Blonde Blitz....
A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a blonde gathering, and his hostess naturally
broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease. "Would you mind telling
me, Doctor," she asked, "how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who
appears completely normal?" "Nothing is easier," he replied. "You ask a simple
question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you
on the track." "What sort of question?" "Well, you might ask him, 'Captain Cook
made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?' The
blonde thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to
have another example would you? I must confess I don't know much about history."
DHABA
Kakey da dhaaba (in London) has evoked another anecdote on cheap eating places. An
Indian abroad ran out of foreign exchange and went looking for the cheapest eating
place in town. He located an Indian restaurant and went in. He found three sections:
'European, Chinese, and Indian' He went into the Indian. It was divided into two:
Vegeterian and non-vegetarian. He went into the vegetarian which was further
divided into pure ghee and vanaspati. He went to the vanaspati section and found yet
another division: Cash or credit. Cheered at the prospect of not having to pay in
foreign exchange he opted for the
Credit section. When he got to it he found the sign: "Exit: get out."
