More Political Gas

At a rally, a politician declares, 'Brothers and sisters, I promise every household two free gas cylinders!'

The crowd erupts in cheers.

One old man shouts, 'But what if there's a shortage?'


The politician beams. 'Then you will get three!'

The crowd cheers louder.

The old man mutters, 'In this country, cylinders are rarer than honesty. Promises may be gas, but at least they don't leak.'

Cylindrical Proposal

A young man goes to meet his prospective bride's family. The father asks, 'Beta, what do you do?'

The boy replies, 'Uncle, I work in IT.'

Father [frowns]: Hmm. But do you have a gas cylinder connection in your name?

Boy [hesitates]: No, Uncle, I live in a PG.

The father slams the table. 'Then what will you feed my daughter - Wi-Fi?!'

The boy, desperate, says, 'Uncle, I promise I'll book a cylinder tomorrow.'

The father smiles. 'Good. Marriage pakki. In this house, love is measured in cubic metres of LPG.'
