Eat Indian, Be Indian

Traditionally, Indian Food Is Served On A Rug On The Floor And People Are Supposed To Sit In A Circle.
In Case You Are Using A Table, Let The Eldest Person Sit First. The Host Is Supposed To Sit In A Direction From Where He Can See Everyone Around Him. 

When Everyone Is Seated, Wait For The Food To Be Served.
You Should Not Chatter Unnecessary With The People Around You.







Indian Tradition Does Not Emphasize On The Use Of Cuttlery Which Are Considered To Be A Part Of Western Culture, Such As Forks And Knife. Indian Food Such As Curries And Gravies Are Enjoyed Best When Eaten With Hands.

Wash Hands Properly Before Starting As Much Of The Food Is Eaten With Hands, Even If You Arev Using Basic Cutleries Such As Spoon And Fork.

Wait For The Eldest To Start First. Even If You Are Starving Don't Attack The Food or Eat Hastily. It Is Considered Disrespectful And A Bad Manner.

You Are Not Expected To Use Your Left Hand While Eating. Even Breads And Chapattis Are Broken Into Pieces Using The Right Hand Alone. But You Are Supposed To Transfer Food From The Common Plate Using Your Clean Left Hand.






In North India It Is Not Accepted To Stain Your Hands With Gravies Or Curries, Only Fingertips It Used To Pick And Gather Food. However, In South India, You Can Take Liberty To Dip Your Hand Upto Your Palms.






Dont Flood Your Plate With Food. You Dont Have To Taste Each And Every Dish Served. Finish Your Whole Food Before Asking For More. Wasting Food Is Considered Disrespect To The Host And The Food.

Once You Have Finished Your Food, Dont Leave The Table Until The Host Asks Youy To. If You Have To Leave The Table, Ask For The Permission From The People Before Leaving.






Dont Wash Your Hands In Your Plate Or On The Bay Leaf And You Are Not Expected To Close The Bay Leaf- If You Are In South India. Use A Finger Bowl ( Lemon And Water ) To Wash Your Greasy Hands.

You Are Expected To Say Polite Terms Like 'Please' And 'Thank You' As A Courtesy Towards Your Host.

Good Jokes

Good jokes are good because not only it will bring laughter to the people, but it will also not offend other people. Good jokes or commonly called clean jokes are those that don’t contain a foul and green intent. They share humor that can be presented to all kinds of age, whether you are a child who understands the concept of the joke, or an adult. Mark Twain is of those who write good jokes; he is an American author as well as a humorist. An example of his works would be the Adventures of Huckleberry Fin, and the Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

There are many types of jokes that are made, one example is the Question and Answer (Q&A) jokes. These are some examples of Q&A jokes:

Q: “Where do you find a no legged dog?” A:”Right where you left him.”

Q:”What do get from a pampered cow?” A:”Spoiled milk.”

Q:”How do crazy people go through the forest?” A:”They take the psycho path.”

Q:”What do you call a cheese that isn’t yours?” A:”Nacho cheese.”

Q:”Why don’t blind people like to sky dive?” A:”Because it scares the dog.”

There are also one-liner jokes that are short but deliver the humor through the straight to the point punch line. Here are some examples for one-liner jokes:

“Boys are like parking spaces, the good ones are take-in!!!”

“The Magician was driving down the road… then he turned into a driveway.”

“To a worm, digging in the hard ground is more relaxing than going fishing.”

“I believe in dragons, good men, and other fantasy creatures.”

“No more about Elvis, OK? Thankyouvermuch.”

“I finally got my head together, now my body is falling apart.”

Meanwhile, there are also Good Jokes that depict a story and at the end of the story is the punch line. They usually portray people with their stupidity and dullness which makes people laugh at the end. Here are some examples of short story jokes:

Windy Tale?

“Three retirees, each with hearing loss, were playing golf one fine March day. One remarked to the other , ‘Windy, isn’t it?’ ‘No,’ the second man replied, ‘it’s Thursday.’ The third man chimed in, ‘So am I. Let’s have a beer.’”

Secret Service?

“A Friend was in front of me coming out of church one day, and the preacher was standing at the door as he always is to shake hands. He grabbed my friend by the hand and pulled him aside: The pastor said to him, ‘You need to join the Army of the Lord!’ My friend replied, ‘I’m already in the Army of the Lord, Pastor.’ Pastor questioned, ‘How come I don’t see you except at Christmas and Easter?’ He whispered back, ‘I’m in the secret service.’”

Shame

“‘You should be ashamed,’ the father told his son, Andy, ‘When Abraham Lincoln was your age, he used to walk ten miles everyday to get to school.’ ‘Really?’ Andy responded. ‘Well, when he was your age, he was president.’

There are many Good Jokes that are very funny to hear yet is clean and available for all to hear. Your funny experiences in your life can also be made into a joke so that you can make people laugh. Just be happy and make people laugh because as the saying goes by Mark Twain “The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.”
