Comedy of errors

Yesterday... Our Acct. Manager "Mitra" and Sales Manager for this region"Eugene" (an American) has come to see us all and to take us to a lunch.I made a real mess with them right from the begnning to the end...The Joker inside me really played a part yesterday...

1. They took us to a Thai rest to eat and we ordered some NV stuff.Towards the end of lunch, Eugene was taking some rice (for himself) and wasasking me "is it good?"I, beggr, heard it as "some more food?"... I started acting.. "No No"... andkept the hands crossed on the plates andsaid "My Stomach is full!!!"... Everyone there understood this fellow isblabering.. and Eugene asked me again "Is the lunch good?"This time got it an said "Yeah! Its good"...Then he replied "That was the question. I was not trying to serve you!!!". .. this is what I call perfect embarrasment..

2. Then they all (Mitra, Eugene, Suman, Rekha and I was standing simply inthe corner) had a discussion in our bay.Then they started to leave. They bid "Good Bye" and "Take care" and allthat.Now Suman went out (for his cabin). They (Mitra & Eugene) both left out forcar.Rekha wanted to convey smthing to Mitra and she went with them.Seeing everyone leaving the cabin, I , beggar, thought "Ok!, We are goingfor send off" and I too followed them.Thats when Eugene turned back and said to Mitra "Will he follow us whereverwe go?" and to me "Take Care G'Man! GO to work!!!".. this is what I call perfect embarrasment..

Hmmm, Only God can save me out...
