Newspaper Ad
The phone rang in the obituary department of the local newspaper.
"How much does it cost to have an obituary printed"? asked miser Santa Singh.
"It's Rs 50 a word, sir," the clerk replied politely.
"Fine", said Santa Singh after a moment. "Okay then, write this down: 'Banta - dead'."
"That's all?" asked the clerk disbelievingly.
"That's it."
"I'm sorry sir, I should have told you - there's a five word minimum."
"Yes, you should've," snapped Santa. Now let me think a minute...okay, here goes: Banta dead. Maruti for Sale."
