When his wife, Preeto, returned, he asked her about the people on the trip in general, then casually asked her about the specific behavior of the passenger he knew to be his mistress.
"She slept with nearly every man on the ship," Preeeto reported.
Disheartened Banta then rendezvoused with his cheating mistress to ask her the same questions about his wife Preeto.
"She was a real lady," his mistress said.
"How so?" encouraged Banta asked.
"She came on board with her husband and never left his side."

Santa: "Do you know anything about this fax-machine?"
Banta: "A little. What`s wrong?"
Santa: "Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called back to say all she received was a blank page. I tried it again, and the same thing happened."
Banta: "How did you load the sheet?"
Santa: "I didn`t want anyone else to read it by accident, so I folded it so only the recipient would open it and read it."

A circus owner walked into a bar to see everyone crowded about a table watching a little show.
On the table was an upside-down pot and a duck tap dancing on it. The circus owner was so impressed that he offered to buy the duck from its owner, Banta.
After some wheeling and dealing they settled for Rs 35,000 for the duck and the pot.
Three days later the circus owner runs back to the bar in anger, "Your duck is a rip-off! I put him on the pot before a whole audience and he didn`t dance a single step!"
"Well," said Banta, "Did you remember to light a candle under the pot?"

Santa and Banta were sitting on a tree and Santa was singing a song. After 4 songs Santa hung himself upside down and started singing again.
Banta: Santa what is the matter with you? Why are you hanging upside down?
Santa: I am singing the B side.

There were these two not so bright guys, Santa and Banta, who had to get across the desert. Since they didn't have enough money for a car so they decided to buy a camel.
The camel dealer promised them that the camel would get them across the desert if they made sure he was full of water before they left.
They took the camel down to the water hole, but the camel would not drink.
Santa says, "I have a idea, why don't I hold his head down in the water and you suck on his butt. That way the water will be drawn up into him like a straw."
Banta thought about this for a while and finally agreed.
After a while Santa asks, "Well is it working?"
Banta replied, "I think it is going to work, but you have to pick his head up just a little because I'm just getting mud."
