Veg soup for soul
I have great admiration for fitness freaks and bodybuilders. After all, health is wealth.
I went to a friend’s house in Dubai and could not lift the heavy weights at his home gym. This aircraft engineer climbs 24 floors at times to keep fit.
“I would love to be strong like you,” I said.
“You poor veggies. What can you do? Better start eating meat and tandoori chicken,” he teased me.
“Do not forget that robust animals like elephants, hippos and horses are vegetarians,” I countered. A hippo can run at speeds of over 20 miles an hour.
The engineer walked towards me in a circle and passed an awkward look.
“What are you looking for?” I asked him.
“All the three animals you mentioned have a tail. So wondering about you,” he replied.
* I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals, it's because I hate vegetables: Woody Allen.
* Hey, just read a non-veg joke: “Can you remove something from my skirt?” asked a pretty girl.
“Sure, sure. What?” reacted the thrilled guy.
“Your eyes, idiot.”

The joke cracked me up! LOL. I loved the post too.
ReplyDeleteWhere was he looking...lol
ReplyDeleteMy favorite aunt and uncle are too funny when they squabble about what's healthier and better. He's a veggie all his live, she's not. She tries to sneak a few pieces of meat - for strength she says - into his food but seldom succeeds. They are both in their 90ies now and are still madly in love. So there's hope... :)
lol...!

ReplyDeleteThis is told by a famous person in a discourse:-'you observe cornivorous animals, they are powerful but cannot sustain for long.. take for e.g. lion or tiger, they can chase their prey for short span (within which they should get them) but cannot continue like a Deer or Horse.. or even a... Monkey!'
ReplyDeleteNote: All including the last one are vegans!

ReplyDeleteJust yesterday, at office we went out on a lunch. One of this intense meat eater said "Pedh bachao, chicken khao" to us hardcore vegetarians. We just laughed it off. :-)
