GUJARATI BAA.......(how stingy gujarati's are?????)

A Patel family in Gujarat was puzzled when the coffin of their deadmother arrived from the US. It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead bodywas very tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no space left in it Whenthey opened the lid , they found a letter on top addressed to her brothers and sisters:Dear Chandrakantbhai, Arvindbhai, Mohan and Varsha, I am sending Ba'sbody to you, since it was her wish that she should be cremated in thecompound of our ancestral home in GUJARAT. Sorry, I could not come along as allof my paid leave is consumed. You will find inside thecoffin, under Ba's body, 12 cans of cheese, 10 packets of Toblerchocolates and 8 packets of Badam. Please divide these among all of you. On Ba'sfeet you will find a new pair of Reebok shoes(size 10) for Mohan. There arealso 2 pairs of shoes for Radha's and Lakshmi'ssons. Hope the sizes are correct. Ba is wearing 6 American T-Shirts.The large size is for Mohan. Just distribute the rest among yourselves.The 2 new Jeans that Ba's is wearing are for the boys. The Swiss watch that
Reema wanted is on Ba's left wrist.Shanta masi, Ba is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that youasked for. Please take them off her. The 6 white cotton socks that Ba iswearing must be divided among mynephews. Please distribute all these fairly.
