Tongue N Cheek 

A quick drive...

Hi People,

Chee Chee has been very busy during the last few months. What, with all those Old Bens arriving from Down Under. The first to land was the former Kottangchena cricket captain from the '60s,Tony the Appah Thurai. Appah left almost a quarter century ago. He still looked fit as a fiddle and did not feel shy to admit that Lady Pam was still an active member, "down under." Skanda the former Board type had a garden party to receive Appah. He had to serve dinner early as the Kottangchena boys were quickly into their stride. Half an hour more to serve would have meant a quick drive to the Tamil Union for Skanda to replenish the bottles that cheer. Following him was Blind Pereira who could never sing a single note. No, not even Noel, Noel during Christmas. Still a complete TT he has even turned vegetarian. MulChirry however was happy for him as his wife was yet to turn vegetarian.

Chee Chee was good at Scrabble. This is what he came up with.

TO COPULATE HE FINDS INTERNS

A fleeing Taliban, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghanistan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he walked towards the image, only to find a little old Jewish man sitting at a card table with a bunch of neckties laid out on it.

The Arab asked, "I'm dying of thirst, can I have some water?"

The Jew replied, "I don't have any water, but why don't you buy a tie? They are only $150. Here's one that goes very nicely with your robes."

The Arab shouted, "I don't want an overpriced tie, you idiot, I need

water!" The Jew replied "OK then, don't buy my ties. But to show you

what a nice guy I am, I'll tell you that over that hill there, about four miles, is a nice restaurant. Walk that way; they have all the water you need."

The Arab begrudgingly thanked him, then staggered away towards the hill and eventually disappeared. Four hours later the Arab came crawling back to where the Jewish man was sitting behind his card table.

The Jew said, "...I told you, about four miles over that hill. Couldn't you find it?"

The Arab rasped, "I found it all right. Your brother wouldn't let me in without a tie!"
