Happy Memories

 Why do we love jokes? That is because they leave a track record of happy memories in our minds, right? Okay, look at this play on words beyond a typical PJ. The joke is as follows:"Which part of a laptop does an astronaut love the most?" No, it is not the RAM nor the software as expected. Rather it is a memorable play on words. "It is the space bar".

 Let us look at another joke which is a cheeky comment on harsh reality, hard facts, and hence is memorable. Makkhan Singh reaches Kanaiida (Canada, as pronounced thereabouts) the 'Dunki' way. He does not get the much awaited job though. While wandering here and there, he meets an agent who offers him the job of draping as a bear, and sharing the cage of a lion.

Makkhan is afraid actually, but has no other go. Willy-nilly he has to accept the job. Terror-stricken, he enters the cage. The lion is inching towards him. At that last moment, an amazed Makkhan says:’’ Ari,O, Kartara, tu itthe kitthe?" Murmurs the lion, "Hum sare itthech." A wonderful comment on the dream job abroad, most often pittance paid and highly dangerous, given the uncertainty of a pink slip! 

Let us look at one more before we bid good bye for the day. What with Delhi @ 52 degree celcius, whether real or a bureaucratic embarassment, this one should stick around like plaster! It is 2 a.m. A man in pyjamas walks in to the kitchen, gets the thanda, thanda, kook, kool. Back in his bedroom, before he can take a swig, he sees three mosquitoes floating around. As he reaches for the mosquito repellent racquet, a mosquito buzzes past, and hums in his ear, "God promise, we will not bite you. But allow us to stay in this air conditioned room, please!"

Pratima@ Why remember jokes today? Well, as May 31 is the birthday of my bro, Sanju, this is to wish him a 'Happy Birthday' with jokes, as he loves both, listening to them and making them up!
