the egg belonged to him because he owned
the hen. The
Indian disagreed because the egg was laid on his
property.
They argued for a while until finally the Pakistani
said, “In my
family we normally solve disputes by the following
actions: I kick
you in the face and time how long it takes you to get
back up, then
you kick me in the face and time how long it takes for
me to get up,
hoever gets up quicker wins the egg.”
The Indian agreed to this and so the Pakistani found
his heaviest
pair of boots and put them on, he took a few steps
back, then ran
toward the Indian and kicked as hard as he could in
the face.
The Indian fell to the floor clutching his jaw howling
in agony for
30 minutes.
Eventually the Indian stood up and said, “Now it’s my
turn to kick
you.”
The Pakistani said, “Keep the damn egg!”
Expect the worst…
…Hope for the best
