   Aha!  I considered posting something to the effect of "that 'joke' isn't 
one, and is probably a nonsense troll," but figured it wouldn't do any 
good and might start another of the perennial Indian-(lack-of-)grammar 
flamespurts. But I guess there was a valid --- if not sidesplittingly 
funny --- joke hiding not too far away from what "Ufit" posted, after all.
