Joke

An Indian farmer received a telegram from his son who was in the Army. The telegram read: "PLEASE SEND MY FAMILY. URGENT. STOP"

Nobody in the village knew English. He went to the government school teacher, the postmaster and everywhere to know what his son had asked for. Nobody could exactly decipher the word family.( Indian soldiers officially use the word ‘family’ for wife).

Disappointed, the farmer came home. Everybody thoroughly searched each corner of the house if his son had forgotten anything valuable when on annual leave vacation.

"GET ANOTHER. WE HAVE SPOILED THIS ONE. STOP
