One of Those Days

(Quip for the above pic: She's referring to his art of swinging on trees, of course.*most innocent smile*)

Thought for the day: We the willing, following the unknowing are doing the impossible. We have done so much for so long with so little that we are now able to do anything with nothing.

Oops…this seems like one of THOSE days, when callers are out to get,nee, bug me. Why else would there be five calls already, in 45 minutes, all of the idiotic kind. Like, the most recent one:
My cellphone flashes(I’ve kept it on silent mode since 3 months now):
Me: Hello
Him: (Breathing heavily) (I thought he’d just climbed up a set of stairs, or down them?)
Me: Hello(Slightly Irritated)
Him: Yaaaas?Who you?
Me: You called, not me.
Him: (Disconnects)

Thankfully, today’s Thursday, so many people have a half-day, so, it’ll probably go on only till afternoon. (We work full day, with Fri-Sat off).

At last: Mehak sent me the true story of the evolution of the topiwaala Resham-iya. Here it is:
----
Is ‘shop-keeper’ a synonym for ‘make-a-fast-buck’? At least, that’s what it seems- like, for example, when the price of gold drops, shopkeepers suddenly run out of the auric(aural) stuff, especially the coins. When it goes up again, even if it’s the next day, the stocks reappear.

Or, take an example of going shopping for clothes, in a bargain zone…the shopkeeper has to give you a price which is three times the real price of the product. If you buy it, he laughs and laughs. If you bargain and get it at half price, you laugh, thinking ‘ There’s one (sucker) born every minute’. But, he laughs harder, probably saying ‘There’s one (bigger sucker) born every minute.’

I observed this when we went to purchase a dining table set some months back. After hard bargaining and bringing the price down to less than half of what he said, and, what seemed reasonable compared to the dozen odd shops we had been to, we had taken the bill and were leaving, when I remembered seeing another piece of furniture which looked nice- so, I went back, and I see the guy in his Pathani suit, dancing a jig, waving the money about. LOL….well, I usually pass such events off as ‘my good deed for the day.’ Though, I did wonder what his actual cost was?

Tell me, bloggers, can you remember any incident where you feel you made a monkey out of someone who felt he/she made a monkey of you? (No, not by being mean to a trusting person, but, monkey as in, something which made you smile afterwards).

End jokes:

Old Aunt Cora went to her doctor to see what could be done about her troublesome constipation. "It's terrible," she said to the doctor. "I haven't moved my bowels in more than a week." "I see. Have you done anything about it?" asked the doctor. "Oh, yes," Aunt Cora replied, "I sit in the bathroom for a good half of an hour in the morning and then again at night." "No," the doctor said, "I mean do you takeanything?" "Of course I do." she answered, "I take a magazine!"

Man at supermarket: Give me a deodorant
Supermarket guy: Aerosol?
Man: No, for under-arms.

(Please don’t ask me to explain this..it took me a few minutes and reading it twice to comprehend…grin grin)

And, now, the favourite blonde jokes:
Q: What is the difference between blondes and traffic signs?

A: Some traffic signs say stop.

Lastly:
Good girls say "no".

Bad girls say "when?"

Naughty girls don't say anything, they just moan and scream a lot.

Till next time, keep smiling.
