Funny stuff #4

I just received this in an email from a friend. I thought of putting it up on my blog.

The new and improved design for a seatbelt to be introduced all over the world from next year. Resarch shows that it will reduce accidents by as much 45%. I am definitley gonna be using it.

Pakistan in 2020

I received this in my email and while the resolution may not be great, it sure does point the way towards what might happen if these conditions continue.

Always check your child's homework

(Here’s the message the teacher received the following day)
Dear Mrs. Jones,
I wish to clarify that I am not now, nor have I ever been, an exotic dancer.
I work at Home Depot and I told my daughter how hectic it was last week before the blizzard hit. I told her we sold out every single shovel we had, and then I found one more in the back room, and that several people were fighting over who would get it.
Her picture doesn’t show me dancing around a pole. It’s supposed to depict me selling the last snow shovel we had at Home Depot.
From now on I will remember to check her homework more thoroughly before she turns it in.
Sincerely,Mrs. Smith

I'm baaackk...

The REAL staple food-Doodh patti

This week, Kolachi did a short feature on the mainstay of my day - doodh patti.

Kolachi spoke to Zaman Khan (not his real name), owner of a tea dhaba in Saddar, to find out. “People in Karachi are always busy, frustrated, and overworked. When they come to a dhaba, they want something strong enough to take their mind off things.”
…”I don’t want to name them, but there are a few dhaba owners who extract opium from its stem, grind the stem left behind and let it boil in the tea.“
What?! Is this yet another one of those Karachiite secrets I wasn’t privy to, or just another urban legend akin to the ‘Slims has drugs in it to make it more addictive’ story?

If they don't care, why should we?

I was just going to some place the other day and I saw this car pull up right in front of me at the signal. And I thought, "If this guy is a member of the National Assembly, then shouldn't he be actually aware of laws banning tinted windows and customized plates?". So I took this picture to prove that even the rulers don't actually giva a shit here in Pakistan. And by the way, this picture will be shown on Dawn News as part of their Citizen Journalist programme every hour on Sunday, January the 25th.
