A tired minister was at home resting, and through the window he saw a woman approaching his door.
She was one of those too-talkative people, and he was not anxious to talk with her. He said to his wife, “I’ll just duck upstairs and wait until she goes away.”
An hour passed, then he tiptoed to the stair landing and listened… not a sound.
He was very pleased, so he started down calling loudly to his wife, “Well, my Dear, did you get rid of that old bore at last?”
The next moment he heard the voice of the same woman, and she couldn’t possibly have missed hearing him. Two steps down, he saw them both staring up at him. It seemed truly a crisis moment.
The quick-thinking minister’s wife answered, “Yes, Dear, she went away over an hour ago. But Mrs. Jones has come to call in the meantime, and I’m sure you’ll be glad to greet her.”
================================================
A King of a Kingdom called his Prime Minister and asked, like there are Brilliant people in his State will there be Idiots available?
Minister said there will be.
King then ordered his Minister to go around the State search and bring 5 of such Idiots and present to him in the Council.
Minister was awestruck since you can identify brilliant people by conducting some form of competition, but how to identify Idiots. However he goes around the State and after a month comes back with 2 such people. There after following is the conversation between King and Minister.
King: Dear Minister I think you are poor in counting, I asked for 5 people and you have brought only 2.
Minister: Your Highness please let me explain and then you will know yourself.
King: OK. Go ahead.
Minister: When I was going around the State I found this guy carrying a huge Gunny Bag on his head and travelling in a Bullock Cart. When I asked he said that if he keeps the bag in the Cart it will be overloaded and hurt the Bulls. I realised he is the 5th Idiot and brought him to you.
King: Excellent. Next.
Minister: I saw the other guy was taking his Buffalo to the roof top of his house for grazing where grass was found grown. I realised he is the 4th Idiot and brought him to you.
King: Fine. Next.
Minister: When there are so many problems in the functioning of this kingdom, leaving those entire aside I have been going around the State for a month wasting my time in searching for Idiots, hence I am the 3rd Idiot.
King: Laughs out loud. Next.
Minister: Instead of solving all the problems that are there in the Kingdom, you have been looking for Idiots in your State, hence you are the 2nd Idiot.
Hearing this entire Council was scared and there was pin drop silence.
King: Fine there is truth in your statement. Who is the 1st Idiot?
Minister: Your Highness when there are so much of work in the Office and Home to attend to, leaving all this aside person who is reading this Story to know who is the 1st Idiot is the 1st Idiot.
