A friend of mine, who has a dream to meet Santa Claus, told me this story. Enjoy it.
Reno was traveling in a crowded bus. He was carrying the passport size photograph of his son for college admission.
Accidentally, the photograph dropped down from his pocket. He started searching for it frantically and found it on the floor below the ends of a woman’s saree.
He asked her, “can you lift your saree?” I wanna take photograph”. The rest is self-explanatory. He was beaten so badly that he had to be admitted to hospital. He was surprised to see Obama on the bed next to him in worse condition.
Obama explain what happened to him. He had gone to a remote village to work. He finished late and missed the last bus.
He could not find any hotel so he approached a house nearby and asked the hosts whether they would allow him to stay there for a night. The owner replied, “I have two grown-up daughters. Sorry, you can’t stay here”.
Dissapointed, Obama approached the next house and asked the owner whether he could stay there for a night. This one also replied, “I have three grown-up daughters. Sorry, you can’t stay here.”
He thought he had asked the wrong question so this time he wanted to rephrase it. He went to the next house and asked, “Do you have grown-up daughters?”
The owner replied, “Why?” and Obama said: “I want to stay for a night”. The whole village came out and beat him up till he fainted.
Moral of the story: Words can send you into deep trouble if you don’t use them correctly.
