Of Doctors and Humor

After all the visits I've made to my dentists, I have realised one thing : to be a doctor, or dentist, you need to be DEVOID OF EMOTIONS. Can you, the normal man, imagine yourself calmly taking a drill (yes A DRILL, the thing you make holes in walls with) and entering into a persons mouth and proceeding to cut off a huge chunk of the gum while blood spurts all over the place ?? Well it makes my stomach churn, and to think I let someone do that to me !! Fricken hurts like hell.

Talking about dentists, one budding dentist refused to let me post the ambigram of his/her name that I made which, in my opinion is one of my best works. Well talk about property rights... I made it, its my blog, but still... anyway you know I bear no hard feelings :).. though I really really wanted to post it. Actually I made a few more so I would have posted those too if I had to, you didnt have to worry. I love messing with you, you know that.

Isn't it amazing how many people have such bad sense of humour ? And by bad I mean really really PATHETIC. Unfortunately I fall into that category. But its not a bad thing you know... well maybe it is how would I know anyway? A guy once pointed out a bunch of wires on the ground in Electrical Lab and said "Taare Zameen Par" and it was enough to keep me in splits for most of the class. You know what I feel? People don't appreciate the sheer brilliance and ingenuity that goes into the making of a PJ... I mean, ask your ordinary person to make up a PJ and I can guarantee you that he'll be dumbfounded. It takes intelligence, wit and above all TALENT. During the intros this year, I found that a lot of guys read books. Well if you want humour and you like to read, then I have just one word :: WODEHOUSE . The greatest comic writer ever, and in my opinion Shakespeare doesn't even come close. I mean if Shakespeare is a pretty nifty tomb, the Wodehouse is most definitely the Taj Mahal. Sample this ::

He wore the look of a man who was searching for the leak in life's gaspipe with a lighted candel .

Simply amazing, sensational and brilliant. How can you come up with such an allegory? Hats off to you, Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse.
