Santa and Banta Jokes
Examination

Santa Singh is appearing for his University final examination which consists of Y/N type questions. He takes his seat in
the examination hall, stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration takes his wallet out,
removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and marking the answer sheet - Y for Heads and N for Tails. Within half an
hour he is all done whereas the rest of the class is sweating it out. During the last few minutes, he is seen desperately
throwing the coin, swearing and sweating. The invigilator, alarmed, approaches him and asks what is going on. "Oye, I
finished the exam in half and hour". "But yaar", he says, "I am rechecking my answers and am not able to tally them
with what I wrote."

Jesus

Three men were applying for the same job as a detective. One was Santa Singh, one was Jewish, and one was Italian.
The chief decided to ask each applicant just one question and base his decision upon that answer. When the Jewish man
arrived for his interview, the chief asked him, "Who killed Jesus Christ?" The Jewish man answered without hesitation
"The Romans killed him." The chief thanked him and he left. When the Italian man arrived for his interview, the chief
asked the same question. He replied "Jesus was killed by the Jews." Again, the chief thanked the man who then left.
Finally Santa Singh arrived for his interview, he was asked the same question. He thought for a long time, before
saying, "Could I have some time to think about it?" The chief said, "OK, but get back to me tomorrow." When Santa
Singh arrived home, his wife asked "How did the interview go?". Pat came the reply, "Great, I got the job, and I'm
already investigating a murder.


Santa Singh and the Lottery

please help me, I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well, please let me
win the lotto". Lotto night comes and somebody else wins it. Santa Singh goes back to the temple.....................
"Bhagwan, please let me win the lotto, I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well". Lotto
night comes and Santa Singh still has no luck!! Back to the temple.................. "My Bhagwan, why have you forsaken
me? I've lost my business, my house, my car and my wife and children are starving.. I don't often ask you for help and I
have always been a good servant to you. Why won't you just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back
in order???". Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the sky parts open and Santa Singh is confronted by the voice
of Lord : "SANTA SINGH, BUY THE DAMN TICKET FIRST".

Mr.Know All


Banta was bragging to his boss one day,"You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and
I know them." Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Banta how about Tom Cruise?"
"Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it." So Banta and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom
Cruise's door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, "Banta! Great to see you! You and your friend come right in and
join me for lunch!" Although impressed, Banta's boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Banta
that he thinks Banta's knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Banta says. "President
Clinton,"his boss quickly retorts. "Yes," Banta says, "I know him, let's fly out to Washington." At the White House,
Clinton spots Banta on the tour and motions him and his boss over,saying, "Banta, what a surprise, I was just on my
way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and have a cup of coffee first".
Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After they leave the White House, he expresses his
doubts to Banta, who again implores him to name anyone else.
" The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Banta. "My folks are from Poland, and I've known the pope a long time." So
they fly to Rome. Banta and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Banta says, "This will
never work. I can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards so let me just go
upstairs and I'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican.
Sure enough, half an hour later Banta emerges with the Pope on the balcony. But by the time Banta returns, he finds
that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss' side, Banta asks
him, "What happened?" His boss looks up and says,"I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony
and the man next to me said,"Who's that on the balcony with Banta?"

Pakistani soldier is thinking : "Now that's a smart Indian, he steals the kiss and I get slapped." And Santa Singh is
thinking : "Gee I'm smart! We go through the tunnel, I kiss the back of my hand and get away with slapping a
Pakistani soldier."

The Safe Santa

A Santa, a Madrasi and a Gujarati were waiting for a bus when a dangerous-looking guy approached them. He suddenly
pulled out a syringe with blood inside it and said in a menacing tone - "Give me all your valuables or I'll pierce you with
this needle. This contains AIDS infected blood!" Our friends were naturally alarmed - all except the Santa. The Madrasi
immediately gave away all his valuables.

The Gujju bargained with the stranger and gave away half of his belongings. The Santa, however, was unfazed. He
refused to part with his money. In anger and frustration, the guy pricked the Santa with the needle and ran away. The
alarmed Madrasi and Gujju asked the Santa - " How could you do this? Now you will get AIDS surely!" The Santa coolly
replied - " No! I won't! I am wearing a condom".
