This wonderful example of international humor was posted on the listserv list INDIA-D:
By the way, for we people (from India) who were born and brought up in the wrong side of the world, doing things in the wrong way has become a way of life.
For example,
- In India we drive on the wrong side of the road. Even the cars we produce or drive have steering wheels on the wrong side.
- We pronounce 'Z' as "Jed" instead of "Zee".
- We meekly accepted MKS (Meter,Kilogram,Second) system like the rest of the world while America proudly stuck to the FPS system.
- We use Lakhs & Crores while they use millions & billions.
- We dumbly use Celsius while they use Fahrenheit (Cool!).
- We play football only using foot. (How restricting! We lack imagination...)
- In restaurants we ask for a bill and pay it with a cheque unlike here where they ask for check and pay it with a bill (Dollar bill).
- I never realised '#' was the right symbol for pound instead of a L with a slash until I came here. (How stupid of me...)
- While they zoomed past with their cars filled with gallons of GAS, we keep wondering how do you measure gas in gallons.
- We think we have sense of humour while we can't even spell it right.
Even after coming to the right side of the world if I can't correct myself, what am I doing here? I should go back to the wrong side of the world where I belong.
On the other hand why don't the wrong side of the world (Obviously the rest of the world) change their ways and follow the noble example of USA.
Beats me...
