Raame and Hari:
One day Raame is admitted to the hospital and his friend Hari comes to pay him a visit. All of a sudden, since he is unable to talk because of his illness, Raame makes hand gestures for a piece of paper and a pencil. Hari looks around and finds them. He hands these over to Raame who begins writing weakly.
After he is finished he gives the piece of paper to Hari. He puts it away in his jacket, figuring these were his last words for the family.
The next day Hari discovers that Raame has died. At the funeral Hari unfolds the paper Raame had given him in the hospital and begins to read the words he thought were meant for the family.
The note said: Damnit! You're standing on my oxygen tube!

Once a Sardarji went to give an examination, He slowly started removing his shirt, when he was about to do the same with his trousers, the invigilator quickly stopped him & asked "what the hell was he trying to do"? The sardarji replied that he was trying to follow the instructions given in the Q paper - which said,"Answer in Brief".

A man and his wife were seeking a divorce at a local court. But the custody of their child posed a problem.
The mother jumped to her feet and protested to the judge that since she had brought the child into this world, she should retain custody.
The man also wanted custody of his child. The judge asked for his side of the story too.
After a long moment of silence, the man rose from his chair and argued, 'Your Honour, when I put a dollar in a vending machine and a Pepsi comes out, does the Pepsi belong to me or to the machine?'

You know you're Nepali when you love to make others get into fights, and keep scores.
You know you're Nepali, when you keep coming back and never accept defeat.
You know you're Nepali when you feel victorious when you get the last word in.
Proud to be a Nepali - all the way!

Hey Saroj, I have seen the same list of facts about Indians before. It was titled "how to know that you are a desi." I think those statements apply more to Indians than to Nepalis.
