Before tourists come...third spasm
Questions I got asked a lot:
How old are you? Are you married? How many children do you have?
- Seventy-two, widower, no children.
How long since your wife died?
- Seven years.
And you haven't re-married? But who looks after you?
- I do.
No, I mean who cleans your house?
- I do.
And who cooks for you?
- I do.
But what about the dishes?
- I wash them.
Yes, but who washes your clothes?
- I have a washing machine.
Ah! But who puts your clothes in the washing machine?
- I do.
At this point the Bangladeshi male gives up, mentally adjusting to having met one of those fabled English eccentrics. He starts again...
Have you come here to invest in a business?
- No.
But it's so easy to make money in this country.
- So why isn't everybody rich?
Well, you see, this is a poor country, vastly over-populated, and there are no jobs...
