Train Stops

I am cozily seated on a chair at the railway platform. A passenger train hoots and pulls into the station. People dash in to claim their seats. In no time everyone settles in and the train is ready to depart. The train slowly starts to move out when the guard at the rear compartment suddenly pulls out the red flag and waves it wildly. The train immediately comes to a grinding halt. There is a sense of discomfort on the platform, people look up anxious and perplexed.
A middle age man and woman run towards the rear of the train and gets in. The guard waves the green flag and the train pulls out normally and everyone gets back to their work or daydreams. Ever seen a train stop because someone was a little late? Well, it happens only in India!

Right foot

Another of those email forwards :-)

How Smart is Your Right Foot?


1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floor and
make clockwise circles.


2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right
hand.


Your foot will change direction. And there's nothing you can do about it!
