Why, after all, did the blonde write her exam sitting right by the door of the examination room? That's because, she was told it was an "entrance" exam. Oh boy! This was told to me in the classic Indian way. It went like this: "Why did the Sardar sitting by the door when he was writing his exam?". I put in a genuine effort to think of the answer (really!). After racking my brains for a few minutes I gave up. Immediately, the gap was filled up. Unimaginably funny! The Sardar was sitting by the door because it was an entrance exam! I split my sides with laughter.
Here are two more classics:
Q. What do you call a Mallu who is very handsome?
A. Debo Nair.
Q. What do you call a genious Mallu?
A. Pheno Menon.
To my readers who don't know what is a mallu: Mallus or Malayalis is the plural term for singular Indian folks who belong to Kerela and speak Malayalam as their main language. I've many Mallus amongst my friends, just as I have many blonde friends. "Nair" and "Menon" are common last names amongst this regional, Malayali speaking gems of persons.
