I have no idea what he was saying but now my computer is running better.

Thanks, chief!

That was pretty funny.

I know India's a pretty big place, so there's room for lots of points of view and all that, but isn't it kind of weird to take a guy who was the living embodiment of self-deprivation and put his likeness on your currency?

I'd go for a Hindi version of the Monopoly® guy, but that's just me.

A question of etiquette: When you're drinking beer (or anything else, I should imagine) from a glass that has a logo on it, does the logo face you or does it face outward?

Silly, I know, but I kind of dig that Japanese thing where it's good manners to pour the other person's sake.

That said, I knew this POA kind of guy who would offer to light women's cigarettes for them.

Sometimes that went smoothly and sometimes it didn't.

Regardless, I found the whole thing rather off-putting.

Interesting. Of course the laughter was too long and too loud. A hearty chuckle would have sufficed.
