Faux Pas of the Week

So my dear mother has given a pair of my pants for alteration at our tailor's, and instructed me to hand over 40 bucks to my driver and ask him to pick it up. 'He knows where it is', she tells me confidently.

But when I get to the office, I'm in a bit of a hurry and busy thinking of ten things at the same time. As I'm getting out of the car, I just about remember to tell him to pick up the pants. I notice his strange expression only as I'm slamming the door shut and realize it is due to the fact that I have just tossed him a hundred rupee note, with the words:

'Bhaiiya, Mera Pant Uthana'

    Duh duh, let me start by echoing everyone else sentiments and say HAHAHAHA. Let me proceed to say - if anyone in the world was capable of saying such a thing, it must have been you.

    Sigh - I wish my job had these kinds of perks.

    ROFL!!!

    I keep doing this often....can't think of any from the recent past to quote though....

    Aaaaah....I was getting a pedicure while talking to mom on the fone...and I told the guy..."bhaiyya thoda aur karo" as he was finishing massaging the foot..

    and my mom in an alarmed voice asks me..."kisse kya karva rahe ho?"
