Great addition! Alsation!

Shubha Chand Bhai:

I remember a similar pant joke, A Sardar, on the weekend was sitting outside in his lawn all dressed up with his brand new shirt, neck-tie etc. A passingby neighbor puzzled at Sardarji's odd dressing, asked "Kyon Sardarji savere savere nai kapde paye, kithhay jande o?" Sardar says, (I think I better use Hindi here lest I offened someone with my poor Punjabi...!) "Nahi mai kahin nahi ja raha" So the neighbor says "Then why the new clothes?" Sardar says "Bhai weekend hai, kabhi koi ghar aa jaye islye nai kapde pahene hain" But the neighbor was puzzled at something else, he say, "To Sardarji e nickker kyon paye e?" Sardar says, "Kabhi kabhi koi nahi bi annda e!"
