Are you looking for some real funny jokes? I just went through some reports on ”fake degrees issue”. Although every degree scandal brings smile to one’s face but I excluded the following to let you laugh out loud.

1. CM Balochistan, when asked for his opinion on bogus degrees replied: “Mera mohqaf saaf hai. Degree degree hoti hai woh asli ho ya jaali ho.” ( My point of view is very clear. A degree is a degree be it authentic or bogus. )

2. Minister for Law, “Dr.” Babar Awan got his PhD from a University of Monticello. This institute is neither recognised nor accredited. The husband and wife who established the varsity were registered in a fraud case for their act in US.

3. Balochistan assembly’s members Sharma Parveen and Israraullah Khan invented a new university in London. They were smart enoug-h to give their schooling place a fancy name: “International University of America, London”

4. PML (Q)’s Noman Langrial followed his father’s footsteps. He also managed to get a fake degree like his father Iqbal Langrial, MPA.

5. The funniest story so far is of PML (N)’s Khawaja M Islam who submitted his FA certificate from Faisalabad Board. According to that certificate, he passed his exam in 1987. However Faisalabad Board was established in 1988. It must be a conspiracy of the ruling dictatorship of that time to procrastinate the project for one year.

6. MNA Mazhar Hayat claimed to have graduated from the prestigous Winsona State University, USA. The university officials were baffled when they found Mr Mazhar Hayat had never attended a single class at the school.

7. Mir Humayun A Kurd thought to become a business graduate. For that sake, he invented a university and named it, ”Eire International University”. His creativity did not end here. He made himself to qualify his BBA with specialisation in marketing.

Do respond, how were these seven jokes?
