It was a closed door roundtable conference. 25 print delegates. One delegate is attending it for the first time. When someone next to him jumps to his feet, shouts: "Hundred and seven" and all the other delegates applaud. Another shouts back, "Seven thousand and thirteen", and gets a standing ovation.
The new delegate asks, what is going on?
"It's like this, we talk about quality standards and colour specs and such in these round tables. By now, everyone knows all the standards by heart. So instead of telling the whole joke, we just stand up and shout the number, " says the neighbour.
The next time there is a roundtable, the new delegate decides that's it's his turn to join in. He stands up and shouts, "Fourteen".
Total silence ensues. Turning to the earlier neighbour, he enquires, what went wrong?
"Fourteen has been phased out last year. You should have said Fourteen Version Two!"

She turned to her husband, and asked, "Jaan, how is it?"
The husband replied, "Not bad. But cyan main mis-resgitration hain."
