funny and punny

Deals Are Forever Funny: Back then, there was a ‘new-clear-deal’ Punny: Oh, yes, that was when every Man, Mohan and Sing was singing ‘sing is king’ F: In an ‘august’ chill, an ‘august’ gathering sat in a ‘land’ facing ‘west’ and struck a deal P: They had hopes of hopping around in the chopper F: The deal had an ‘italian’ angle to it P: Explain F: A close look will tell you words written in ‘italics’ are always slanted \ at an angle P: Call it an ‘italian’ angle F: Or an ‘italian’ angel P: Let’s be fair, it is an ‘italian angle’ with the grace of an ‘italian angel’! F: For ‘Christ’s sake, don’t make a ‘hash’ of this deal in the ‘middle’ of all these ‘men’ P: Because, we are ‘So-nea’ to the deal F: You mean ‘so near’ P: Ah!’med’iated for the deal, deserves a ‘pat’ F: It’s his SP P: Now what is that?

Funny & Punny – And Their New Clear Deal   Funny and Punny were dilly-dallying over this deal for quite sometime now. Their minds were exploded by the confusion over the new deal. The funny side of it is that while the Funny side appear to have a clear idea about the all new clear deal and to them it was just another new clear deal, the Punny side didn’t quite agree. It is ‘one-too-many’ they hissed. You are wrong, Punny , it is just one-two-three, Funny countered. ‘One-to-three’, what nonsense is this, it is just one-to-one, you and me, alright, Punny snapped at Funny. Punny thought he gave the ‘right’ reply – which ‘left’ Funny fuming. Funny was about to explode. He held back. Look, let me put it this way: it is ‘one’ to me: ‘two’ to you and ‘three’ to ‘US’. Will that make you happy? But, stuttered Punny , “Swami wrote to me ‘1-to-3’ is a non-starter”, looking even more confused. Funny then put his hand around Punny ’s back and said ever so politely, ‘let us ...

SENSEX & WIFEX – AND THEIR MANY MOODS! The standard mood of the investor these days has been high, claim acclaimed analysts. What with sensex continuing to do a gravity defying act! The ‘moody’ nature of the investor needs to be read cautiously, lest it is rated ‘poor’. Playing in the market can be very addictive and equally seductive. The boom in the market can suddenly turn nasty and boomerang on the gullible investors. ‘Make hay while the sensex shines’ is par for the time. But it makes eminent sense to reminisce the melancholic meltdown in 2008. The prospect of making a quick buck is very seductive, so much so, there is need for a dose of sedative. Can there ever be a more effective sedative than the ‘recount of 2008 meltdown’! The best way to administer the sedative is to reminisce the meltdown by running through a fascinating narrative of ‘sensex & wifex – and their many moods’. So, here goes: While Funny trusted his uncanny ability to sense the Sensex, Punny e...

Funny: Good that finally ‘goods’ have arrived Punny: Along with it the ‘service’ too F:’Tough times’ ahead as we deal with too many ‘goods’ P:You mean we are in for ‘tough times’ as against the promised ‘good times’ F:Neither, these are ‘taxing’ times P: Remember, no-pain-no-gain F: After all, ‘goods and services’ have arrived on consensus among all parties P: Why whine now? F: Instead let’s ‘wine-n-dine’ P: We are hit by the ‘in-law-syndrome’ F: Explain P: Damned if you do, damned if you don’t! F: But then we live in a world of ‘contradictions’ P: Precisely, we agree, only to disagree later F: You can (mis)interpret it as ‘you agree to disagree’ P: We are an impatient lot. We jump the gun F: You mean a-la ‘quick-gun-murugan’ Enna Rascala! Even as the media and the financial wizards are on a virtual verbal war dissecting and deciphering, decoding and digesting the new taxation law, common man is confused as ever, ‘left’ with no option but to toe th...
