Girls are sweet, sensitive, caring, adorable…yeah yeah I just cant help bragging about us :P
But there’s one department the fairer sex can hardly hold it’s head above the water…humour!

Somehow, I have noticed that most girls have the funny nerve completely missing!
You crack a decent joke, some get it after you autopsy the joke and explain them what it was all about and then they grin sheepishly back and say yeah…
All you could do is roll your eye balls and look away. Sometimes wit and sarcasm are completely lost on most of us! Nobody’s perfect, not even women ;)

Here are some interesting events I can remember when a girl completely proved the point I am trying to make:

1. A group of girly girls responding to a ‘clever’ quote ‘The key to being happily married is to keep changing husbands’; ‘God Sat! That’s an awful thought. I would always be faithful to my partner!’ Yeah sure, am glad for them :)

2. The short form CCD is used for 2 things in our office, Café Coffee Day and Computer and Communications Dept. Now this chap wanted to know what are the qualifications needed to apply for a position in the CCD (he obviously meant the latter). The wise guy in our forum pulled this gem of a reply to that saying that a Graduate should do for the Sales manager. For the rest 12th pass should suffice! While we were busy rolling on the floor laughing, this one perplexed lady replied wise guy saying ‘hey you got it all wrong, he was asking about the computer communications dept, not café coffee day!’ One of our menacing friends quipped ‘God, she actually figured out it was café coffee day he was talking about!’ Once again we got back to rolling on the floor laughing! [guess the housekeeping folks don’t have to mop our cubicle floors very often!]

3. Conversation with my friend:
M.F: What’s this thing called *panama hat
Me: Yeh kis chidiya ka nam hai? (which bird is that?)
M.F: Oh, it’s a bird huh?
Me: !!!!....well yeah, a small one, with flappy wings, really cute you see
M.F: Oh…doesn’t quite fit in the context!
Me: Halo!...Snap out of it, I was kidding!
M.F: whatever for?!

*forgot the context :P

4. Another one is right here buried in one of my old posts. Go here and check out in the comments section. Sorry, couldn’t resist including it ;)


P.S: I’ve been hooked to this song Grace Kelly by Mika, absolutely catchy, can’t-stop-smiling material, and did I forget to tell you I love the video? It made my day...
P.S.S: No offence, there are umpteen women who have a razor sharp wit….guess it’s a bit of extremes I guess ;)

Song On: Grace Kelly
Mood: Ecstatic!

sats u have no idea, i was kinda ROTFL in the offc.......well, withnessed many such incidents where gals turned out to b tubelights :P

By  brute, at 4:06 PM, March 15, 2007  

Sat, We also had a similar CCD incident but the gal never even realised that Cafe coffee day was CCD... so the joke was dissected not autopsied, in our case....
You know what, There was one gal in my old team... I keep blabbering something or the other most of the time... and I had to say I was kidding every now and then because she will take it serious... I got so sick of saying I am kidding... that was a joke... all kinda things... So I stopped joking while talking to her... felt much better that way....

Hehe! That was super cute!

I have gone thru such incidents lots of times.. sometimes i say something hilarious n sarcastic, that mostly only my close frnds understand.. n then the others are like 'wat wat'.. the whole fun is gone u know..

sterday when match was goin on, guess ganguly tried to hit the ball for a six.. v were oowing and awwing.. n finally, the ball landed on no-man's-land.. jus then, my frnd got a call, n the girl asked him 'where are u?'.. n he was like so engrossed in the match, he said 'no-man's-land'... LOL.. damn... i kept lafing for the next 1/2 hour..

:D

Aiyoooo, I was LOL & ROTFL !! Guess I don't have to clean my carpet either!

On a serious note, if more girls learnt to "acquire" that sense of humor, we probably will not be so anal about small stuff !

Gils;
hehehe
there's a little bit of evil in everyone of us :P

Brute;
Good....so ur cubicle is sparkling clean then ;)

KK;
god knows may be we are talking about the same joke :D but yeah, the just kidding is an irritating clause. there's this other side of the coin as well, guy cracks a lousy pathetic almost fatal joke and then says, heehe just kidding. all you can do is stare :-|
but i understand soemtimes u have to do it a lot with some women, most times they're not quite sportive and omitting this clause would mean risking your life :))

kk;
point number one, i dont really trust the rope when it comes to bungee jumping, i've got enough enemies who'd gladly make that rope longer than needed when it's my turn to take the plunge!
and point number 2, let's say we women have taken a new year resolution to view things on a lighter vein, well that's one thing you know....it takes a lot to laugh at yourself :P
and if you didn't notice, i did put in a few unquestionable truths 'nobody's perfect, NOT EVEN women ;)'
kapiche!

he tries, but u see, one cant hide their true colours... :P
hehe....just kidding LOL!

Dushti;
welcome :) hope to see u around

Prithz;
i know the pain of having to do the explaining bit...the worst part is when it comes to those 'subtle' jokes. god i'd rather die than sit and explain someone what it meant :)

Vidya;
:D
hey, u are right, that's why we find ourselves embroiled in some kind of argument or the other, simply because we dont take things on a lighter note. and ppl enjoy getting on our nerves

Heidi;
thanks :)
