Fastest Thing in the World

"Very good answer," said the President.

asked the president. "A blink," replied the Gujju almost
instantaneously, "cos you don't think about a blink. It's a reflex."
"Good answer," replied the president.
Next was the Bengali, "What's the fastest thing in the world?" asked
the president. The Bengali thought for a moment, "Electricity,

Finally, it was our Santa's turn. "What`s the fastest thing in the
world?" asked the president. Scratching his head Santa replied: "Diarrhoea,
because last night after dinner I was lying on my bed when I got
