OT Re: Joy Day in Heidelberg

Hi Abhinabha,

I am glad you found the time to write a joyday report. It was rather a fun-joyday but joy and cheerfulness we brought back home.

My favourite joke was told by Stephanie from Louxembourg:

What is the difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist says, "Good morning, God!" A pessimist says, "Good God, morning."

My second favourite joke was told by Satyaki. He explained to us how in some countries corruption was "promoted". Then he told the joke:

Japanese: "Do you see the bridge over there?"
Indian: "Yes."
Japanese: "50% in my pocket."
Indian: "Do you see the bridge over THERE?"
Japanese: "No, where?"
Indian: "100% in my pocket."

Petrus led a new arrived group of Buddhists for a side seeing tour through heaven. As they pass by a place where Christians have found their heavenly rest Petrus put his finger on his mouth and said, "Psst, they believe that they are alone here."

I give God utmost joy
Not when I say that I shall do it
Or that I can do it,
Or even that I have done it,
But only when I say,
"God, I am all Yours."
