Silent wife

What kind of man always tells his wife to be silent?

A hushband.

What's to eat?

This one is from VR.

‎
"Hey Mom, what's there to eat?"

His Mom throws a stone at him.

"Hey! I just asked for something to eat!

Mom: "हम eat का जवाब पत्थर से देते हैं ..."

संता की दवाई

संता सिंह के चुटकुले इतने प्रचारित हैं की अब हम अपने संता चुटकुले बनाने लग गए हैं. यह अँ. द. ने पेश किया है:

संता डॉक्टर के पास गया, फिर पर्ची चेमिस्ट के पास ले गया. जब वह घर पहुंचा, उसने सारी दवाइयां कूड़ेदान में फ़ेंक दीं.

प्रीतो काफी खिज गयी. उसने पूछा कि डॉक्टर के पास गया ही क्यों.

"अरे, डॉक्टर ने भी तो जीना है."

"अच्छा, तो चेमिस्ट से दवाइयां क्यों लीं?"

"उसने भी तो जीना है."

"तो फिर सारी दवाइयां कूड़े में क्यों फ़ेंक दीं??"

"अरे प्रीतो, मैंने भी तो जीना है!!"

Santa's medicine

Santa Singh has become so popular, that he stars in original jokes, too. This one is from AD.

Santa went to the doctor, then he took the prescription to the chemist. When he got home he threw the medicines in the dustbin.

Preeto was pretty annoyed. She asked him why he went to the doctor.

"He needs to make a living."

"And the compounder?"

"Ditto."

"And why are the medicines in the dustbin?"

"Hey! I need to live, too!"

Satyajit Ray inspires

Satyajit Ray was a film maker known for his eye for detail. Also, because of his fame, many people were inspired by him in many ways. Once, on a set he commented that the lighting was bad and a little dog in one corner of a shot was looking a little green. This observation of his was later made into a song based on miya-malhaar, which goes "Bole Ray puppy hara..."


Thanks, AD!

Army officer's desire

Why did the dyed-in-the-wool Army Officer object to his wife calling him "Ay ji"?

Because he preferred "OG".

Dyslexic thought for the day

To fully appreciate this one, first read the thought for the day (posted 28 Feb).

So, here goes with the Dyslexic thought for the day:

The pun is mightier than the words.

More Deft-nitions

Self-fulfilling prophecy:

Seeing a rotee on a tavaa and predicting that it will puff up on its own.

Useful chemical

The Chemistry teacher told the class that they would now be told the uses of the chemicals they had been studying.

"For example, do you know where benzene is used?" she asked.

She was surprised when Chantu raised his hand.

"Yes, ma'm," he said. "It is used in making Mercedes Benzes."
