Joke of the Day-Wear Helmet

Joke a day keeps Doctor away

There is a popular proverb. “An apple a day keeps the Doctor away”. However, with the increase in price of apple (Not cost), many people find it difficult to practice it. At the prevailing price rate, it require Rupees 100/= per day for an overage family to keep the doctor away. Considering the price fluctuation, leave, absence etc average monthly expenditure on apple will be Rupees 2000/= per month. Based on the theory of averages (statisticians please excuse remembering the popular maxim “Lies, damned lies and statistics”) monthly expenditure on food items will be Rupees fifty thousand.
In order to overcome this problem, a new formula has been evolved ie; a joke a day keeps the doctor away. This is absolutely free. No registration charges and no monthly subscription. Occasionally or regularly a word or few words of appreciation or depreciation is welcome.
Joke of the day -1 Wear Helmet
On 27th February 2010 I was travelling from Bangalore International Airport to Jeevan Bima Nagar (My daughter’s residence) by route No BIAS 4. Passengers included one Sardarji also. From his outlook (Nothing to do with India Today, The Week, Frontline etc), he appears to be a stranger to the city. Somebody was calling him frequently, probably to know where he has reached. Sardarji could not give the answer. In the third attempt, Sardarji looked all sides viz; East, west, South, North, Front, back, top and bottom. Suddenly he said “wear Helmet”. His caller. (Who was born on Bangalore Soil but still not a Son of the Soil) could not make out the name of the place and asked Sardarji to confirm. Sardarji confidently confirmed that he read the name in a board at a crossing and adjacent to it there was another board showing the distance to Coimbatore, Cochin and Kanyakumari
