Rough Rhymes

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Today I went to the coffeeshop just to play with a uncle. He sells beers, ciggies, peanuts to go along with the beer, redbull for mixers, liquor and all those stuff any decent, top notch, proper, caring shop owner should sell. But as laid back as his peanut's brand is, is his understanding about me. He has this whole 'Indians are smart, decent people' concept running in his head. [Little does he know the truth. Should bring him along for thaipusam or panguni the next time round. Or heck it, what's explosion night for? I'll drag him there.]

Anyhow, I like it whenever I twist his words and he goes "Waa, so smart ah!" [What the hell did he think I was? Stupid?] Anyhow, it's always nice when you 'aapu vaikiraan' somebody. This is for today's "Waa, so smart ah!":

Me: Uncle, how much Viceroy reds ah?
Coffeeshop Uncle: You dunno meh? Everytime pass by here. $9.40 lor.
Me: You can sell me for $8 not?
Coffeeshop Uncle: $8?!?!?! For $8 I can only give you the empty box lar!
Me: Okie, since the box alone costs $8, you keep the box and I'll pay you $1.40 for the 20 sticks that are inside. Deal boh?
Coffeeshop Uncle: *With laughter something similar to a lion's roar* Waaa, so sma................................

You get the picture. Adios.
