Die by the dish

Posted by: saganbyte on: July 1, 2010

Many years ago, a lot of poor men and women left their houses and went to other houses. By poor I mean married… The word ‘poor’ is used sympathetically. So these poor men and women changed a lot of houses. Most women went and lived with their new husbands, some men and women bought new houses and some men went and directly lived in the women’s existing houses. This story is about the third kind, where the men went and lived in the women’s houses. The men woke up early and started the day by washing the dishes and cleaning the women’s under garments. Then they would serve their in laws till they forgave them for something they had never done. One fine day, everyone died and all the problems were over.

Moral of the story: Don’t bother doing the dishes, you will die anyways.
