Amusing Fridays

A few one liners on the Friday T-shirts that I noticed today...

I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it !

I have only one nerve left and you are getting on it !

Beware ! Here comes trouble !

Keep staring at me ! I may do a trick !

Out of My Mind ! Be back in 5 minutes !

The art of snoring...zzzzzzzz

I had taken a day off so that I can spend a long weekend with my parents in Mysore. The moment I stepped into the house, I received a call on my cell phone - call from my work place! It was not one of the admiring looks that I saw on my parents' face as I was answering the call.Then on, I decided to take zero official calls and only personal calls on my cell phone, that too, strictly on priority basis. To make things better, I put the cellphone in vibrate only mode so that even on receiving calls, the ringtone would not disturb my parents.

Since the call on Thursday night, my cell phone had been really quiet throughout the day of Friday , with all these precautionary measures.Everybody was happy with this abnormal quietness, though, I would secretly keep checking my cell phone, if it had got discharged or had stopped working:-)

On Friday night, I was enjoying a movie, dad was walking towards his room and suddenly came back to me.He had my cell phone in his hand.He handed it over to me and said "It was snoring !!"

It took me a moment to realise that I had received a message and so the cellphone had vibrated instead of beeping, due to my precautionary settings !!!! :-)

Fire extinguisher

After a long and hectic day at work, Shijit (already mad at me for making him wait for more than 15 mins) and I (in a ligher mood trying to make him forget the wait) walked towards the car, on our way back home. As we stepped inside the black beauty,

Shijit: I have a new album today !
Me: WOW ! New Album ! Of which trip?
Shijit: Dumbhead ! I am talking about a music album on the CD and not a photo album. I burnt it recently, in fact, last night !
Me: No wonder I still smell smoke inside the car :-)

Man and Machine

Dave was at his desk, eating his usual brunch-box of baby carrots, box of grapes, box of cut zucchini, a banana. My eyes were stuck on the new entry there -a box with something green inside. He noticed that it had caught my attention, opened the box for me.

Dave: Doctor asked me to eat green leafy vegetables. So, I have added Spinach to my list !

The box had fresh Spinach leaves and I saw him go "munch" at one of the raw ones !!! I was horrified by what I just saw !

Me: Dave, cave man were eating things this way. We are in an advanced era and now we have recipes to turn these raw leaves and vegetables into something yummy.

Dave: But in the grocery store that I picked these leaves from, there were no 'instructions on method of use' like boil for 10 minutes or cook 3 leaves with 2tsp of salt or so, printed on any of these items. However since the doctor insisted that I should eat these, I am eating them raw, as I didn't find those instructions !
