At a breakfast one morning, Babbal singh was telling his wife about the meeting

of his civic club the night before. "The president of the club," he said, "offered a silk hat to the member who would truthfully say that during his married life he had never kissed any woman but his wife. And not a man stood up."

"Why," his wife asked, "didn't you stand up?"

"WELL," said Singh , "I WAS GOING TO, BUT YOU KNOW HOW SILLY I LOOK IN A SILK HAT."
