Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Happy Birthday and enjoy your birthday gift. I presume the rest of your family have also partaken of your b'day gift....have a great time. cheers Malini With regards L / M Prasad lp1960@... Wish you a very happy day A Birthday High Trrrring! The doorbell stridently announces the dawn of my recent birthday. I open the door sleepily. A smartly dressed guy (unlike me) greets me with more enthusiasm than I feel. " Good Morning, Sir! And a very Happy Birthday to you, Sir! " " Harumph. " " Sir, if you could please sign here, we will unload your Birthday Cake from the truck! " " Truck! You mean to say that you have brought the cake in a truck? " " Actually Sir, it is in two parts. This is the first consignment. A second part will be here shortly! " My mind does something which resembles boggling. A Cake which comes in two trucks! What are my wife and son aiming at - the Guinness Book of World records? " You mean to say that my cake is so large that you need two trucks to carry it? " " Er. No Sir! Actually your cake is coming as the second consignment on a scooter. " " Then what is this first consignment in a truck? " " Oh That, Sir! Those are just the candles to be kept on the cake! " he waxes eloquently. So you see guys, after a certain time, you quit buying candles in numbers and start getting a discount by asking the Kilo rate. At least one third of my family is mad, and I suspect that you all know which third it is. The last time when the sane majority of my family suddenly went insane and splurged on a Skoda, I had lectured them the benefits of Simple living and high thinking. So this time, I asked them what was my birthday present. " Dad, remember you said something about high thinking? Well, we have bought you a high present. " I beamed, " How nice! So you've bought me my favourite Bacardi? " " No Daddy! Something which will give you a much higher high! " And can you guess what these chaps have bought for me? I'm sure you will not. So let me end the torture. They have bought airplane tickets for a trip to Bangkok, Pattaya and Singapore! So guys, the good news is that you will not be bombarded by my gibberish for ten days, starting from the 3rd of Dec. The bad news, however, is that it is a round trip ticket. So I shall be back on the 13th, an unlucky number for you. Thanks for all your birthday wishes and Bumps (Ouch!). Kishore Shah 1974 PS: This time I have given a carefully worded lecture on Simple living and Simple thinking. I was careful to avoid the word high anywhere in my speech. This sane part of my family does not understand insane rantings. You have to be very careful. ------------------------------ Website: www.mgims.org ------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
