This is a real episode which happened during the interview rounds of IIM for the class of 2004. Interviewer said, "I shall either ask you ten easy questions or one really difficult question. Think well before you make up your mind!" The candidate thought for a while and said, "My choice is one really difficult question." "Well, good luck to you, you have made your own choice!" said the interviewer. Here is your question: "What comes first, Day or Night?" The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depended on the correctness of the answer to that one question. He thought for a while and said," It's DAY" sir!" "How?" the interviewer asked. "Sorry sir, you promised me that you would not ask me a SECOND difficult question!" He was selected for IIM . Moral : Technical Skill is the Mastery of Complexity, while Creativity is the Mastery of Simplicity.

If any mischief occurs in their town, the two boys are probably involved. The boys' mother heard that a preacher in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The preacher agreed, but he asked to see them individually. So the mother sent the 8 year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the preacher in the afternoon.

Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. The preacher raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy'...

Ju dge: Why did you hit your husband with a chair?” Wife: “I couldn’t lift the table.” “What did one ghost say to another?” “Do you believe in people?” My friend has a fine watch dog. At any suspicious noise he wakes the dog and the dog begins to bark. They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak. “Room Service? Can you send up a towel?” “Please wait someone else is using it.” When I told the doctor about my loss of memory, he made me pay in advance. “Where did you get those big eyes?” “They came with the face.” I went alone on our honeymoon. My wife had already seen Niagara Falls. But the psychiatrist really helped me a lot. I would never answer the phone, because I was afraid. Now I answer it whether it rings or not.
