Once a business man had to cross a river for a stock exchange on the riverside. He boarded a boat which was rowed by a layman, whom he particularly didn't like just by the appearance and outfit. Through the course of the journey, he tried to outsmart the rower;
"Do U know bunky- jumping ? Its fun"! "
"Do U know skiing ? Its exhilarating !"
After posting the rhetoric questions, he smiled sarcastically, knowing that the rower would have no clue about them. When they were mid-way, the rower smiled sarcastically back at him; In a humble voice he asked the business man ,
"Do U know swimming ? Its not fun or exhilarating ! But certainly life-saving !!"
The business man was bamboozled by this reply because he never learnt swimming; and, the rower was pointing to a hole in the plank of the boat's bottom !!!
Moral : Before criticizing and advising others; look at yourself ! Don't be a backseat driver !!
