Gopala krishnan, on 05-01-2024 Q1 Whatis the latest joke about old age? A1 Gopalkrishna Vishwanath, I know lotsof them. But most can't be narrated without spoiling my good name. Dec 30 In my WhatsAppgroup of old men in my age group, some are still abit naughty. Here is a joke sharedby one of them in the group. A group of Indianoldies decided to set out on a pilgrimage along with a guide. The guide made all arrangements and lectured thegroup on dos and don’ts during the journey. One of the don’tswas ‘When traveling don’t look at or stare at beautiful woman if there are anyon the way. Look straight ahead and watch your step. Remember that you are on apilgrimage. If by accidentyou happen to see them Chant “Hari Om”, “Hari Om”, turn your eyes away andcontinue on your way. The group agreed. On the way they sawan aged hermit sitting on the side of the road who was loudly chanting “Hari om”. The group rushedtowards him and asked “Where?” My note- It is not a repeat, but the jokewith more clarity. Q2 Doyou know a joke about a phone bill?

A3 Rika Ishii, Former Community Managerat Quora (product) (2022–2023)11mo This is a truestory that happend to a friend of mine. He was fairly newin Japan and went to YoyogiPark, the most popular and well-known park in Tokyo. He was playing somesport with his friends for a while, and went home as it started raining. On his way back to his house, he realized that heforgot his iPad on a bench at the park. He felt hopeless asthe electronics left in public quickly get lost, at least that was the common sensewe generally have, but he went back anyway to where hewas in the park. He looked at thebench where he left his iPad, and saw a newspaper. He removed the newspaper, and there it was. His iPad wassitting there intact! But why was there a newspaper on iPad? Well, apparently, a kind-hearted anonymous person thoughtthe beautiful iPad shouldn't get wet in the rain. My friendcalls that an “only-in-Japan” experience. However, as myselfbeing Japanese, I wasn’t surprised. I’ve lost my iPhone twice on the train (yes, twice..)and found both times at Lost& Found of the railway company. One learning frommy friend’s story and my own experience is “don’t give up finding it whenyou lose your gadget in Japan!” :) Q4 WasCharumati the only daughter of Lord Krishna? Is it written in the scriptureswhat the daughter of Rukmini and Krishna looked like? A4 Jinafire Long,Sep 16 Besides 10 sons,Sri Krishna and Devi Rukmini had one only daughter named Charumati. Charumati is known for marrying Kritavarma's son Bali.Kritavarma is the hero of the Mahabharata. He was a warrior of the Yadudynasty. His son Bali was in love with Charumati. Charumati possessed magnificent virtues and charming beauty.She was like her mother goddess Sri Lakshmi -Devi Rukmini in everything. When Devi Rukminiasked Sri Krishna why they had 10 sons and only one daughter, Bhagavan Krishnareplied: - Onedaughter is equal to ten sons. One daughter brings mother and father such greathappiness, which only 10 sons together can bring to parents. My note- Yes.Daughter’s presence brings morehappiness . I have felt it many times. This does not mean son’s ordaughter in law’s presence bring only happiness. One or two degrees more. I mean. Q5 Whowas the funniest evil person in history or the most evil funny person?
