At a hotel, a chef announces: Tonight's menu is inspired by Monday's election results.
Guests line up: one tray labelled 'Victory Murgh', another 'Defeat Dal', and a third 'Hung Assembly Halwa'.
A journalist covering the proceedings asks, 'Which dish is most popular?'
The chef shrugs, and says, 'Depends who you ask. The winners say the chicken is delicious. The losers say the dal is poisoned. And everyone eats the halwa because it tastes like confusion.'
'Paan,' the chef lets the reporter know, 'will be served in various resorts across the state in case MLAs need a post-poll get-together retreat.'
Psychic Poll Worker
A man walks into the counting centre and asks the Election Commission worker, 'So, who's winning?'
The poll worker closes her eyes, mutters, and says, 'I see Candidate A ahead by 50,000 votes.'
The man gasps: But the counting hasn't even started!
She smiles, and replies, 'Exactly. That's why I'm always right. If Candidate A wins, I predicted it. If Candidate B wins, I predicted Candidate A would lose despite being 50,000 votes ahead. Either way, I'm a prophet.'
