I have heard this every week for at least 10 years, probably more.
Cartalk is a production of Dewey, Cheetham and Howe.
It is very embarrassing to admit that it took me all these years of listening to Cartalk to figure out the joke. Gah! Really feel like chump.

We were at McDonalds drive-through picking up dinner for kids.
Adit: Did you get three bags?
Me: No. There are only two bags. Two Happy meals for you both.
Adit: Why didn’t you get three? One for each of us.
Me: I don’t like Happy meals. I’ll eat something at home.
Adit: What will you eat at home? Will it be mad or angry?
Took me a few seconds to figure out what he was saying.

On NPR’s Morning Edition, there was a report about Michelle Obama charming everyone in Europe. Here, I paraphrase the reporter:
… Michelle Obama’s only misstep on the tour was wrapping her arm around the queen during her visit to Buckingham Palace. An anonymous Palace spokesman said that “We don’t issue instructions on not touching the queen”.
I just couldn’t stop laughing after hearing that. It reminded me of something else I had posted earlier. I guess the Buckingham Palace protocol must be similar to Kindergarten rules from Ashwini’s class. No touching, no pushing, no spitting etc.
Link to the AP report about “the incident”.

Saw this list of rules in Ashwini’s classroom. The most amazing thing about these rules is that they are not the teacher’s rules but, the kids came up with this list when asked. The first rule is Ashwini’s contribution. All of these rules are applicable at any workplace, too; especially, the ones about spitting, touching and kicking people. I wish all the people at my work are as nice and responsible as these kids.

OK! Time for some juvenile humor.
Recently, I came across a couple of store signs that made me think about ShivSena’s “store signs in Marathi” agitation from a few months ago. I can only imagine snickering people as they walked past these places, if they were in Maharashtra.

Heard on A Prairie Home Companion podcast:
Oli was visiting Sven who had recently bought a new cow.
Sven: This cow is funny. She farts whenever I milk her.
Oli: Let me see…They walked over to the cow, Oli sat down on the stool, pulled at her udder and the cow let out a fart.
Oli: Hmmm. Is this cow from North Dakota?
Sven: Yes. How did you guess?
Oli: My wife is from there and she does the same thing.
I had taken a sip of my coffee just before Garrison delivered the punch-line. It was so unexpected, most of that coffee ended up on my monitor. Had to do a major cleanup. Thanks, Mr. Keillor!

This is so hilarious. Heard about this on the NPR news quiz show, “Wait Wait Don’t tell me“, and then saw it in
While I was at Youtube, found this video of the third runner-up from Miss Teen USA competition. Is it PC to call her a dumb blond? But, she doesn’t even seem like a real blond.

We have been blessed with cooler temperatures for the last few days. It almost feels like Summer is gone and Fall is here. But, that is not true. This is just a teaser. I know the heat will come back, but the end is near. Shalom Auslander wrote an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times a couple of days ago, expressing similar sentiments.
