You can't beat the Indians!!

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

>
> Dear Chandrakantbhai, Arvindbhai, Mohan and Varsha:
> I am sending Ba's body to you, since it was her last wish that she
> 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 Ba's body, 12 cans of
> cheese, 10 packets of Toblerone chocolates and 8 packets of Badam.
> Please divide these among all of you. On Ba'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.
> Ba is wearing 6 American T-shirts. The large size is for Mohan.
> Just distribute the rest among yourselves. The 2 new Jeans that
> Ba's is wearing are for the boys. The Swiss watch that Reema wanted
> is on Ba's left wrist. Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the necklace,
> earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them off her.
> The 6 white cotton socks that Ba is wearing must be divided among
> my nephews. Please distribute all these fairly.
> Love,
> Smita Patel
> P.S.: If you need anything else please let me know soon, Bapuji is
> also not feeling too well nowadays.
