Summer Laugh

Today is the last day of May 2009. It is hot and with rain in the early morning it is humid too. So instead of putting something serious I thought it prudent to give something light for taking mind of hot & humid weather with little laugh. The one which was intended will follow in a day or so.

We live in a small lane off the main busy road with just about 8 small cottages – four on each side with a dead end. It is nice and peaceful. There are offices, commercial establishments on the other side of the main road. There lived a huge mixed breed dog in the lane and he was liked by one & all. He used to ensure no unwanted person had easy access to this lane. He used to escort children to and back from school bus stop. No vendor could raise his hawking voice more than certain decibel and pitch so as not to disturb peace, specially in the afternoons. All of us loved him and gave him something or the other to eat but he was choosy. One day while chasing away an adamant intruder he got run over by bus on the main road. We all felt sad and got together to give him a decent send off in the municipal crematorium for pets. Though we all felt sad one boy who was working for a push cart vendor on the corner of our lane was crying inconsolably. They served food for workers in the office opposite. We tried to pacify him that it was God’s will etc. Over his sobs we heard him say “ Now who will help me clean the dishes”.

In our locality community park we used to see a man walking briskly mornings and evenings. He looked about 40ish. We were astonished to learn that he was about 70. We all wondered how was it possible. So one day someone dared ask him secret of this. He said when he got married he and his wife made a pact that whenever one of them felt that the other was being too overbearing he or she would go for a walk instead of being angry and getting into arguments. So when asked did it work. His reply was don’t you people see my fitness, I started walking most of the day from the first day after wedding and am yet to spend time at home except for meals or rest.

A doctor was advising his patient in 50s ‘ to live for another 30 years give up drinking, flirting, surfing net and sleeping late in the mornings’. His patient replied ‘then what is the idea of living.’

A man touching 80 got married to a girl in early 20s. His friend who was doctor too advised him ‘ take a similar age boarder for keeping company to your wife.’ The old man agreed. They met after about 6 months. Doctor asked ‘ how is everything going.’ Old man replied ‘ couldn’t be better. My wife is 4 months pregnant.’ Doctor was happy and asked ‘ so you took my advice about taking a boarder.’ Old man said ‘ yes and she is pregnant too’.

Well, friends that is to keep you in good mood to welcome JUNE,2009.
