POINTED REPLIES WHEN YOU COULD HAVE HEARD A PIN DROP

By Materials & Welding -
Take 1:

Field Marshal Sam Bahadur Maneckshaw once started addressing a public meeting at Ahmedabad in English. The crowd started chanting, "Speak in Gujarati. We will hear you only if you speak in Gujarati."
Field Marshal Sam Bahadur Maneckshaw stopped. Swept the audience with a hard stare and replied, "Friends, I have fought many a battle in my long career. I have learned Punjabi from men of the Sikh Regiment; Marathi from the Maratha Regiment; Tamil from the men of the Madras Sappers; Bengali from the men of the Bengal Sappers, Hindi from the Bihar Regiment; and even Nepali from the Gurkha Regiment. Unfortunately there was no soldier from Gujarat
from whom I could have learned Gujarati."

Take 2:

JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when Charles DeGaule, the French President, decided to pull out of NATO.
DeGaule said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible.
Rusk responded "does that include the 180,000 who are buried here?"
DeGaule did not respond.

Take 3:

Robert Whiting, an elderly US gentleman of 83, arrived in Paris by plane.
At French Customs, he took a few minutes to locate his passport in his carry on.
"You have been to France before, Monsieur?" the Customs officer asked sarcastically.
Mr. Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously." Then you should know
enough to have your passport ready."
The American said, 'The last time I was here, I didn't have to show it."
Impossible. Americans always have to show their passports on arrival in France!
The American senior gave the Frenchman a long, hard look.
Then he quietly explained, "Well, when I came ashore at Omaha Beach, at 4:40am,
on D-Day in 1944, to help liberate this country, I couldn't find a single Frenchman to show a passport to."

      A sting of white pearls - A must, for every womans’ jewelry collection. For generations they have been a sign of elegance and subtle beauty. The royals worldwide have doted on this gemstone, be it our own Rajmata Gayatri Devi to go with her chiffons or Queen Elizabeth with her elaborate royal gowns. Pearls as an accessory holds its ground with whatever you wear it….   Valuable pearls occur in the wild, but they are very rare. These are called Natural Pearls . They are formed inside the shell of certain mollusks: as a defense mechanism to a potentially threatening irritant such as a parasite inside its shell, injuring the mantle tissue. The mollusk creates a pearl sac to seal off the irritation. They come in many shapes with perfectly round ones being comparatively rare. Single natural pearls are often sold as a...

Spiders Facts

Certain female species of spiders such as the Australian crab spider, sacrifice their bodies as a food source for their offspring. Some male spiders pluck their cobwebs like a guitar, to attract female spiders. Fried spiders taste like nuts. The largest spider ever was the Megarachne which had a diameter of 50 cm. The fossil was found in Argentina. The bite from a black widow spider is not automatically fatal. In fact, less than 1% of all people bitten by this spider run the risk of dying, and most of them are saved with the use of antivenin. The skeleton of a spider is located on the outside of the body. Spiders usually have eight eyes, but still they cannot see that well. There are about 35,000 species of spiders. Spiders have claws at the ends of their legs. Only the female black widow spider has a poisonous bite. The male spider's venom is not poisonous and it does not attack its prey. Of the 35,000 species of spiders, only 27 species are known to have caused human fa...
