A britisher was driving his Rolls Royce on the streets of Calcutta, he was running late to his 4:00 pm tea, cucumber sandwiches and biscuits meeting with the Earl of Bengal. In front of him was an Indian rickshaw driver on his way to pick up his daughter from school, it was the last day of school and they had planned to go to the fair afterwards to meet up with rest of their family and spend the evening taking the different rides.
Frustrated at the thought of being late for his meeting, the britisher yelled at the rickshaw driver to drive faster, since they were on a single lane highway. The Indian rickshaw driver calmly replied, "sir, you can certainly be the overtaker, while I will be your undertaker"
At this point the britisher was SHOCKED and realized his folly of driving recklessly, and he asked the rickshaw driver to stop his vehicle and reward him with FIFTY RUPEES and offered him a job as his personal driver. Who was the britisher? Louis Francis Albert Victor Nicholas Mountbatten!!
