Gujju...funeral!!!

A Patel family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of their dead
mother arrived from the US. It was sent by one of the daughters. The
dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space
left in it when they opened the lid; they found a letter on top
addressed to her brothers and sisters:


Dear Chandrakantbhai, Arvindbhai, Mohan and Varsa,

I am sending Mother's body to you, since it was her wish that she should be
cremated in the compound of our ancestral home in GUJARAT. Sorry, I
could not come along as all of my paid leave is consumed. You will find inside
the coffin, under Mother's body, 12 cans of cheese, 10 packets of Tobler
chocolates and 8 packets of Badam. Please divide these among all of you. On Mother's feet you will find a new pair of Reebok shoes (size 10) for Mohan. There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Radha's and Lakshmi's sons. Hope the sizes are
correct.
Mother is wearing 6 American T-Shirts. The large size is for Mohan. Just
distribute the rest among yourselves. The 2 new Jeans that Mother's is
wearing are for the boys. The Swiss watch that Reema wanted is on Mother's left
wrist.
Shanta masi, Mother is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you
asked for. Please take them off her.

The 6 white cotton socks that Motheris wearing must be divided among my
nephews. Please distribute all these fairly.

Love Smita

PS: And if anything more required let me know soon as father is also
not feeling too well nowadays...:D
