My Funniest Joke and the Jovial Friends I Have
When asked to give a fun fact about myself, one of my favorite jokes to share is something my friends shared and later a joke I shared on a conference call. It showcases my ability to spread some much-needed humor and lighten the mood, especially during stressful times.
Stress and Humor
A few days ago, during a conference call with my friends, we were discussing my upcoming National Board of Examinations (NBE) exam. Friend 2 made a joke about me being an 'alag level ki praani' (next level creature) who might shock her seniors with a terrible joke one day. I responded humorously, saying that it was not my exam but the NBE exam, adding a light-hearted tone to a serious situation.
Being stressed did not stop me from cracking a terrible joke, indicating my knack for making humor in unexpected moments. Here's a typical conversation we often have: "I, Friend 1, said, 'Gargi soo ja! Sab thik hoga. Gargi sleep! Everything will be alright.' Friend 2 replied, 'Soo Ja tera exam hai. Sleep you’ve an exam.' I added, 'Mera exam nai hai NBE ka exam hai.' This stress and humor dance is what makes our friendship so unique and joyous.
Our Typical Jokes and Conversations
The examples of our typical conversations reveal the kind of friends I have. Below is an example:
Friend 1: 'Don’t worry Gargi by saving money when Friend2 gets a MD degree at that time she will give us party.'
Friend 2: 'Yes please do pray that I get into MD degree.'
Me to Friend1: 'What did you have today? You seem to be high.'
Friend 1 to Friend 2: '10paise per normal prayer and 100paise per important prayer.'
Background story: Friend2 stopped calling us because her service provider used to give her free calls before but now charges her 6paise/minute, and Friend1 is making the most of this situation. This shows how committed my friends are to maintaining the spirit of humor, no matter the small misfortunes.
Amusing Jokes
Here are a few more jokes I often share:
1. Sneezing Out a Tooth
-Hey! I once sneezed out a tooth into my friend’s hair during church, which got everyone laughing.
2. Shark Encounter
-A shark almost bit off my arm during a surf test, which was no laughing matter but provided some good anecdotal humor.
3. Fluent Languages
-I can speak fluent German!
-I can also speak fluent Mandarin!
These jokes and stories not only highlight my humorous side but also encapsulate the camaraderie and lightheartedness that define my friendships. This ability to find humor in any situation is a true blessing and a valuable character trait that benefits me and those around me.
