All about the Caption
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.
 
I wish I could take the credit for crafting such a clever verse. Alas, it is not me, but worthy of sharing just the same. :)
 
The best property of any Great person is the Uniqueness in their Personality.
Having unique Personality and having non-violent thoughts, he was successful in whatever he did.
 
Nice find Terry! Very close to the lyrics of that song ;-) Isnt it odd that Gandhi fought british colonialism in South Africa first, then successfully in India and it took around 50 more years for SA to finally get rid of Apartheid?
 
That's because SA was totally became dependent on British economy for long Period. The Apartheid was due to difference in the Lifestyle of Whites and Blacks.
India maintained itself strong against British Rule while accepting their Culture too. Having more than 25 languages in itself, it's an Only non English country with more than 60% people can speak English, making it second official language.

Not quite as clever, but along the same line...


An elementary school bus driver begins his rounds on monday morning, picking kids up for school. It should be noted, however, that because many elementary school children cannot yet read, they need symbols to identify the correct bus to take. This particular driver's bus was adorned with a picture of the Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie.

At the first stop, the bus driver picks up Patty, a little girl with a bit of a weight problem.

At the second stop, the bus driver picks up another little girl named Patty. She, too, has a weight problem.

At the third stop, the bus driver picks up a Special Ed. student named Ross, who has minor mental retardation.

At the fourth stop, the bus driver picks up a boy named Lester G. Now, Lester G. is a bit of a gross kid, and as they ride along, Lester decides to remove his socks and shoes and begins to pick at the many bunions on his feet.

Finally, after what seems like an eternity, they reach the elementary school, and all the kids get off the bus. At this point, the bus driver calls his wife, who asks him how his morning was. "Just terrible!" He replies, "I had two obese Patties, special Ross, Lester G. pickin' bunions on a Sesame Street bus!"
 
No where near as funny as the Gandhi one. Also a fan of the Sesame street bus.

Along the same lines though:

Frog goes into the bank, asks for a lone. Loan officer Patty Wak asks if he has any collateral. He holds up an odd gold sort of cuckoo clock but with frogs instead of birds that come out. Patty Wak. has no idea what it is. "One moment," she says. "Let me see if we can accept ... that." So she goes into the bank president's office, explains that there's a frog outside wanting a loan. When the bank president asks if the frog has collateral, she says "Well yes. This. But I have no idea what it is." The bank manager barks "Why it's a nicknack Patty Wak. Give the frog a loan!"

....

3 Photogs on an expedition to get a pic of the never before photographed Foo bird. Everyone who's every gone out to snap pictures of it have never returned. Walking in the jungle, they hear the distinctive "Kakaw Woopy -- Kakaw Woopy" of the Foo bird, they ready their cams. Photog 1 raises his camera as the shadow of the gaint Foo bird flies above and craps on his head. Screaming in disgust the photog wipes the poo off and dies instantly. Unsettled the other two carry on. Again they hear the "Kakaw Woopy -- Kakaw Woopy". The winged shadow overtakes them and this time it's Potog 2 who's pelted with poo. He too screams, wipes the poo off, dies. Finally, when the same thing happens to Photog 3, he screams, instinctively begins to wipe the poo off, but stops himself - and lives!

He becomes a renowned Ornithologist, having the only pictures of the Foo bird in existence. But he's still covered in Foo poo. Unlike regular poo, it doesn't dry and lose it's odor. The guy stinks! It ruins his life. No family, no friends. One day while riding the subway with all of the passengers crammed into the opposite end of the car, avoiding him like some leper, he snaps. "Ah I can't take it. I can't take it anymore." And he wipes the poo off ... and dies immediately.

The moral of this story?

If the Foo shlts. Wear it.
