Crossing the River

Once Santa Singh is out for a walk. He comes to a river and sees banta Singh on the opposite bank. "Yoohoo" He shouts, "How can I get to the other side?" Banta Singh looks up the river then down the river then shouts back, "You are on the other side." Three men were stranded on an uninhabited island. One was Hindu, one a Muslim, and the other a Surd. The only way back home was to swim 100 miles to the next island, which was inhabited. The Muslim was so determined to get home that he tried to swim. He made it 50 miles, got tired, and drowned. Then the Hindu tried. He made it 75 miles, but got tired and drowned, too. The Surdar thought he could make it all the way, so he started swimming. He swam 50 miles, but started getting tired, so he swam all the way back to the island.
