When Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a law-student at University College,London,
there was a Professor Peters there who disliked him because Gandhi 'did not know his place'
and was not subservient; they argued often.

One day, Professor Peters was lunching in the main Dining Hall of the University
and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat down next to him.
The Professor, in his arrogance, said, "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand, a pig and a bird do not eat together. "
Gandhi replied, "Please don't worry Professor, I'll fly away " and he moved to another table.



The annoyed Professor Peters, was further irritated when Gandhi answered all questions brilliantly at the next examination.
He asked Gandhi the following question,
"Mr. Gandhi, if you are walking down the street and find two bags,
one is a bag of wisdom and the other bag contains a lot of money; which one would you take?"
Without hesitation, Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course!"
Mr. Peters, smiling, said, "In your place, I would have taken the wisdom.".
"Each one must take what they don't already have", responded Gandhi indifferently.

Already ill-disposed to Gandhi, Professor Peters, wrote on one of Gandhi's
examination papers the word "Idiot!" and gave it to him.
Gandhi took the exam sheet and returned to his seat.
A few minutes later, he approached the Professor and said,
"Mr. Peters, you have signed the sheet, but you did not give me a grade."

Camila, Duchess of Cornwall wore a pair of new shoes for her wedding.

That night, when the celebration was over and they retired to their room,
She flopped on the bed and said,
"Charles darling, please remove my shoes, my feet are killing me."

Her ever-obedient Prince of Wales tried the right shoe but the shoe would

Not budge. "Harder!" yelled Camilla, "Harder".

Charles yelled back: "I'm trying, darling! But it's just so bloody tight!"
"Come on! Give it all you've got!" she cried.

Finally, when it released, Charles let out a big groan and Camilla exclaimed,
"There! Oh God, that feels so good!"

In their bedroom next door, the Queen said to Prince Phillip,
"See! I told you with a face like that, she had to be a virgin!"

Meanwhile, as Charles tried to remove her left shoe, he cried,
"Oh God, darling! This one's even tighter!"


At which Prince Phillip said to the Queen,
"That's my boy! He served in the Navy.
Once a Rear Admiral, always a Rear Admiral!"

A Scottish woman goes to the local newspaper office to
arrange publication of a death notice for her recently
deceased husband.

The desk clerk informs her that there is a charge of
50 cents per word.

She pauses, reflects, and then says, "Well, then, let it
read, 'Angus MacPherson died'."

Amused at the woman's thrift, the clerk tells her that
there is a seven word minimum for all death notices.

She thinks it over and then says, "In that case, let it
read 'Angus MacPherson died. Golf clubs for sale'."
