got this joke in a forward .......
:hap3:
Once a great scientist invents a machine and claims that it can tell
everything about everybody, when asked. Nobody beleives him. So,he
holds
a press conference, where anybody can ask any question from the
machine.
In the press conference, many people ask the machine different
questions
and the machine answers them correctly. The news spreads like a wild
fire and finally reaches the ears of President of U.S.A. He calls the
scientist to Pentagon and asks him to bring his machine with his
machine.All the officials of Pentagon are present in the meeting to ask
questions from the machine.It answers all of them correctly.Finally,the
President asks one question : "What is my father doing at present?".The
machine falls silent for few minutes and after that, answers " Your
father is fishing in Arabian Sea.".The President starts laughing and
after five minutes,when he stops laughing,says " Your machine is of no
use scientist. It was a trick question.My father died 4 years ago.".
The
scientist apologises and asks Prez. to reframe the question so that the
machine could understand the question better. So the Prez. asks"What is
my mother's husband doing at present?".After some time, the machine
replies " Your mother's husband died 4 years ago but your father is
still fishing in Arabian Sea".
