At school Little Johnny was told by a classmate that most adults are hiding at least one dark secret, and that this makes it very easy to blackmail them by saying, "I know the whole truth."
Little Johnny decides to go home and try it out. He goes home, and as he is greeted by his mother he says, "I know the whole truth."
His mother quickly hands him $20 and says, "Just don't tell your father."
Quite pleased, the boy waits for his father to get home from work, and greets him with, "I know the whole truth."
The father promptly hands him $40 and says, "Please don't say a word to your mother."
Very pleased, the boy is on his way to school the next day when he sees the mailman at his front door.
The boy greets him by saying, "I know the whole truth."
The mailman immediately drops the mail, opens his arms, and says, "Then come give your Daddy a great big hug!"

Bids for new IPL franchises to be opened today
Two new teams will be added to the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) on Sunday when the bids are opened in Chennai.
The new franchise owners will be able to field their teams from the fourth IPL next year.
The new teams were to be decided on March 7, but due to lukewarm response to the original invitation to tender (ITT), the IPL governing council decided to re-tender by diluting the monetary stipulations for bidders.
Even now, the number of prospective bidders is not likely to increase, despite the recession having receded. A source in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said that the ITT documents have been bought by only a few parties. "Only five parties have deposited their bids so far, but they still have time. The bids will be collected till 10 am and they will be opened at 11 am on Sunday in Chennai," said the source. Earlier, only two parties had bid for the two teams while the third bid had reached the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai after the deadline.
Unreasonably high bank guarantee money and the base price were said to be the main reasons for the lukewarm response.
The cities eligible for inviting bids are Ahmedabad, Nagpur, Kanpur, Dharamsala, Indore, Cuttack, Gwalior and Visakhapatnam.
Additionally, Rajkot and Pune, with stadium already under construction, and Baroda and Kochi, which will be constructing new stadiums, will also be eligible according to the BCCI. However, the source said that a few cities are already out of contention as there are virtually no parties backing them. " There is almost zero chance for Nagpur and Kanpur as so far there are no backers for these cities," he said.
Baidyanath, one of the oldest pharmaceutical companies specializing in ayurvedic medicines; Bapuna Group, specializing in liquor manufacturing; and Neco Group of Industries, which have a strong presence in Nagpur, were believed to be interested in the ' Orange City'. Kanpur and Ahmedabad were the first names to be floated. A London- based party was reportedly interested in the biggest industrial city in Uttar Pradesh, but it later backed out. Even a chewing tobacco manufacturer was said to be keen, but he too has backed out.
According to the earlier bid conditions, only companies or consortiums with a net worth of $ 1 billion and a bank guarantee of $ 100 million were eligible to bid. "In the new process, the winnings bids will be expected to pay a $ 10 million guarantee before the tender documents are opened, and then pay 10 percent of their bid within 48 hours in the event of a successful bid," said the BCCI. The board also said that the base price for each new franchise will be $ 225 million.
Experts feel that by removing the stipulation of an exorbitant advance guarantee, the two new teams are likely fetch more money for IPL - a brainchild of Lalit Modi but owned by the BCCI. " Now, with the diluted monetary stipulations, the final amount at which the teams would be auctioned could be much more than it would have been earlier (March 7, when the initial bids were to be opened)," said an expert.
The eight IPL franchise owners bought the teams at an auction in January 2008. Mumbai Indians emerged as the most expensive team with Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries paying $ 111.9 million to buy the franchise.
Minister of state for external affairs Shashi Tharoor was reported to be interested in bidding for Kochi. But his OSD Jacob Joseph clarified that the minister was not financially involved in the bidding. " He is in this purely for the love of Kerala and the love of cricket," said Joseph, who is in Chennai on behalf of Tharoor for the bidding.
Businessmen from the Gulf are not involved, the OSD added.
"Reports of Tharoor backing an Uttar Pradesh- based industrial house in the bid are false. He is backing businessmen from Kerala, who are either based in the state or elsewhere in the country," said Joseph. "There are industrial groups in Kerala like the Muthoot Group which support other teams because we don't have our own team. We don't want to be the only state in south India which doesn't have an IPL team. Getting our own team would also be a boost for tourism for the state."

First Night Of Honeymoon - Funny
First Night Of Honeymoon
A young couple left the church and arrived at the hotel where they were spending the first night of their honeymoon.
They opened the champagne and began undressing. When the bridegroom removed his socks, his new wife asked, 'What's wrong with your feet? Your toes look all mangled and weird.
'I had tolio as a child,' he answered.
'You mean polio?' she asked.
'No, tolio. The disease only affected my toes.'
When the groom took off his pants, his bride once again asked 'What's wrong with your knees? They're all lumpy and deformed!'
'As a child, I also had kneasles,' he explained.
'You mean measles?' she asked.'No, kneasles. It was a strange illness that only affected my knees.'
The new bride had to be satisfied with this answer.
As the undressing continued, her husband at last removed his underwear.
'Don't tell me,' she said.
'Let me guess.......

Baba Ramdev launches political party Bharat Swabhiman
He’s offered cure for most health problems. Now, he wants to cleanse the political system.Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Tuesday announced his entry into politics by naming his party, the Bharat Swabhiman, but insisted he won’t contest elections. “I will join politics to cleanse the system,” Ramdev said.
Ramdev, whose real name is Ramkishan Yadav, said his party would field candidates in all the 543 Lok Sabha seats in a bid to build a corruption-free India.
“We will have 7-10 lakh members in every district in a year or two,” he said, adding, “I will never contest elections and never take up any political position.” He said the next general election would be a watershed event, “when all the corrupt politicians will be wiped out” once the Bharat Swabhiman andolan becomes a force to reckon with.
“One of the main objectives of the movement is to end corruption and to bring back more than Rs300 lakh crore of black money from abroad for the country’s development,” he said. Baba Ramdev said the recent arrests of self-claimed spiritual gurus on criminal charges were “a very big conspiracy” even if some of them were indeed guilty.
