There are many jokes being forwarded to me, and I tried not to spread racist ones but I could not resist this, because it reminds me of a real incident:
“Hey, do you know you are trespassing?
Sikh answered : No, I'm Jaspar Singh”
A couple of years ago, one of the estates under my wife’s supervision had a tractor with some lorries carrying out logging work. Upon questioning, the worker said the land-locked land, which they are working on, now belongs to a Punjabi doctor. My wife recognised the name as that of her former classmate. But she was furious that he actually trespassed into the land without the courtesy of asking for permission first.
A meeting was arranged at the company secretary’s office. My wife spelled out the terms and conditions for the right of way as based on her experience, the roads would be damaged and once they are out, she would have nothing to hold them to repair the roads.
In the midst of the arguments, I asked the doctor, ‘Do you know you were trespassing?’
‘What trespassing?’ feigning ignorance, pointing to the contractor. Well, near enough to remind me of the joke somehow. But it was not funny then, as I cannot accept a medical doctor not knowing about basic rules on right of way after buying a land-locked piece of land.
