You'll forget your English by the time you finish reading this.
This is a true essay written by a CSS candidate at the CSS Exam held in year 2002-2003 in Islamabad . The candidate has written an essay on Cow:


"COW"

He is the cow. "The cow is a successful animal. Also he is 4 footed. And because he is female, he gives milks, [but will do so when he is got child.]. He is same like-God, sacred to Hindus and useful to man. But he has got four legs together. Two are forward and two are afterwards. His whole body can be utilized for use. More so the milk. Milk comes from 4 taps attached to his basement. [horses don't have any such attachment]

What can it do? Various ghee, butter, cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so forth. Also he is useful to cobbler, water mans and mankind generally.. His motion is slow only because he is of lazy species. Also his other motion. {gober} is much useful to trees, plants as well as for making flat cakes [like Pizza], in hand, and drying in the sun.

Cow is the only animal that extricates his feeding after eating.. Then afterwards he chews with his teeth that are situated in the inside of the mouth. He is incessantly in the meadows in the grass. His only attacking and defending organ is the horns, specially so when he is got child. This is done by knowing his head whereby he causes the weapons to be paralleled to the ground of the earth and instantly proceed with great velocity forwards. He has got tails also, situated in the backyard, but not like similar animals. It has hairs on the other end of the other side. This is done to frighten away the flies which alight on his cohesive body here upon he gives hit with it. The palms of his feet are soft unto the touch. So the grasses head is not crushed. At night time have poses by looking down on the ground and he shouts. His eyes and nose are like his other relatives.

This is the cow.


We have come to know that this guy passed the exam and now working as DC somewhere in Punjab !!!

I would think this is a joke. I have received several e-mails with this. Sometimes the student was stated to be from CBSE, sometimes from some other Indian institute. Probably this did not happen at all.

We Indians and Pakistanis hate each other so much that in this small funny things we tend to fight. Fact of the matter is English is not our mother tongue. It is our slave mentality that we want ppl to speak perfect English.

Bhai
let me pass on a few gems from my time in England. It may have something to do with the technical language of medicine, and also to my accent ,which is definately not British.
A lady who had had Splenectomy was given a vaccine against H. Influenzae, I dictated"and following the splenectomy she was inoculated against H. Influenzae(ReadInfluenzie). The letter was typed"and following her splenectomy she was innoculated against itch and frenzy"
Another gem from another clinicwhere benign was typed as B9.
So there you have it, form the typewriter of the English themselves. As they say "Some mothers do have 'em"
WaSalam

Another famous statement from a great teacher from jamshoro Engineering University.Hyderabad Sindh.
"Baba, cant you see i am busy , Come to me beyond the class when i am empty"
