RE: Don't piss your life away... (Humor)

[Guest guest]

In India it was common practice for men to squat down by the side of the

road, and relieve themselves by urinating. This practice was common

enough, even in Delhi.

One time when Soviet Premier ey Kosygin was on a state visit to

India he remarked on this fact in the presence of the Prime Minister of

India, Indra Gandhi. This continued to rankle Mrs. Gandhi, but what

could she say in defense?

Some time later as Mrs. Gandhi was returning the visit of state to the

Soviet Union, she was again with Premier Kosygin. They were in a

chauffeured limousine driving just outside of Moscow. Suddenly, Indira

Gandhi shouted, " Stop the car! Stop the car! " As the car came to a stop

she exclaimed, " Look, there is a man urinating by the side of the road. "

Sure enough, on a parallel road a slight distance away, beside a parked

car, a man was squatting down and urinating by the side of the road.

Kosygin was somewhat outraged by this affront and he directed his

Chauffeur to immediately go across and arrest the offender. The driver

ran over and the two Statesmen could see him having a somewhat lengthy

discussion with the other party. Soon the driver returned empty handed.

Kosygin asked him why he had returned without arresting the offender, to

which the driver replied. " Sir, I was not able to arrest him because he

says he has Diplomatic Immunity. It's the Indian Ambassador. "
