MY MEDICINE – 2: FROM MADRAS TO GALAPAGOS


Sunny and Bunny were drinking buddies
who worked together as Aircraft mechanics
in the Aircraft Maintenance section part
of an airline attached to the Madras Airport.
One day it rained badly it could kill
and the airport had to come to a standstill
due to  really poor visibility
and the resultant technical inability.
Therefore they were stuck in the hangar
with nothing to do and no lager..
"Man, I wish we had something to drink!" said Sunny
"Me too. You know”, said Bunny
“I've heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz.
Even though it’s not approved by the fuzz;
You wanna try it?" enquired Bunny
And to this in total agreement was Sunny.
So they pour themselves a couple of glasses
of high octane booze which them completely smashes
The next morning Sunny wakes up and does not remember
how he got home? When and however?
He is surprised at how good he feels.
In fact he feels great, it seems!
No hangover! No bad side effects. Nothing!
Then the phone rings. It's Bunny to tell him something
Bunny says, "Hey, how do you feel this morning?"
Sunny says, "I feel great, how about you? I’m really shining"
Bunny says, "I feel great, too. You don't have a hangover?"
Sunny says, "No that jet fuel is great stuff - no hangover,
or anything. We ought to do this more often."
"Yeah, well there's just one thing I must caution."
"What's that?”
"Have you farted yet?"
"No. not yet."
"Well, Don't!
'Cause I'm now in the Galapagos Islands cause of that!"

As I grow older: I've learned that pleasing everyone is next to impossible, but pissing everyone off is as easy as eating a piece of cake. People don’t want to sweat the serious stuff and prefer to enjoy the frivolous. Therefore, I’m sharing some jokes I’ve received as e-mails in the past and have modified them to make limericks out of them.

MY MEDICINE - 1: ON CONDOM SAFETY


Condoms don’t guarantee
safe sex anymore…..
A friend of mine was wearing one
when he was shot with a gun
by the woman’s husband.
Yes, condoms don’t guarantee
safe sex anymore
of that you can be sure
for if you try to be frisky
It sure will turn risky

BRANDING THE MASKS



It just struck me
that the face masks
being used today
are in great demand
in my poor country
and may provide
a branding opportunity
to companies which wish
to promote their products.
If corporates could market
all their products
by printing on the masks
and advertise across
the face of the masks.
The cost of the masks
could then be brought down
and its reach
extended to the poorest
of the poorest
who would benefit greatly
while also providing publicity
for these brands.
Pity that Corona Beer
cannot advertise
for alcoholic beverages
cannot advertise
in my country
Guess my idle mind
has to just shut down
and something else to do find
or else get kicked
by you my dear readers
now, I know I’m effed
for being Consistently Crazy

It just struck me that the face masks which are being used currently in huge numbers could provide a branding opportunity. Brands can advertise across the face of the mask...

These masks are in great demand in India and if corporates could market their brands by printing on the masks the cost of the masks could be brought down and its reaching the poorest of the poor would be increased while also providing publicity for these brands...

Actually pharma cos, hospitals & medical equipment cos can advertise on masks and even if they don't want to distribute free they can give it to NGOs at cost price and enable the poor in urban & rural areas to protect themselves at low cost...

For ex, a mask marketed currently at 100Rs can be made available to the poor at Rs 15 or so...

Any takers?

Looks like Corona and self imposed seclusion is making me crazy Lol...
