1. The reporter who was sent to cover a public meeting returned, but did not file a report. When asked by his boss, he replied simply, 'The meeting did not happen.' It did not occur to the reporter that that was news too.
2. A couple had a long argument in their bedroom without a hope for a compromise. Unable to bear each other's presence they walk angrily towards the door, but reach it at precisely the same time. The irate husband says tartly, 'I don't step aside for fools.' The wife steps aside and retorts, 'I do.'
3. The expression in Telugu to ask a guest at home to eat without feeling shy involves using the word 'siggu', literally meaning 'shame'. So the host in his newly acquired English asks his shy guest to 'eat shamelessly'.
