10月11日 Law of Satisfaction or Law of SandwichI have noticed that my journal (this blog, i.e.) has become really morbid. So, I guess it's time for some humour. Here's something which I had mused on a couple of years back. That is the last time that I remember having a fairly decent sense of humour. Nowadays even my humour is tinged with horror. Anyway, this is based on that law of satisfaction - that all basic economics studies teach us. That's where I first
heard of it - in the classroom. The terminology escapes me at the moment, so I am calling it the Law of Sandwich!
Law of Sandwich from different perspectives
Economist on why the common man ate the sandwich
When I had the first bite, I was satisfying my immediate need. So, it was the most satisfactory bite.
When I had the second bite, I did not need it and it was a little less satisfactory.
And when I had the third bite, I was just being plain greedy or rather I was satisfying my urges and not my needs.
Political Scientist on why the politician ate the sandwich
When I had the first bite, I wanted more. So I had the second and I still wanted more.
Since it was so satisfying, I decided to take the entire plateful of sandwiches.
So that I would have the power to eat as much as I wanted and give to those who asked for it.
Psychologist on why the sandwich was necessary
The first bite satisfied my physical appetite.
The second bite satisfied my sensual appetite.
The third bite satisfied my sexual appetite.
The lover in his own words -
"I ate the first bite when I looked at her and it was delicious.
I went for the second bite and it melted in my mouth.
I had the third bite as well, because she fed me, with her own hands, and it was the most loving bite of all."
The Computer Scientist on why he ate the sandwich -
I had the first bit, so that I could learn about bytes.
I had eight bits after that, in quick succession.
But the byte was not enough.
So I eat millions of bytes everyday.
2月12日 Chutzpah"Chutzpah! He has chutzpah", the girl screamed excitedly. Hell! "I had no idea!", I said. Just to go along with her. But privately, men with the 'chutzpah', or as the dictionary defines it,'the gall' or 'the nerve' to do and say stuff, are better then the gutless ones, don't you think? By gutless,I mean those who don't even have the guts to sound foolish on the phone. Chutzpah is preferable, I guess. Unless you take it so far, that you are one of those 'oh so strong, come-on types', who most women would really dislike. Chutzpah does not mean a 'deliberate swagger' or making tall claims and leering at women! That my folks, is the cheap stuff, that roadside romeo's are so full of. Chutzpah is perhaps wearing your heart on the sleeve and having the guts to state your mind! But, come to think of it, most men are no better then those roadside romeos' (who definitely can do without all the chutzpah). Meanwhile this girl was still describing chutzpah.To her, this obviously meant the stuff that I just described - this abhorrent roadside romeo tactics. Women like that, I guess. Atleast, some seem to. I don't. Do you? 1月21日 LaughterAnd then she giggled.
Slowly the giggle grew into laughter.
Uncontrollable laughter, till tears poured down her cheeks.
She held her stomach and roared with laughter!
And that was that.
Her life was never the same again.
She never cried again.
Just laughed and laughed, till she could laugh no more.
Have you ever laughed like that?
Try it.
And you will never be the same again.
But don't blame me if you don't like your new self after the laughter is over!
If you can laugh, that is! ;-) |
