I got this from BBM's blog...this is really funny...there's a link to his blog on the left. He's funny shit.

Really Funny Indian Joke:

Two families move from India to America. When they arrive, the fathers make each other a bet -- in a year's time, whichever family has become more "American" will win.

A year later when they meet again. The first guy says, "My son's playing baseball, I had McDonald's for breakfast and I'm on my way to pick up a case of Bud for tonight. How about you?"

The second guy says, "Fuck you, towel-head!"

I found this article on financeasia.com a while back...it is really funny if read closely. I passed this around my office and we all had a good piss about it haha...

In other news, in asking my family for help with my apartment I have managed to anger my father. He thinks it's inapporpriate to ask you family for help when you have exhausted all other options. Now call me crazy but aren't families supposed to be there for you when you need them? I guess that's beneath my family...shoganai!
