Where is Pluto?

I was teaching this little friend of mine studying in 5th Std. We were looking at Planetary System chapter. In the list of planets we found that Pluto was missing.

Our little friend, asked me "Do you know why they do not have Pluto listed now?"

I vaguely tried to recollect the news where they said Pluto has been removed from the planets list because of its size...etc.

My little friend disagreed with me and said, "You saw Taarae Zameen Par? Ishaan for multiplying 3 into 9 breaks the 9th planet pluto with earth, right? Thats why!!!"

Do u smell smoke ???

My colleague sitting next to me said "Do you also smell smoke?"

Me: "yes"

Colleague: Where is it possibly coming from?

Me: May be its the 'Fire in the belly' here", pointing at my stomach.

When he started lifting his finger to cover his nose, did I realize what I had just blurted out.
I had to then clarify that it was another PJ, and no problem with my stomach.

For Mara Tamils...Vadivelu dialogues in real life

Vadivelu dialogues have more or less become part of life and is a rage these days in Tamilnadu...the instances I have come across make me ROFL. Here are few...

@my cousins wedding
My two lovely niece studying in 1st/2nd standard were standing before the reception area, and were bowing to people coming in and at their top of their voice would welcome with (this vadivel dialogue)...
"Vanthuttanngayya Vanthuttanga"...


@my friends regret
Friend aged 26 had eagerly started bride search in websites. To his dismay, his parents have told him that "Going by your horoscope, you must not marry now. As you are gonna be unsettled and shuffling place of residence for next 2 years and marriage would break if you marry over this time".

I tried to cajole him with some nice ideas and suggested, "Why dont u start searching now, get engaged to some nice girl and marry after this 2 years. Have you suggested this to your parents?"

His (vadivel dialogue) reply was "Aaniyae pudunga vendamnu sollittanga..."

@my cousin to her sister-in-law
Cousin: "Why haven't you gone and had lunch at that hotel?, food is very very good and its next to ur place of residence..."

Sister-in-law: "I was waiting for your brother to take me there till now."

Cousin(used the Vadivels dialogue): "Aaahhaaaaaa! Aaahhaaaaaa!!! Ambuttu nallavangalaaa neenga???"

@regarding my future marriage plans
Whenever someone asked me about my marriage plans, I used to reply, "Nowadays my affection to hindi is increasing day by day...so who knows...??"

Cousin asked "Have you told this to parents and got their approval???"

Eventhough my parents said they wouldnt mind since this (Vadivel dialogue) quote was appropriate I just replied, "Hmmmm...well their reply was 'Pechhu! Pechhaa thaan irukkanum!!!'. "

I am ...

My colleague SK mentioned after a days work, "I am 'tired'."


My another colleague VJ immediately replied, "I am 'Vimal'."

PK: "Whistle-blower!!!"

Something Fishy

VR called my next cubicle'r SK to come to his desk. When I asked "What for? Should I also join?"
VR replied back "No only SK, this is about something, Fishy!"
This prompt reply was rather unexpected by them then, "ok SK carry on, anyways I am a Vegetarian."

Great Heights 2 - Come down

When I told this previous joke to my friend, he said; a similar funny reply was got by one of his relative in Military(he was 6ft and more as the previous person).

This relative had gone to a petty fast food outlet and ordered an omelette.
Teenage kid there had taken an egg for making it. Relative had stopped him saying the egg looks very small.

Kid had immediately replied, "Its big only, come down and see."

Great Heights

My ex-boss(6ft 3 or more inches) had a fractured hand and he had curious look from everyone in our 100 odd people office.

He sent out a mail informing that he had fractured hand because of a fall. He also added that he had inquired the doctor why a simple fall had caused a fracture.

Doctor had replied to him "when you fall from great heights, you risk fracturing your arms."

Made in Australia???

My friend had a project assignment for 6 months in Australia. He took his wife and kid along.

Once he got back he said he is expecting his second kid in 6 months.

Gave the usual "Advance Congrats" and quipped "Oh! Made in Australia!".
