Humour Club--
I found the time to attend the Humour Club meeting on August 12th-- For information the Triplicane chapter meets every month on the second Sunday at PS School at 4 PM- Some nice anecdotes to share
First One
Tenkachi Swaminathan ( All India Radio artiste ) was invited to a village near Thiruvarur to give a talk -- he agreed and only when he reached there realised that he was assigned to inagurate a Hearse van-- The villagers had taken pains to get this ready -- the crematorium was at the next village and now one had the energy to carry a corpse and hence the hearse van. Now Tenkachi was stunned - How do you inagurate a " Hearse van " ?
tenkachi the master of wit , quickly cut the ribbon , addressed the crowd and told them that since he was from outstation he cannot use the van -- he encouraged them to use the van diligently and daily and also suggested that it be assigned on a daily basis to a family !!
The second one was different-- One political reporter walked to the stage to share this
He was covering the launch of the Tamil Manila Congress by Moopanar in Tirunelveli-- One the agenda items was the re launch of the Kamaraj rule if TMC came to power-- A stalwart got up to speak about the Kamarak rule-- he said the Ministers were honest , the govt officials only did their duty etc., he went on to add that one Minister who quit his post took a Pallavan bus to reach his home-- Another who died , did not have enough money for a burial-- All this was insipiring and awesome speech -- So you thought-- The crowd started disappearing from the meeting-- the reporter was amused and started to check one of the attendees who was leaving-- the man replied -- Who wants to join this party-- One will never make money --cannot buy land , mobile, Tata Sumo and so on-- By the time the speaker has concluded his " Kamaraj Rule " , the venue was empty-- the reported told Moopanar about this and TMC promptly stopped using the USP " Kamaraj Rule " --
The chief guest or the main speaker was Siva Karthikeyan who won the Kallka povathu Yaru Part 3 title-- Cash award of 5 lakhs-- this guy is still a student -- having completed his BE , he is pursuing his MBA and has lot to offer- Look out for this young man who knows what the audience wants ( repeat Customer wants )
