Joke Of The Day: 4 Dec 2007

A man was walking towards a sugarcane factory. He stopped to ask a passerby the way to it. The man said that he did not know and moved on. The man however met a friend further down and stopped to ask him if he knew where the sugarcane factory was. The friend replied, “I don’t know. But wait…could he have possibly meant the confectionery factory?” The other man said, “But of course, that was what he would’ve meant.” Both of them screamed out to the man and he went up to them. “Didn’t you mean the confectionery factory?” they asked him. The man thought for a while and replied vaguely, “Well, perhaps yes. Do you know the way to the confectionery factory?” The men looked at each other and nodded their heads, “Well, we don’t know the way to that either.”

In our journey, we need to ask our questions to someone who knows the answers. Most often, we miss the Master in this and follow the mass of ignorance that takes us nowhere.
