President Idi Amin once called his Foreign Minister and told him that
he wanted to change the name of UGANDA to IDI. The Hon. Minister was tasked to canvas world opinion and return to the Field Marshal in two weeks.
He did not do so and was summoned and asked to explain.
He said “Mr. President, I have been reliably informed that there is a country called Cyprus and its citizens are called Cypriots.
If we change the name of our country to IDI, Our citizens will be called “IDIOTS”
An man sees a barber-shop with a sign saying “The World’s Closest, Cleanest Shave – Or Double Your Money Back”.
Curious – especially since he has a thick growth, which makes it difficult to get a really clean shave – he goes inside. He asks the barber how he can possibly make that promise. The barber smiles at him and says that in the past ten years no customer has ever asked for his money back.
How is that, asks the man. The barber again smiles and says it is all because of his secret shaving technique.
Even more curious now, the man asks for a shave and sits down in the barber’s chair.
The barber carefully unlocks his drawer and produces a small lacquered wooden ball. He places the ball in the man’s cheek to gently stretch the skin. And he then proceeds to shave the cheek as smooth as a baby’s bottom.
After finishing one side, the barber places the ball in the other cheek and repeats the process on the other side. The result is the most fantastic shave the man has ever had.
Very impressed, he pays the barber, and gives him a big tip. Then just before leaving, he stops, turns to the barber and asks, “You know that ball is so small and smooth I nearly swallowed it while you were shaving me”
The barber smiles and says “Actually, a lot of my customers do swallow that ball, sir”
“So what happens when they do that?”
“Oh, nothing. I just tell them to bring it back next day morning.”!!!!!!!!!!!!
