Funny.......................
An NGO office realized that they had never received a donation from the town's most successful Sindhi lawyer. The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.
"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least Rs 60,00,000 you give not a paisa to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"
The Sindhi mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"
Embarrassed, the NGO rep mumbled, "Um ...no."
The Sindhi interrupts, "or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?"
The stricken NGO rep began to stammer out an apology, but was interrupted again.
"or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the Sindhi's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"
The humiliated NGO rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."
On a roll, the Sindhi cut him off once again, "If I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?"
