Written words have a wonderful way of conveying the wrong thing. Heres a email we received from M’s Personal Assistant:
Dear All,
Mr. M will not be coming to the office because he has a back pain due to some gas problems
Regards, X
Heres what had happened to M. He had sprained his back trying to lift a full Gas Cylinder.

One of such similar conversation btn myself and a friend
My Friend: Today my mother called me early in the morning at 5
Me: Why so early?
My: Because I had brought their gas home and it got over there…
For a sec, I paused!! then I relate it.
sometime my MIL asks me, Gas off maadidya? she meant – Gas Stove off maadidya?

Hi,
That was a very gassy blog, that too when the gas prices are coming down 🙂

Heres what had happened to M ….
….. he strained his back while competing in the office farting competition. But he won.
LOL one needs to be careful with language 😛
“He had sprained his back trying to lift a full Gas Cylinder”. Don’t believe it, it’s a cover-up.
@Josh,compulsivewriter,Sandysays1,Gowri: Thanks 😀
@My3: lol.. Good Link
@Pranesh:lol
@shivya,Nikhil: Thanks
@Veena: Gas is an interesting word subject to misinterpretations
@Salil: 🙂
@Ray: Trust you to think of a competition for everything…
@BlueMist: Indeed..
@India-Travels : he he.. maybe Ray is right…its a “nose” cover up
We Australians are very competitive and will run a competition on anything. We even have:
Duck races
Camel races
Boat races without water (and boats made out of beer cartons)
Ferret races
Yabbie races (a yabbie is like a small freshwater crayfish)
And, the best of all:
WET T SHIRT COMPETITIONS – biggest boobs usually win
