I donot what is wrong.
Either the whole worlds gone crazy or people just refuse to laugh at my serious attempts of improvised humour (ya ya thats the name I give to all those PJs)
Wanna cite two examples that took place in the last few days:
I work in an IT company and do expect people around me to atleast make an effort to understand this joke
Example 1
----------
The original joke was narrated by a Delhiite who thinks he is the dood :
Once a smart S/W engineer and his Project Manager were traveling towards
Ooty in a train. Just Opposite to their seat, a beautiful girl was
sitting along with her grand ma. With in some time, Eye-Eye interactions
started between Our S/W engineer & that girl. After some minutes, train
started moving in to a tunnel and it was very dark.
Suddenly, every body heard a Kiss sound followed by a sound of slapping.
Every body remained silent, when the train came out of the tunnel.
Grand ma thought that," The Guy is a rogue; how dare he is? He has
kissed my grand daughter! But my Grand daughter is genuine; she
immediately slapped that guy."
PM thought that,"I can't believe that this guy has kissed that girl! But
it is unfair that she slapped me by mistake"
That girl thought that,"I feel happy, when that guy kissed me, but I
feel sorry that my grand ma has slapped him".
Finally, do u know what our clever S/W engineer thought?
" This one minute in my life is wonderful, It hardly comes...because, at
a time I have kissed a girl and also I have slapped my PM."
So the other southie dude replied to all in Pure Rajnikanth style :
"
Definitely, that smart s/w engineer cannot be from Punjab/Delhi.
"
This one left a bad taste in my mouth but what was to follow was even worser.
The dood replied :
Yaa the smart engineer someone who is from Punjab/Delhi will not only slap the manager but also all the Mallus around
This is when I conked out and out of my pure frustration was born a pearl which was very unassuming and subtle :
I just replied

Example 2
----------
This one is short and sweet but requires minimal knowledge of Marathi
----
Ravan : Mai bhiksha de
Lady : ghya swami
Ravan : rekha olandun ikade ye (She crosses)
Ravan : HaHaHa mi Bhikshuk nahi !! Ravan aahe !!
Lady: Mi pan Seeta nahi, kamavali bai aahe!! Ha Ha Ha....
----
I thought it lacked a punch and sm1 replied saying this was an old one and wasnt funny anymore ..
So I decided to let them into another dimension of this humorus joke
And I replied
But did you know why the Kaam waali baai cross the line
.
.
.
.
.Because her name was Rekha
Dunno but both these gems left the people in the mailing list speechless and since then i have stopped recieving such comic (sic)sans PJs
