BONAPARTE!

Ever heard of Napoleon Bonaparte? If yes, you dont need to click the link in blue. If no, click the sentences in blue for your knowledge about that person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_I

Lets get to the point. During our English class, teacher asked one of our classmate to read 'Why do they drive on the left in Britain and on the right in other countries?' (The answer is very long. Dont bother to read it if you dont want to) Answers are in blue. The reason for this goes back to the days when people travelled by horse. Most people are right-handed, and thus the left is the natural side to ride on if you are on horseback and need your right hand to hold a sword in case of trouble. So why didnt the rest of the world do the same? Because of Napoleon Bonaparte. He insisted that his armies marched on the right, and as he marched through Europe, he imposed this rule wherever he went. In the twentieth century Adolf Hitler did the same. Signs reading 'Rechts fahren' were put up whenever he took over a country. The question suggests that only the British dtive on the left. but in fact, out of 178 countries in the world, there are about 50 that drive on the left including Japan. However, most of them are former British Colonies.

Our classmate who was chosen to read this was a girl. She was reading perfectly untill the part 'because of Napoleon Bonaparte' She read the 'Bonaparte' like this BO NA PAR TAY and everyone burst out laughing out loud cause it sounded like the way Indians speak. Even I kept on laughing untill I step inside the car. Our English period was the last period thats why. I told that to my mom and she didnt even laugh. Failed Joke.

According to me: FAILED JOKE IS FUNNIER THAN REAL JOKE.
