	This was actually the result of an early attempt at 
	machine-translation.  What they tried to do was take an
	English sentence, translate it into Russian, then take
	the result and translate it back into English. After a
	complete round-trip, the result was "The wine is good,
	but the meat is bad."

    A monk was walking through a mall when he passed a cart where a man was
    selling hot dogs.  He stopped, paused and went back to the cart.  When
    the vendor asked him what he wanted, the Buddhist answered, "Make me one
    with everything."

    And as one of the speakers at Gurudev's b'day party said,
    
       "Sufis lie."
    
    He was, of course, a Sufi...(;^)

	Nasruddin was searching for something in the street.
     	He was asked:
	
	"What have you forgotten ?"

	"My key"

	"Where?"

	"At home"

	"Why are you searching for it here then ?"

	"It's more light here"
