Talking about bonuses, buses and mongooses....

Post by John Little »

Mongooses got me thinking about "Rikitikitavi" the mongoose from the book. Which got me thinking about "Tarka the otter"......

....And Another joke about Indian restaurants.

A man goes into an Indian restaurant and asks for a "Chicken tarka marsarla". "Never heard of that" says the waiter "what is it?"

The man answered "It's like Chicken tika marsarla only otter".

The old ones are the best :D

Actually, I gave you a "like" before the full meaning sunk in! :)

Now around christmas we would say "Bonüsse" (for the German speakers). A bonus and "Nüsse" (nuts) are usually both given around the end of the year, so they somehow belong together.
And there is the association of "Genüsse".
