Between You & Me

One of my acquaintances narrated this incident to me. When he had come over to the US for the first time and went to an eatery outlet in one of the rest areas along the expressways, he met with a rather very fast spoken version of "For here or to go?". And he has responded rather cooly "To eat" :)

When I was hit by a car a few days back, one of friends (no, not that he isn't a serious person!), asked me in a lighter vein, "Is the car and the occupants of the car safe after hitting you?"

Sometimes, I find the amount of precaution that is being put in place on roads here to be really commendable. But what I do wonder is this - whenever there is a "do-no-enter" board on some way, there would also be a "Wrong Way" board beside it. And the same set of boards would have been placed repeatedly for every 30 to 40 feet or so until the end of the road..!! Is that for purposes of calculating the fine/damages for violators? I wonder..!!

I inadvertently laid hands on the recipe book maintained by one of my friends. And what do you think I find under the heading "Aloo Fry"? Just two sentences - "Put Oil. Put Aloo. Let them fry"..! Simplicity beyond imagination - I am sure you would agree!
