Banta Singh was a steward for Amritsir airlines. He watched as Sardar Santa Singh boarded the plane holding a dog in a cage. “Excuse me,” said Banta Singh “dogs are not allowed on board, you have to check it in with the baggage.” Santa Singh wasn’t happy, but Banta Singh was an experienced steward and succeeded in convincing the Santa Singh without much of a scene. Upon arrival, Banta Singh took a peek in the cage, and to his great surprise, saw that the dog was dead! Frantic that they may get sued, Banta Singh quickly sent one of his underlings out to town to buy a dog that looked exactly the same. Just in the nick of time the underling arrived with the dog They quickly switched dogs and breathed a sigh of relief. “This isn’t my dog!” said Santa Singh as soon as he saw it. “I’m sure it is” insisted Banta Singh “I was very careful about where I put it.” “It’s not my dog” argued Santa Singh, “you see, I was bringing my dog to my home town to have him buried, and this dog is alive!”
