One day in Canada a white beggar is holding a bowl for money. another poorly dressed sardar right beside him is also holding a bowl. A white businessman passes by them and drops a handful of quarters in the white guy’s bowl but a handful of pennies in the sardar’s bowl..
The next day the businessman passes by them again and once again he drops a handful of quarters in the white guy’s bowl and a handful of pennies in the sardar’s bowl. The next day however, the businessman drops a handful of nickels in the white guy’s bowl as well as the sardar’s bowl.
The day after that the businessman drops a handful of nickels in the white guy’s bowl and a handful of quarters in the sardar’s bowl. The fourth day the businessman drops a handful of dollars in the sardar’s bowl and a handful of pennies in the white guy’s bowl. By this time the businessman notices that the white beggar is looking better indeed than he used to be but the sardar is as he always was.
The fifth day the businessman drops a handful of pennies in both the white guy’s and sardar’s and irritatedly asks the sardar: “can’t you ever buy yourself a perfume and get a shave with what you already have”?
Infuriated, the sikh gets off the concrete sidewalk and opens up his dirty jacket showing its inside.. the businessman peeks in to see a tag inside the jacket that says “Manjeet Singh” and bills his profession as “government services for keeping the city clean”.. the businessman is still confused. The sikh then takes out all the money from his bowl and the businessman takes a peek in the bowl. The bowl’s inside says “Dog owners please relieve your companions here”
