Griija P. Koirala went to the US to visit his counterpart. When the Senator invited him home for dinner, the minister was very impressed by the lavish mansion, grounds and the costly furnishings. He asked "How can you afford all this on a meagre senator's salary?" The senator smiled knowingly and took him to the window. "Can you see the those fighter jets?" "Yes,of course", said the GPK. "10 per cent", said the senator smugly. Some time later, he had occasion to pay a return visit. GPK lavished all hospitality on him. When they came to his house, the American was stunned by the huge palace GPK had built, glittering with precious art, hundreds of servants etc. etc. "How can you possibly afford this on ur salary in NRs?', he asked. Then GPK called him to the window. "See the aiport there?" "Sure", cried the senator. "Can you see the airoplane there?" The senator looked, was confused, peered closely and said - "yeah, I do see some old and junk Boeing Jets." "100 percent", said GPK!!
