Y&K

writing by TS

    Yusuf and Khatiza were flying to Australia for a two-week vacation to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
    Suddenly, over the public address system, the Captain announces,”Ladies and Gentlemen, I am afraid I have some very bad news.
    Our engines have ceased functioning, and we will attempt an emergency landing.
    Luckily, I see an uncharted island below us and we should be able to land on the beach.
    However, the odds are that we may never be rescued and will have to live on the island for the rest of our lives!”
    Thanks to the skill of the flight crew, the plane lands safely on the island.
    An hour later Yusuf turns to his wife and asks, “Khatiza, did we pay our quarterly dues check to the bandra jamaat yet?”
    “No, sweetheart,” she responds.
    Yusuf, still shaken from the crash landing, then asks,”Khatiza, did we pay our wajebad?”
    “Oy, no! I’m sorry. I forgot to send the check,” she says.
    “One last thing, Khatiza. Did you remember to send a check for the installing the lift in the bandra mosque fund,” he asks
    “Oy, forgive me, Yusuf,” begged Khatiza. “I didn’t send that one, either.”
    Yusuf grabs her and gives her the biggest kiss in 40 years.
    Khatiza pulls away and asks him, “So, why did you kiss me?”
    Yusuf - “They’ll find us.”
