Drunken Wheelchair Driving!

Drunken Wheelchair Driving!

I wonder whether we should be smiling about it - After all,

• Driving on city roads is bad enough - nothing to smile about;
• Drinking (especially drinking too much) causes all kinds of negative consequences
• Drunken driving - a deadly combo - designed to kill
• Being on a wheel chair - certainly not a cause for smiling by itself.

But then, ... ... ... ... it is not every day that one comes across instances of someone in a wheelchair being accused of "Drunken driving of one's wheelchair" ... ... ... Read on:

Want a proof of "Shining India"?

Want a proof of "Shining India"?

Wé've had anecdotal evidence about the kind of prosperity that Indians have achieved post-1991, post-liberalisation.

However, the fact that this economic prosperity has had other positive side-effects like increasing the average height of Indians is rather interesting.

Impact of Translation

Impact of Translation

Dear friends,

 

Folks who know Tamil will know the pain... of this!! - The purpose is not to hurt the feelings of Tamilians, but to give an illustration of the impact of translation. Please do bear in mind when you watch the latest fancy of a lot of Tamil Channels - Vijay, Sun, Kalignar TV, among others - Of course, I'm referring to the trend of showing Hollywood movies in Tamil!

 

The identity of the original translator of this superhit song of Rajni is unknown.

 

Read on, and enjoy, if you can!

I AM AUTOFELLOW

 

I AM AUTOFELLOW

I am autofellow autofellow
Four knowing route fellow
Justice having rate fellow
Good people mix fellow
Nice singing song fellow
Gandhi borning country fellow
Stick take means hunter fellow
Big people's relation fellow
Mercy having mind fellow da
I am all poor's relative fellow da
I am always poor people's relative fellow da
Achak means achak only; Gumuk means gumuk only
Achak means achak only; Gumuk means gumuk only

Town become big, population become big
Bus expecting, half age over
Life become hectic in time, exist in corner of street
Ada eye beat means love coming they telling
You hand clap means auto coming I telling
Front coming look, this three-wheel chariot
Good come and arrive, you trust and climb up

Mummy motherfolk, danger not leave
Heat or cyclone, never I never tell
There there hunger take means, many savoury
Measurement food is one time
For pregnancy I come free mummy

Letter lacking person ada trusting us and coming
Address lacking street ada auto fellow knowing
Achak means achak only ; Gumuk means gumuk only
Achak means achak only ; Gumuk means gumuk only

HOW IS IT!!!!!!!!

 

Super!

Plane Conversation

Plane Conversation

A stranger was seated next to Little Johnny on the plane when the stranger turned to the Little Johnny and said, "Let's talk. I've heard that flights will go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

Little Johnny, who had just opened his book, closed it slowly, and said to the stranger, "What would you like to discuss?"

"Oh, I don't know," said the stranger. "How about nuclear power?"

"OK," said Little Johnny. "That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first. "A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat grass. The same stuff. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?"

"Jeez," said the stranger. "I have no idea."

"Well, then," said Little Johnny, "How is it that you feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?"

Moral: Kids will be kids - they often know better - Beware of kids!
