1. Women are unpredictable. Before marriage, she expects a man, after marriage she suspects him, and after death she respects him.
2.There was this guy who told his woman that he loved her so much that he would go thru hell for her. They got married - and now he is going thru hell.
3.A man inserted an 'ad' in the classifieds : " Wife wanted". Next day, he received a hundred letters. They all said the same thing "You can have mine."
4. When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.
5. It's easy to tell if a man is married or not. Just watch him drive a car with a woman sitting beside him. If both his hands are on the wheel, you can be sure he is married.
6. A man received a letter from some kidnappers. The letter said, "If you don't promise to send us $100,000, we promise you we will kidnap your wife." The poor man wrote back, " I am afraid I can't keep my promise but I hope you will keep yours."
7. "What's the matter, you look depressed." "I'm having trouble with my wife." "What happened?" "She said she wasn't going to speak to me for 30 days." But that ought to make you happy." "It did, but today is the last day."
8."Darling," whispered a frail little husband from his chair. " I'm very sick, would you please call me a vet?". "A vet? Why do you want a vet and not a medical doctor?" The husband replied. Because I work like a horse,live like a dog, and have to sleep with a silly cow."

Overhaul in Aus immigration rules to affect 20,000 applicants
In a bid to curb ‘back door´ permanent residency through its skilled migration scheme, Australian government has decided to overhaul the immigration rules which is likely to affect over 20,000 visa applicants, including Indians.
The changes would focus on overhauling of the queueing system that identifies occupations in demand and creates a points system.
The Immigration Minister would have the new legal authority to set a maximum number of visas for a single occupation. The state governments would be asked to develop new migration plans.
The Australian immigration department would tightened the rules from today, The Age reported.
Foreign students, who have a qualification for an occupation which is no longer in demand, could apply for a temporary 18-month visa.
This would allow them to gain work experience and give a foreign graduate time to find an employer willing to sponsor their application as a skilled migrant, and if they failed in their attempt they will have to return to their country of origin.
The cancelled applications apply to all offshore general skilled migration claims lodged before September 2007. For onshore overseas students, government would introduce transitional arrangements to apply until 2012.
Indian pleads guilty in intl brokerage hacking scheme
An Indian man has pleaded guilty to participating in an international fraud scheme to hack online brokerage accounts in the US and use them to manipulate stock prices to reap thousands of dollars in illegal profits and faces up to 7 years in prison during the April 26 sentencing.
35-year-old Jaisankar Marimuthu, a native of Chennai, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, securities fraud, computer fraud and aggravated identity theft, and to one count of aggravated identity theft before US District Magistrate Judge FA Gossett III in Omaha, Nebraska on February 5.
Marimuthu, who was extradited to the US in June 2009 for trial following his arrest in Hong Kong, faces up to seven years in prison, a maximum fine of USD 500,000 and three years of supervised release following his prison term.
Sentencing has been set for April 26 before US District Court Judge Laurie Smith Camp.
According to the indictment, Marimuthu was part of a conspiracy operated out of Thailand and India between February and December 2006 in which the prices of thinly-traded securities were fraudulently inflated by hacking into brokerage accounts in the US and then illegally using the accounts to make large unauthorised purchases of securities in the name of unsuspecting customers.
After the price of the securities had been artificially increased or "pumped up" through the bogus trading, Marimuthu admitted that the conspirators' own holdings of the securities would be sold at profit.
NRI accuses Amnesty of favouring 'pro-Taliban activists'
An NRI working for Amnesty International on Sunday accused the global human rights body of putting the rights of al-Qaeda terror suspects above those of their victims.
Gita Sahgal, the head of the gender unit of Amnesty's International secretariat, alleged that putting the human rights of al-Qaeda terror suspects above those of their victims had "damaged"' the organisation.
She believes that collaborating with Moazzam Begg, a former British inmate at Guantanamo Bay, "fundamentally damages" the organisation's reputation.
Sahgal describes Begg as "Britain's most famous supporter of the Taliban". He has championed the rights of jailed al-Qaeda members and hate preachers, including Anwar al-Awlaki, the alleged spiritual mentor of the Christmas Day Detroit plane bomber.
Amnesty this weekend said it had launched an internal inquiry after Sahgal raised her concerns with bosses, including Allen and Chaudio Cordone, the interim secretary-general.
In an email sent to Amnesty's top bosses, Sahgal suggested the charity has mistakenly allied itself with Begg and his "jihadi" group, Cageprisoners, out of fear of being branded racist and Islamophobic.
Anne Fitzgerald, policy director of Amnesty's international secretariat, said the charity had formed a relationship with Begg because he was a "compelling speaker" on detention. She said he had been paid expenses for his attendance at its events.
