During one of my outings using the public transport I remember this incident. The conductor and one of the comuters had a very serious argument about something and the whole atmosphere in the bus was pretty tensed (almost ready to explode). Under such circumstances there happened to be this conversation between a 40 something uncle and the conductor - (The convo is in Marathi, so the fun would be if you understand the language. Translation will minimize the effect hence I would avoid it)
Uncle: "Hi gaadi coporation la jail ka?"
Conductor: "Nahin, Baal Gandharva la utrun ja...tithun jawal aahe"
Uncle: Jawal aahe na? Mag tumhich ghya ki gaadi tithun firwuun. Aaaho aamhi 10 loka aahot..kuthe chalat basnaar. Tumhich ghya ki gaadi tithun.
Conductor (laughing inspite of himself): Aaaho kaka, hi PMT aahe tumchi swatachi gaadi navha....
Uncle: Bhadakta kashya pai...stop aala ki saanga, aamhi utru. Aaamchya gavakade asa chalta...mhanun vicharlela bara.....
The simplicity of the man's expectation and his innocence charmed everyone including the angry conductor.
