They are Still at It

Well, he has done it. He has finally done it. The Esteemed Nutter of the Paternal Persuasion has gone and cut his hand.

How you ask?

Ok, the Meister will tell you. One of the Nutters' neighbours has a coconut tree. So said neighbour had a stock clearance kinda thing, he got all the coconuts down, and distributed them in the neighbourhood. So, naturally, Esteemed Nutter went and bugged him for free coconuts. After extreme bugging, he came back with 4 coconuts.

So far so good?

Esteemed Nutterthen decided to cut/peel the coconuts. So he got out the sickle kinda thingy, which is older than the Meister btw, lifted it up and smartly and with much vim and vigour ninja chopped it down on his finger.

Cue - in the words of Esteemed Nutter of the Maternal Persuasion - gallons of blood.

Anyway, this gave her a perfect opportunity to have fun- she kept on scaring Esteemed Nutter of the Paternal Persuasion about titanus and gangrene and amputation etc etc. After constant predictions of doom and gloom, Esteemed Nutter of the Paternal Persuasion finally went and got the wound cleaned and dressed etc etc.

Suffice to say that he wasn't happy. In fact, he was waiting for an opportunity for revenge so to speak; an opportunity which he got a couple of days later when he went to his college.

Well, seeing him going around with a big ass bandage, his colleagues naturally asked him whats the matter. Here's how the scene went.....

Assorted Colleagues: What happened?
ENPP: You won't belive it
AC: No, seriously, what happened? Did you cut your finger? How?
ENPP: If I tell the truth, you won't belive me. You will say that I am joking around.
AC: Nono, why wouldn't we belive you? We will, we will, please tell us.
ENPP: Ok, here goes. You remember the weather last weekend?
AC: Yeah, it was very cold
ENPP: Exactly, so I asked my wife to make me some pithas
AC: Yeah, so?
ENPP: So, she refused saying she is too old and tired to do such stuff anymore.
AC: Ok.....
ENPP: So, I told her that she should get me married to a much younger woman who will cook what I want. Hearing that she went apeship and attacked me with a knife. I cut myself while trying to save my life.

Pin drop silence in college staff room

Anyway, ever since the youngsters have been looking at Esteemed Nutter of the Maternal Persuasion with fear in their eyes, and the oldies and friends have been asking her in staff room, college corridors etc: "Dude, what really happened? Is it the truth? Did you really attack him?" etc etc.

Well, they have been doing this for more than 35 years now and are pretty expert at it. So with joy de vivre et all, they suddenly decided to go to Sunderbans (Meister's brief visit to the zoo - details in the next blog - might have given them the inspiration). So they went, ate crabs, bugged the crap out of numerous wild fowls and birds, deers, boars and alligators (the tigers had run away upon hearing of their impending arrival) and generally spent 2 wonderful days (idyllic existence only shattered by Meister's phone call and deeply philosophical question about why Bongs get gas)
