"Water-melon" joke
A JOKE doing the rounds of Delhi's diplomatic cocktail circuit, though slightly over the line of propriety, deseryes to be told because it llustrates the kind of feelings that obtain between Indians and Pakistanis. It is said that the President of the Soviet Union was celebrating his silver jubilee. As head of State he desired that all countries accredited to it should present him with the best of its products. First came the American ambassador with a brand new Cadillac. The President graciously accepted the gift. It was followed by the British ambassador presenting the latest model of a Roll's Royce. The President was delighted and desired that his thanks be conveyed to Queen Elizabeth II. The next was the ambassador of Israel. He had brought a new variety of elongated lemon developed in his country. The President was furious and ordered the lemon to be put up the Israeli's posterior. Then came the Indian ambassador. He presented a luscious Alphonso mango. The President was not amused and ordered the fruit to be stuffed up the Indian's behind Having been subjected to the painful insult the Israeli and the Indian ambassadors met in the lobby of the Kremlin Palace. The Israeli looked woebegone. The Indian was wreathed in smiles.
The Israeli asked the Indian, "How can you manage to look so happy after what has been done to you?"
The Indian ambassador replied, "You've no idea what is in store for the ambassador of Pakistan. He has brought the largest. water-melon developed in his country."
