This week has been quite hectic. Both at work and otherwise. Serious things have mostly been at the forefront plus cold weather and the rains. To lighten up, I thought of sharing this joke, which I read a long time back. Originally, this was in Hindi but I am sharing the literal translation: Two friends go to a tea and snacks shop. They order something to eat. Then, they want a cup of tea. On the menu, they see: Normal tea cup - 0.25 Rs. (Remember this is a very old joke) Special big tea cup - 1 Rs. Reserved Tea cup - 0.75 Rs. They talk and say "Hey, this reserved tea sounds something really special. Let us try this out". So they order the reserved tea and it is very tasty. They pay the bill and the tip and then asked the waiter: " What is all in this reserved tea? " The reply comes: "Sir, whenever people drink tea here, some quantity is left at the bottom of their cups. We combine many such cups, add sugar and boil and then comes out the " Reserved Tea" ! " Well I laughed a lot when I read it the first time. How about you?

I think I would have asked "before" ordering.

@DianneN Yes it is gross, though it was probably in a magazine read by kids and elders alike, and was written in a very simple manner.
