Terrific one-liners.

  1. Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving.

  2. Having one child makes you a parent, having two you are a referee.

  3. Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right and the other is the husband.

  4. I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried but they wanted cash.

  5. A child's greatest period of growth is the month after you've purchased new school uniforms.

  6. Don't feel bad. A lot of people have no talent.

  7. Don't marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without, but
      whatever you do, you'll regret it later.

  8. You can't buy love but you pay heavily for it.

  9. Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.

10. Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

11. Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.

12. My wife and I always compromise. I admit I'm wrong and she agrees with me.

13. Those who can't laugh at themselves leave the job to others.

14. Ladies first. Pretty ladies sooner.

15. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

16. You're getting old when you enjoy remembering things more than doing them.

17. It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.

18. Real friends are the ones who survive transition between address and books.

19. Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.

20. Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say
      something.

21. They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak.

22. Man : Is there any way for long life?
      Dr    : Get married.
      Man : Will it help?
      Dr    :  No, but then the thought of long life will never come!

23. Why do couples hold hands during their wedding? It's a formality just like two boxers shaking
      hands before the fight begins!

24. Wife : Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do?
      Husband : Let us stand in silence for two minutes.

25. It's funny when people discuss Love Marriage vs Arranged. It's like asking someone, if suicide is
      better or being murdered.

26. There's only one perfect child in the world and every mother has it.

27. There's only one perfect wife in the world and every neighbour has it!


Tailpiece.

Got up at 6, the chores and was ready in time. Selvam, the pressman, had dropped by and we really didn't have anything worthwhile to press but seeing him in dire straits, eleven clothes that we usually wear at home were given to him. Lekha gave him breakfast and he took a grand on loan.

We were witness to yet another result of the lock down, the first being Suma, the maid. She had specifically requested that she be allowed to come in everyday, the lock down notwithstanding. Her daughter is getting married in September and she seems to have taken loans from here and there. What I'm impressed about her is her keenness to do work!
