A man once asked Gandhi what he thought of western civilization.
Ghandi replied, ”I think it would be a good idea.”

A few hours have passed since October 2nd, Gandhi Jayanti, and now his candles have all been blown out and the birthday boy is a snoozing ghost hovering somewhere up above India Gate preparing to be reincarnated as something new, its time to whip out a few Gandhi jokes…he was, after all, well known for his sense of humour, as well as his bad breath, and helped anorexics everywhere find self esteem by helping them use their talents in hunger strikes. He was actually a pretty weird guy and since we all blame our parents for the various pathologies we inherit, lets remind ourselves of this very odd person who helped make India the proud, pathological nation it is today.
and to celebrate his birthday tastefully why not purchase a plush Bapu Beanie Baby for just $ 14.95 from ebay
Mahatma Gandhi walked barefoot everywhere, to the point that the soles of his feet became quite thick and hard. He was also a spiritual person, and even when he was not on a hunger strike he did not eat much and thus he became quite thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his diet, he wound up with very bad breath. This explains why he became known as a “super calloused fragile mystic vexed with halitosis.”

Here are some little known facts about the father of the nation.
(1) He had a set of false teeth, which he carried in a fold of his loin cloth. He put them in his mouth only when he wanted to eat. After his meal, he took them out, washed them and put them back in his loin cloth again.
(2) Mahatma Gandhi spoke English with an Irish accent, for one of his first teachers was an Irishman.
(3) During the freedom struggle, he wore nothing but a loin cloth , but for years he lived in London and used to wear a silk hat and spats and carried a cane.
(4) He was educated at London University and became an attorney. But the first time he attempted to make a speech in court, his knees trembled, and he was so frightened that he had to sit down in confusion and defeat.
(5) Mahatma Gandhi experimented with diets to see how cheaply he could live and remain healthy. He started living principally on fruit and goats’ milk and olive oil.
6) Gandhi’s pretty teenage girl followers used to fight “hysterically” for the honor of sleeping naked with the Mahatma and cuddling the nude septuagenarian in their arms. (Gandhi was “testing” his vow of chastity in order to gain moral strength for his mighty struggle with Jinnah.) When told there was a man named Freud who said that, despite his declared intention, Gandhi might actually be *enjoying* the caresses of the naked girls, Gandhi continued, unperturbed.
7) his daily greeting was, “Have you had a good bowel movement this morning, sisters?” And he used to participate in giving all the girls in his ashram enemas and they gave him enemas in return.

hi ,
i Heard lot of bad about gandhi, he is not fit to be father of Nation, due to his dirty politics we lost many good leaders, due to his dirty politics we………..
this is stupid u racist mofo.
thank you brian. and how was your bowel movement today sister?
Get a life, you Ghandi hater, and stop believing every thing that left wing moslims and fanatic hindus put on the net.
hey man, I love Gandhi, and personally I have nothing against his obsession with feces- its a part of a whole ayurvedic system where you keep track of what comes out- in fact there are some natural philosophies which even suggest drinking urine- as for the testing his moral resolve with the naked young ladies- this is fairly common knowledge- and as far as I know he didn’t break that resolve- perhaps something useful to do, would be to make critiques based on things that you actually know about- and if you have trouble respecting Gandhi after what you’ve read- that’s not my problem nor was it my intention. Respect without a sense of humor is something that people with very small attention spans do in order to feel safe in the world. Gandhi did a lot of good things for a lot of people but he did a lot of weird things and some rather nasty things to the Dalit community, if you have time to read some history. Anyway, lets not get our panties in a twist- when I put up stuff like this I’m assuming that we are all mature enough to respect someone while having a laugh. In that respect, perhaps I err.
gaqndhi was a bid bloody persen, because of him we lost many leaders. i want to ask a question that why did his wife died this is because of maliarya and a british docter adviced to give a english medicine. but he rejected that and let her died but later he took the same medicine, do u thing he is a self less man.
