Masculine or Feminine ... !

[smartganduinuk]

Mirza Ghalib was regarded as the last word on the matter of language, grammar and the craft of poetry. People used to come to him for solving such problems of academic nature. Once, some people approached Mirza Ghalib to know whether a chariot is masculine or feminine.

Mirza Ghalib, who was very famous for his humor told them jokingly “See it is very simple to know, if men are riding the chariot then it is masculine, if women are, then it is feminine.

Q : How do you tell if a fish swimming in a fish bowl is male or female ??

Ans : Wait for it to die. If he floats to the surface it is a male. If she floats to the surface, it is a female.

smelly pahji what about a test of the end from which the bubbles are coming out.....as you know females have great difficulty FARTING and this applies to all species.....so if the bubbles are coming from the front end its a female if its from the back end its a male

As for the chariot smarty bhaiya aisa hai ke more than whose riding it it depends on whose the passenger because females can even give politicians a lesson or two about BACKSEAT DRIVING....

Though I think the best test would be the colour of the chariot or its mast....a pink one being the obvious indicator about its sex.......in fact this was a real comment made by a german parliamentarian on the passage of a law allowing females into the army as combatants.....he said we will now have to get some tanks painted pink

how do you know a certain group of dogs is communist or capitalist in India?

Simple:
Stand on cross roads and show a bunch of rotis to dog, if he eats all alone he is capitalist, if he invites his pack then he is communist.
