A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his assignment in Israel. A friend asked, “Why weren’t you successful with the Israelis?”

The salesman explained, “When I got posted, I was very confident that I would make a good sales pitch. But, I had a problem. I didn’t know how to speak Hebrew. So, using the old storyboard method, I planned to convey the message through three posters.

First poster: A man lying in the hot desert sand, totally exhausted and fainting.

Second poster: The man is drinking our Cola.

Third poster: Our man is now totally refreshed.

“And then these posters were pasted all over the place.”

“Then that should have worked!” said the friend.

“The hell it should have!” said the salesman. “I didn’t realize that they read from right to left!”

Badru works hard at the office but spends two nights each week bowling and plays golf every Saturday. His wife thinks he’s pushing himself too hard so for his birthday she takes him to a local strip club.

The doorman at the club greets them and says, “Hey, Bud. How ya doin, man?”

His wife is puzzled and asks if he’s been to this club before.

“Oh no,” says Badru. “He’s in my bowling club.”

When they are seated, a waitress asks Badru if he’d like his usual and brings over a beer. His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable and says, “How did she know that you drink that beer?”

“I recognize her. She’s the waitress from the golf club. I always have that beer at the end of the first nine holes.”

A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her arms around Badru, starts to rub herself all over him and says, “Hi, Bud. Want your usual table dance, big boy?”

Badru’s wife, now furious, grabs her purse and storms out of the club. Badru follows and spots her getting into a cab. Before she can slam the door, he jumps in beside her. Badru tries desperately to explain how the stripper must have mistaken him for someone else, but his wife is having none of it. She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs, calling him every four-letter word in the book.

The cabby turns around and says, “Geez Bud, you picked up a real bitch this time.”

Badru’s funeral will be on Friday.
