A Celestial Joke About Family Planning

God decided to encourage people to have fewer children and introduced an award scheme.  During the procedure at one point, he concentrated on learning about the situation in India.

He first met Jawaharlal Nehru in heaven, and asked him how many children he had during his time on earth. Nehru replied… only one!

Happy with the relatively good family planning adopted, God awarded Nehru with a Celestial Rolls Royce!

Indira Gandhi was next, and God asked the same question. She replied she had two children, and God thought, not too bad, so he gave her a BMW.

Dr. Radhakrishnan was next in line. God was not pleased to hear that he had six children, and gave him a Morris-8 as a kind of punishment…



Some time later, the three (Nehru, Indira and Radhakrishnan) were going around in their new cars, saw Mahatma Gandhi on foot!!!



Wondering what went wrong; they asked him why God hadn't been merciful with him…


The Mahatma replied in disgust, "God did not even ask me!!! Some idiots had told him that I am the father of the whole Indian nation!"

This Is What The Internet Did To A Photo Of Obama Shooting A Gun

The White House asked that the picture not be photoshopped.
The internet responded with the following.

(This is the standard disclaimer released with every photo posted to The White House's Flickr Photostream: "The photograph may not be manipulated in any way and may not be used in commercial or political materials, advertisements, emails, products, promotions that in any way suggests approval or endorsement of the President, the First Family, or the White House.")

But the internet said 'Yes We Can.'
Some people used it as a political statement.
Some thought Obama looked like a Red Coat.
Others thought it made him look like a Union soldier.

But either way, not as badass as the Queen of England.
The internet pondered an Obama shooting game..
Some thought it made the president look macho.
Others mocked Obama for not being very adept with firearms.
But most of the internet is just weird.
And some of the internet thought the whole photo was fake.
One thing is for sure though...
America enjoys our presidents with firearms.
