Of Men and Cars

It is hard to tell the size of their penis but one can judge the size of their brain.

Well there are some taht indicate the size of the brain and then those that indicate the size of the penis : )

But - Morse - too bad all things good have to come to an end.

thanks, everyone, for your interesting and entertaining comments.

Palwashai: that was funny! pukhto pu-ay-gay?

ronin #54 ``the vietnamese got rice rockets``

?? What is a rice rocket? a Harley Davidson fueled by fermented rice perhaps? Or an extra-spicy bowl of rice that ``rockets`` a guy straight into the men`s room (or even to the women`s room in case the guy was too narrowly focussed on the immediate situation to read - as one man I know did, but that is another story)?

Car trivia:

Inspector Morse drove a Red and Black classic Jaguar because he appreciated art.

Warren Buffet drives an old Buick because he values money.

Feff Bezos drives an Accord because of its price performance ratio.

Bill Gates drives a specially designed Porsche because he loves machines.

Hayat Mohamad Sherpao used to drive a classic Mustang 65 because to impress Benazir.

Ayub Khan got a Nazi style glass-top Mercedes custom made because he wanted to look powerful.

Baghwan Shri Rajneesh always rode a Rolls Royce because a god has to maintain his image.

Lieutenant Colombo drove a beat-up convertible because he wanted to project the impression of a bumbling slob.

It is hard to tell the size of their penis but one can judge the size of their brain.

yes i agree that it is a ``shouq `` thing also.

P.S. my shouq is dining out, and blowing it over vacations... somehow i do not give too much importance to things as such.

sa :)

Ms Shamim, if i may intrude for a sec...

shirin ahmed #47, ``Giving too much importance to ``Branded Expensive Stuff ``, be it clothes, accessories , or even cars for that matter does reflect a certain degree of insecurity within that person.``

oh come on, i think you`re taking it all a bit too seriously, it`s just a matter of `shauq.`

we all have out little weaknesses.

Scout #46 ``Pardon me, what`s there NOT to salivate over in that car?`` (car being the Lamborweenie).

First: Does not satisfy any of man`s base instincts (hunger, thirst and some others).

Second: Does not satisfy any of man`s higher instincts (science, arts, literature).

Third: Ita speaka ina Italiano.

Fourth: Tha doora opena upa and giva knocka outa puncha ona chin. Why no opena likea normala automobila?

It`s just my own notion, pardon me if it makes waves ....

Giving too much importance to ``Branded Expensive Stuff ``, be it clothes, accessories , or even cars for that matter does reflect a certain degree of insecurity within that person.

With due respect to all who may think differently.

tahmed321 #43, ``So you were awestruck by the Lamborwhateverweenie. Aside from the price tag, I cant imagine anything about that care striking my awe.``

Pardon me, what`s there NOT to salivate over in that car?

``You go overspeed you get a ticket. You drive around, you need a gas refill. You drive around some more, you refill the maintenance shop`s pocket. You park it, and some idiot puts puts a dent and you refill the body shop`s pocket.``

I see my car as a recluse, a resort on four wheels ;). It`s there when I need it. If I have a fight with someone, I can go sit in it and chill. If I feel restless, I can go for a drive to the beach or the local supermarket for some ice cream while simultaneously listening to Iqbal Bano or Bob Marley. That`s as good as life can get on a weekday.

``How is it different from, say, a nice Toyota Corolla that graces the streets of every city in the world and hardly ever breaks down.``

You got me there. I`m waiting for my Toyota to break down. I got excited when I saw the `check engine` light go on in my car. I made my appointment with the local service dealer, but the morning of the appt., the damn light went off, and the car was fine.

These things are `dheet.`

``I am telling you - expensive cars are for suckers.``

I wish to be one of them some day.

Shirin #33 They say if an extraterrestrial observed earth from space, it would report back to it`s leader that the dominant form of life on earth is made of metal and rolls on four wheels. Sometimes when it is scared it lets out a cloud of black gas.

Scout (I forget your #) So you were awestruck by the Lamborwhateverweenie. Aside from the price tag, I cant imagine anything about that care striking my awe. You go overspeed you get a ticket. You drive around, you need a gas refill. You drive around some more, you refill the maintenance shop`s pocket. You park it, and some idiot puts puts a dent and you refill the body shop`s pocket. How is it different from, say, a nice Toyota Corolla that graces the streets of every city in the world and hardly ever breaks down. I am telling you - expensive cars are for suckers. (PS Final word is an experiment to see if Chowkidar catches it - see my previous post if this is confusing).

For those who care...

Since many of you are in women/mother mode, may I suggest that you take a look at temporal`s tribute to `desi mothers` called MAAn SAY at Speaker`s Corner or `The Sage` board, where I first caught it. There is scope for discussion on this one...Studebaker...kalaam mil gaya!

[“whenever you get over the crazy/lazy mood. Give us Observation. No political responsiblity, blinkers are part of any observation, so we`ll take them too.

By the the way, what is a ``chanakya``?”]

Not what is Chanakya, but who is Chanakya? He was the political guru of Chandragupta, the king of the famed Maurya dynasty in ancient India; considered the equivalent of Machiavelli, and he too wrote a learned treatise on governance. One of his famous exhortations was to the vaishs (business community) who he felt ought not to try and become kings when they could jolly well buy them! How apt his observation is even today.

Btw, the reference to my “Chowk Chanakya” was metaphorical and more to do with sagely advice than anything else :)

Your persistence regarding my observations on the social/political issues in India is touching. I think there are worthier people around. Besides, Chowk does have something of mine in the pipeline, and it is interesting simply because there is so little of me in it! However, I think the cute mode will continue for a while, so why don’t you just loosen your seat belt and enjoy the smooth ride?

Shirin (#33):

Of course, you wouldn’t be nasty, but hormonal references can hardly qualify as that :) We know there are differences. Like Conan O’Brien said, ``A study in the Washington Post says that women have better verbal skills than men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: Duh.``



About that book, ‘Men are from Mars…”, there is another good one, ‘Only Love is Real’ by Dr. Brian Weiss; it is about soulmates being reunited across births. Ab yeh mat kehna ke hum mumbo-jumbo ki patree par aa gaye. Par agar kismet ki baat ho sakti hai, then I am sure the ‘past’ can be brought back to life. Or, at least a recognition of present unvoiced thoughts, as you quote, “``Qasid key atae atae khat aik aur likh rakhoan, mein janta hoon woh kiya lekhian gey jawab mein`` :)”…which means I must keep my mouth shut and not reveal your turquoise blue secrets! I am dying to know what you think I would have said…

And thanks for ‘How God made women’. Tough job, na?

Studebaker (#35):

[“Farzana# ? Na salam na kalam ? Allah yeh tumhe kya hogaya hai Agar hum se koi aleel hui ho to Gustakhe mauf ho .

Ajnabi ??”]

Tauba! Muafi kis baat ki? Salaam-kalaam ke liye socha nahin ke yeh jagah munasib hogi, magar ab lagta hai ke wohi hota hai jo manzoore khuda hota hai! (Anne, I am beyond even apologising for the digressions now!)

Of course, I could analyse your moniker, if you want:) But instead I shall tell you about the fond memories I have of Willy Loman and his Studebaker in that brilliant play, ‘Death of a Salesman’; it became such a potent symbol of his life, something he has to clutch on to to physically and emotionally survive. (You and Shirin have some discussion going about Sun signs? Libra? My guess is you are Scorpio or Taurus and Shirin is Virgo or Pisces.)

Aur jo kaarawaan ki baat chhedi hai…well I suppose I can do better then “Gaadi bula rahi hai, seeti bajaa rahi hai”! But cannot think of any moving wheel shairs…brake fail ho gaya hai :) Kisi shayar ne theek kaha hai… “Jo aur kuchch nahin to taaza dard hi mile…Main ek hi tarah ki zindagi se tang aa gaya.”
