Prime
Minister's Identity... Prime
Minister Man Mohan Singh walks into State Bank
of India
to cash a cheque. As he approaches the cashier
he says: 'Good Morning, Ma'am, could you please
cash this cheque for me?'
Cashier: 'It
would be my pleasure, Sir. Could you please show
me your ID?'
PM: (utterly shocked) 'I did
not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there
was any need. I am Man Mohan Singh, "THE Prime
Minister of India!'
Cashier:
'Yes Sir, I know who you are, but with all the
regulations and monitoring of the banks because
of impostors and forgers, etc., I must insist on
seeing your ID.'
PM: 'Just ask anyone
here at the Bank who I am and they will tell
you. Everybody knows who I am!'
Cashier:
'I am sorry Mr. Prime Minister, but these are
the bank rules and I must follow them
strictly.'
PM: 'I am urging you, please,
to cash this cheque. Soniaji has gone to America
and Rahulji has, by mistake, taken the keys of
the safe with him. I need some extra spending
money urgently.'
Cashier: 'Look Mr. Prime
Minister, this is what we can do. Some months
back, Baba Ramdev came into the bank without ID.
To prove he was Ramdev, he pulled his tummy in
so much that it went and touched his back. With
that feat, we knew him to be Baba Ramdev and
cashed his cheque. On another occasion, Yuvraj
Singh came in without his ID. To prove his
identity, he just went out and hit six
consecutive sixers. With that we knew for
certain that he was indeed Yuvi himself, and we
cashed his cheque. So, Mr. Prime Minister, what
can you do to prove that it is you, and only
you, as the Prime Minister of
India?'
PM
stood there thinking, thinking and thinking, and
finally said: 'Honestly, my mind is totally
blank ~ there is nothing that comes to my
mind... I can't think of a single
thing!!!'
Cashier: 'There you are! That
is enough. Now I don't have any doubt that you
are our Prime Minister Dr.Man Mohan Singh. In
what denominations would you like the cash, Mr.
Prime
Minister?
