With all the craziness surrounding us there isn’t much time for jokes, but Sardarji jokes always bring a smile on one’s face. Here are some I received by email today. Enjoy!
American told sardar: Hamare desh me 90% shaadi e-mail se hoti hai.
Sardar : Kya bath hai. Hamari desh me 100% female se hoti hai.

Boss : which part ?

This is a picture of a notice found outside a lift (elevator) in Karachi.
Translation of the Urdu bit is even more amusing than the English one. Continue reading ‘Pictorial: Is the lift REALLY there?’
Yup! Anyone who has lived in Pakistan has seen them. Those colorful lyrics and poems painted behind a number of trucks, buses, rickshaws and taxis. In but a few lines, they convey thoughts and feelings which the average Pakistani would find hard to express.
This is no doubt a great display of creativity. Perhaps our movie-makers and talent-hunters need to consider tapping this abundant resource. After all, it’s not like our movies are any better than these lyrics!
Unable to keep this pool of creativity hidden from the rest of the world, I took the trouble of compiling the top ten of the week…feel free to add your own favourites. For further amusement and the benefit of our readers who don’t speak Urdu, I have translated the lyrics-which makes them even more hilarious. Enjoy!

After years under the radar, we now live in times where Muslims are constantly in the spotlight. Our culture, our beliefs, our way of life and above all our religion, for the most part, are projected negatively to the rest of the world through Western Media. Strong words like hate, radical, fear, etc. are always associated with Islam to such an extent that people unfamiliar with the religion and it’s people begin to correlate them habitually but along comes a sitcom to save the day. The first Muslim sitcom viewed in North America, Little Mosque on the Prairie is a new Canadian Broadcasting Corporation sitcom that premiered on January 9th 2007. It has already gotten more than 2 million viewers watching it every Wednesday at 8pm. Set in a post-9/11 era, the sitcom focuses on a Muslim community in the prairies.

General Zia is speeding through Germany with his chauffeur at the wheel on his way to an important address. Driving down a country road, the chauffeur (who is distracted, looking out the window at the countryside) doesn’t see a pig walk out onto the road, and he hits it.
Stopping the car, he jumps out, and Zia climbs out also to see what is going on. The chauffeur, very distressed by what he’s done asks Zia what they should do, and Zia tells him impatiently that they’re in a hurry and they should move the pig to the side of the road and go to the address and worry about it later.
All the way to the address the chauffeur, who is a fairly good hearted person despite his employer, is worried about the family who owned the pig and wondered how they’d react to discovering the pig, so when they arrived he asked Zia whether he shouldn’t drive back to the farm and let them know what happened.

A joke I received by email recently. I’d read it before, but once again found it quite funny.
George Bush was sitting in his office wondering whom to invade next when his telephone rang.
“Hallo, Mr. Bush!” a heavily accented voice said.
“This is Sheeda from Chuk no -3, District Gujrat, Pakistan. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!”
