Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces, “Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news.
Our engines have ceased functioning and we will attempt an emergency landing. Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach. However, the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!”
Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island.
An hour later Rajiv turns to his wife and asks, “Mona, did we pay our Rs 5lakh deposit cheque yet to Bank?”
“No, sweetheart,” she responds.
Rajiv, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks, “Mona, did we pay our Bank Master card yet?”
“Oh no! I’m sorry. I forgot to send the cheque,” she says.
“One last thing, Mona. Did you remember to send cheques for the auto loan to them too this month?” he asks.
“Oh, forgive me, Rajiv,” begged Mona. “I didn’t send that one, either.”
Rajiv grabs her and gives her the biggest hug in 40 years. Mona pulls away and asks him, “So, why did you hug me?”
Rajiv answers, “They’ll find us!!!!”
