murphy's law for cooking

you manage to get all ingredients, everything is on schedule, you turn on the flame and put the contents in pressure cooker and suddenly you realize that pressure cooker's Rocker (steam regulator) is missing!
:)

Then it usually takes time to find it as it is a small sized item. Suddenly it becomes the holy-grail and its absence stops the whole cooking process, when it is supposed to stop something else!

Craving for corn

What would you call a person who eats all corn dishes like corn soup, baby corn & even corn flakes and pop-corn?

(answer is in comments)

is this what they call a 'water cooler joke'?

There is a guy in office whom i give a drop to his home sometimes since his place is on my way to home. This day too, I met him in passage while leaving. He was leaving too, carrying his backpack and was filling his bottle at the water cooler.

As usual, I asked, "Need a drop?" and he answered "yes". Then I said, "But your bottle is full, why would you need a 'drop'?"
:)

The very next day, he was there again at the water cooler filling his bottle and there I was, armed with another joke which i had seen on TV just on the previous night.

I just asked, "Are you filling your bottle since there is a 'liquidity crunch' these days?"

one-liner

He and she decided to separate their ways.
He said, "we can keep in touch over email, without any attachment"

Quotable quote

When AR Rahman won oscar he quoted the most popular dialogue from Bollywood:

"Mere paas maa hein!"

At the same moment, it seemed as if Bollywood was telling Hollywood:

"Hamare paas Rahman hein!"

Looking at the (W)hole picture

There were two holes cut in the door of Newton's chamber: one hole, much larger than the other, for the use of his cat, the smaller one for the convenience of the kitten. The joke is, of course, that the kitten required a smaller hole to pass through the door than did its mother.

Well, here is something happened which reminded me of above joke. I installed two linuxes on a system and managed to get them working perfectly. One of them required around 2GB swap space and the other needed only 500 MB. I had made two separate swap partitions only to realize after a while that my stupid mistake was quite similar to that of this world famous personality :)

Cross-talk

This is a technical term in communication (especially telephonic) where a conversation of a call is heard in another entirely different call.

Now consider one interesting real life situation. A group is going for a trip in holidays in a vehicle. Lets say it is the year end. In your journey you are likely to travel through the region where the cellular network is absent. Your dear ones are eager to call you to wish a happy new year. You too are eager to make many calls.

Once the vehicle reached the area where there is network coverage, the flood of messages starts pouring in. And everybody starts making calls despite the conversations interefering each other.
Now, how do you get rid of such 'cross-talk'?
