- I am 61, and for 22 years now a confirmed home-bird. I read, write, teach, counsel, listen to music, exercise, watch movies, have fun with kids including my own, have tried to be a good husband, think all the time, and generally endeavour to live the good life as I have understood it. It's tough, and it's been a long trudge.

Sir,
This is the funniest thing I have read in quite a while. If this was published in a newspaper, can you kindly mention the name of the newspaper and the date on which this article appeared? I'll tell my parents to read this.
Thanks,
Joydeep
Hilarious, Sir! My mother read it as well. She has told me another story which goes - A young wife once had to write a letter to her husband working in Calcutta about how things were going on in her village. This woman, though literate, did not have the faintest idea about where to put commas and full stops. So, at the fag end of the letter where she had to write "Ma bomi koriyachhen. Purut moshai-er mukhe shob shunibe", she wrote - "Ma bomi koriyachhen purut moshai-er mukhe. Shob shunibe"
Another one from my own collection - There is a question in one of the more popular school level physics textbooks about two monkeys: one hanging on by a rope for dear life and another hanging by the first's tail, duly named monkeys A and B respectively. To solve the question one needs to write the equations of motion for each and then solve them simultaneously. Imagine my surprise when one boy opens with the statement - "Inside monkey A..."

Hilarious Sir! This is too good. Poor teacher - how could he know that the boy would write "kyalani" instead of "marbo"?
Another good one was "prosob" instead of "prosrob".
Too good.
