Nice Story - Lateral Thinking..best example

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.The Moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain.
He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his Daughter.Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal.
So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag.Then the girl would Have to pick one pebble from the bag.
1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.
2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.
3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.
They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles.As he Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two Black pebbles and put them into the bag.
He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag.
Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have Done if you were the girl?If you had to advise her, what would you Have told her?
Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:
1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat.3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.
Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with The hope that it will make us appreciatethe difference between lateral And logical thinking.
The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses The above logical answers.
What would you recommend to the Girl to do?
Well, here is what she did ....
The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.
"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I Picked."
Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had Picked the white one.And since the money-lender dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one.
MORAL OF THE STORY:Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't Attempt to think.

Some rules cannot be followed..

A lady manager of a big reputed office noticed a new man one day and told him to come into his office.
"What is your name?" was the first thing she asked the new guy.
"John," the new guy replied.

She scowled, "Look... I don't know what kind of a namby-pamby place you worked before, but I don't call anyone by their first name. It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority.
I refer to my employees by their last name only ... Smith, Jones, Baker ...that's all.

I am to be referred to only as Mrs. Robertson. Now that we got that straight, what is your last name?"

The new guy sighed, "Darling............ My name is John Darling."
"Okay John, the next thing I want to tell you is . . . "

Hotel Coupons

I remember my friends was telling me a small stroy about resturant coupons. Once upon a time one of the desi resturant in Bay Area used to provide coupons to attract more customers. a group of 10 people went to that resturant and ordered lots of food items. When they got the bill, everyody put the hand in their pockets. Hotel boy was wondering who is going to pay. But everybody put some slip on the table and said we all go tthe coupons. Boy got shock and said "Sir, only one coupon for the bill'. But there i no shock to anyone in this group who had lunch. Immediately they devided items for each one, equel to the coupon amount and asked boy to get the multiple bills and they paid nothing.


:-) poor resturant owner, stopped providing the coupons from then on wards

So guys please do not do suchthings

Good joke - Free haircut

There was a good old barber in Mumbai. One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber and the barber
replies:

I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a Community
Service.

Dflorist is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is a
"Thank You" Card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.

A Confectioner goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber he again refuses to take t! ! he money. The Confectioner is happy and
leaves the shop. The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is another "Thank you" Card and a dozen Cakes waiting at his door.

A Software Engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barberwho again refuses the money saying that it was a community service.
The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there......
