Here are some of the quips that people have gotten from me, when they asked me when will I marry...
- "I am, weren't you invited?"
- "I am, we eloped over the weekend, don't tell my parents!"
- "Very soon, but I am planning to invite 500 of my closest folks, so you may not have the invite to my wedding."
- "I like women!" Well some truth in there. I love the women who stand for something, but not romantically. That makes me straight (in an utterly crooked world, of course!)
- "Most of them don't know that you don't say 'return back!' Nor do you."
- "All the men I liked, turned out to be gay and don't like women." Men don't like women anyway, I think beyond a few days, years or months of dating. Have you seen all the married jokes? And how they always are targeted at wives. It is a global concept.
- "I am desperate, but can't find someone. Can we find me someone for the night?" Now this one is an immediate Indian moral-swatter, with certainty. They walk away immediately!
- "Why are you married?" Replies - "Because you have to." Me - "Didn't you know you had a choice? I am exercising mine."
- "I have super-powers; I have to go out in the night in a latex suit and underwear to save the world."
- "Just as you guessed (and gossiped), my family needs my money!"
