Goan Eccentricities 3

This one is awesome. We were looking through the menu and wanted to order something in chicken. Well, not me cos I'm vegetarian but the people with me? Yeah they...So anyway as you can see there were 6 dishes to choose from. What really struck me was the 2nd one on the list.
"Chicken". Just "Chicken". Wow.. Thats like a whole new level aint it?


Can I get one chicken please?
Which chicken?
Oh just chicken.
Huh?
Oh by the way are you gona bring it on a leash and tie it to our umbrella?

Goan Eccentricities 2

I met a guy today. One of those typical road side temporary shop owners. I stopped to buy some cigs.
Me: 1 pack lights please
He: I dont have a pack I have just 9.
Me: Ok I'll take them.
He: No I can give you 5
Me: What? Just give me all 9.
He: No i need them.
Me: You do? Aren't you supposed to be selling them?
He: Yeah I need a few here in the shop to sell.
Me: What? Isnt that what you're doing now?
He: I cant give you all 9. Thats it. I wont have any left.
Me: To myself (You're a freaking moron. The weirdest I've met so far).

Goan eccentricities

2 pm in the afernoon. You walk towards a restaurant for lunch. The door is shut. A hand written signboard is seen on it. "Closed for Lunch"

11 am in another restaurant. Customer to waiter - "Bhai, ek mast wala chai la". Waiter contemplates for 5 mins, gives an apologetic look to the customer and says "Bhai bana na padega".
