Now that Yazad is away
Published by Ravikiran Rao March 31st, 2004 in HumourWell, now that he has gone off on a jamboree to Bangalore, the average IQ of the blog has gone up. I thought I’d restore the balance a bit by putting in dumb joke I read off the DNRC newsletter
After a tragic communication mixup, Flossie Mongo devoured her husband of 30 years, Lester. “I asked my doctor if I should get on that Atkins diet and lose weight by eating meat. He just got all serious-like and said — and I’m quoting now — ‘Just eat Les.’ At least that’s what I thought he said. Now he claims there was a silent s on the end of Les.” Mrs. Mongo explained that her husband had been riding her hard to follow whatever orders the doctor gave her for losing weight. “He was a real hard ass. I mean literally, I could hardly chew threw it.” After a net gain of nearly 150 pounds in one day, Mrs. Mongo admits her other big mistake: “I should have spaced it out. That was way too much for one meal. But I worked up quite an appetite with all the stabbing and sawing. You have no idea.” She adds, wistfully, “I’ll miss him, but quiet is good too.”
Update from Yazad: Ravi, I hope you didn’t forget that Bangalore happens to have a few cybercafes! Plus, I have a (rather unused) PJ blog too.
Update from Ravi: Well Yazad, I have heard rumours to the effect that there are a few cybercafes in Bangalore, but I thought that there were a lot more pubs and you’d land up in one of the latter by the law of probability.
More from Yazad: Well pubs and cybercafes and coffeshops all coexist (and are within 5 mins walking distance from my hotel). The only thing missing in the cafes (cyber enabled or not) is a bit of the Amsterdam effect.
Over lunch…
Ballmer: Bill, I really dont like Larry Ellison’s guts.
Gates: No complaints, Steve. Somehow finish that off.
next time you want to restore balance, call on me

Balance restored!! (and how)
Instead of pubs, Yazad and I are drinking coffee late at night at the Taj instead. :)
(that’s worth blogging about by itself, which I expect Yazad to do when he gets back. That, and our dinner meeting with secret agent Jivha.)
But Yazad hates coffee!
He once stomped out of Barista because they offered him coffee instead of beer.
I didn’t know that Bangalore changed people so quickly…
And the gentleman that MadMan is, he failed to inform me :-)
Sandeep, it’s posted on Yazad’s bloody site, for cryin’ out loud!
You could’ve just emailed him, you know. :)
Besides, being the devout Hindu that you are, we morality-deprived atheists would’ve corrupted your mind.
And why is this post filed under Humor..??? ;-)
