Nepali Question Answer Q. Why do Nepali women wear red dots on their foreheads? A. Well, in ancient times, Nepali men used to practice archery skills by target practicing by aiming at their wife's red dot. In fact, that is one of the reasons why they had many wifes. You see, once they mastered the art of archery and hit the target.... Q. You're from Nepal, aren't you? I have read so much about the country. All the wonderful places, the forests, the snake charmers, the elephants. Do you still use elephants for transportation? A. Absolutely. In fact we used to have our own elephant in our house. But later, we started elephant-pooling with our neighbors, to save the air. You see elephants have an "emissions" problem..... Q. Does Nepal have cars? A. No. We ride elephants to work. The government is trying to encourage ride-sharing schemes. Q. Does Nepal have TV? A. No. We only have cable. Q. Are all Nepali vegetarian? A. Yes. Even tigers are vegetarian in Nepal. Q. Is it true that everyone there is very corrupt? A. Yes, in fact, I had to bribe my parents so that they would let me go to school. Q. Nepal is very hot, isn't it? A. It is so hot there that all the water boils spontaneously. That is why tea is such a popular drink in Nepal. Q. Nepalese cannot eat beef, huh? A. Cows provide milk which is a very essential part of Nepali diet. So eating cows is forbidden. However in order to decrease the population of the country, the government is trying to encourage everyone to eat human meat. Q.Nepal is such a religious place. Do you meditate regularly? A. Yes, sometimes I meditate for weeks without food and drink. But it is difficult to keep my job, because I have to miss work when I meditate like that. But the bosses there do the same thing. That is why things are so inefficient there. Q. I saw on TV that people there walk on burning coals. Why do they do that? A. We don't have shoes. So we burn the botton of our feet to make it hard so that we can walk. Q. Why do you sometimes wear Nepali clothes to work? A. I prefer it to coming naked. <<Previous! Back to Jokes! Next>> |
