For those who don't know, "Tuma" is a small orange size round fruit grows on vines in desert. It is really bitter.
One time a Jat and his Pundit friend were talking and walking. While they were walking, the Pundit saw a camel who avoided eating Tuma. He was sort of surpirzed and said to his Jat friend, hum! Tuma is so bitter that even a camel doesn't want to eat it. Jat got offended a bit with the fact that a Pundit is telling him how Tuma tests. Afterall, what a Pundit knows about what grows in the fields. Jat turned and said no Pundit, Tuma is very sweet fruit. Well, I never tested it but looking at what the camel did, I can imagine it must be very bitter, Pundit replied. By now, Jat got really agitated and angry, and went to the vine got a Tuma and eat the whole thing. Although his nose was running and eyes were full with tears, he said, look Moda (degrading name for Pundit, as the bitter Tuma was hurting his mouth), I tell you this is the sweetest fruit I have ever eaten.
Since then there is a saying, 'don't argue with Jiddi Jat, he could eat Tuma and say it is sweet'.
