Funny stuff

Somethings simply crack you up and you end up doubling up with laughter. A lot of "up"s for one sentence, but never mind. The last occasion I can recall took place just last weekend when everyone had come over to our place for the usual Friday night celebration. We ended up playing 'Teen Patti' until the wee hours of the morning (who came up with that term anyway? wee hours...) and man was it fun. A few of the guys aren't that familiar with the game and since we weren't playing for real money, one of them decided to go all-in, many times over, and losing almost every time. So now he owes three guys a lot of money. Surprisingly he manages to win a handsome amount in one hand and decides to pay people off. The guy he owes almost 750 bucks takes everything and starts paying off the other guys with the loot. You might not find it as funny but after distributing it among the other guys, he was only left with 5 bucks for himself. 5 out of 750 paid off! That just put everyone in a fit of laughter and how my stomach ached! Took me almost 5 minutes to stop laughing and even now I do the proverbial LOL when I think about it.

Another incident that sticks out in my memory is that from college. We were sitting near the flag post and somehow a discussion on VS Naipaul's true nationality sprung up and I don't think I've ever laughed harder in my life (the details for this section have been edited for public interest).

Then there are these really bad PJs that are so bad that they're awesome! Allow me to demonstrate (only people familiar with Hindi would get some of these jokes, am too lazy to translate so please ignore what you don't understand):

1. A couple is sitting on the stairs, staring into each other's eyes and suddenly they find themselves in the middle of a desert. How come? - "Aankhon hi aankhon mein ishara hogaya, baithe baithe jeene ka sahara hogaya". Get it? :P
2. Two sardars (forgive me if you're the racially sensitive kinds, but a sardar joke is a sardar joke) capture a Terrorist and give him a dice and say "If you roll a 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, you are a dead man." The Terrorist asks "what if I get a 6?" to which the sardars smile and say "Aha! But of course you get to roll again!"
3. How do you differentiate between a Murga and a Murgi? - Hurl a stone at it, bhaga to murga, bhagi to murgi. :D
4. This is one of my ultimate favorites: There is an elephant couple, Dumpa and Dumpy. One fine day, Dumpa dumps Dumpy so he becomes very sad. Dumpy's friend Pumpy comes along and asks him "Why are you down in the dumps? Let's go and play in the park". So they go to the park and sit on opposite ends of the see-saw. But alas, it breaks and both of them fall down. What is the moral of the story? - "See-saw ho ya dil ho, aakhir toot jaata hai..." :D :P

UPDATE: Due to public interest and contributions, here are a few additions:

1. Manas says: Why are all the girls standing on the bridge madly in love?
   Because "Jo hai albela, mrignaino wala, uski diwani BRIDGE ki har bala, woh kisna hai"
2. Vivek says: There was a pregnant lady carrying a miraculous baby girl inside her. The girl could see what was going on outside and even see the future. One day the girl saw a lady called Sapna driving a Tata Nano. Sapna was also pregnant with a baby boy. The girl could tell that this boy would become her boyfriend in the future. Now, what did the girl start singing? - (**brace yourself**) - "NANO mein Sapna, Sapna mein Sajna, Sajna pe dil aayega, O Sajna pe dil aayega" :P :P :P

Disclaimer: I can not be held responsible for any kind of brain damage. You came, you saw the words "really bad PJs" and still decided to read on.

High: Danced my arse off after ages. Was so tired, couldn't even eat!

Low: Some people just don't get it.

Points: To me, if you laughed while reading this post.
