Amrita S - July 2, 2010 writes:

Idi Amin , dictator of Uganda , a despot and merciless ruler , once thinks of changing the name of his country from Uganda to Idi. The next day he calls his council of ministers to ask what they think of his idea. None dare oppose or else know would face his wrath and get beheaded - but all thought it was a stupid idea however no one had the guts to voice it ! Idi notices an elderly wise council member sitting with his head down and says in a loud dictatorial way - My wise peer please express your thought on my grand plan . The wise old gentle looks up and says to Idi - Your excellency , there is a country called cyprus the inhabitants are called cypriots........do you still want to change the name to idi? ....Idi Amin dropped the idea instantly... Geez hope you're laughing...
