A Pathan, a Punjabi, and a sardar ji escape a burning building by climbing to the roof. The Firemen are on the street below,
holding a blanket for them to jump into.
The firemen yell to the pathan, “Jump! Jump! It’s your only chance to survive!”
The pathan jumps and SWISH! The firemen yank the blanket away. The pathan slams into the sidewalk like a tomato.
"C’mon! Jump! You gotta jump!’ say the firemen to the Punjabi.
“Oh no! You’re gonna pull the blanket away!” says the Punjabi.
“No! It’s pathans we can’t stand! We’re OK with punjabis!”
“OK” says the Punjabi, and he jumps. SWISH! The firemen yank the blanket away, and the Punjabi is flattened on the pavement like a
pancake.
Finally, the Sardar ji steps to the edge of the roof. Again, the firemen yell “Jump! You have to jump!”
“No way! You’re just gonna pull the blanket away!” yelled the Sardar.
“No! Really! You have to jump! We won’t pull the blanket away!”
“Look,” the Sardar ji says, “nothing you say is gonna convince me that you’re not gonna pull the blanket away! So what I want you
to do is put the blanket down, and back away from it…”
