Sensed the Humor!!!!

The best part about raw humor is that it can emerge out of any situation any time (good or bad)....Sometimes a real frustrated person can come out with the best and most humorous punchlines... I had gone to watch the IPL semi-final between Mumbai and Bangalore.Now, with the venue been shifted to Mumbai at the very last moment ,online booking was the only option to get the tickets.The pain was that one had to take a print out of the e-ticket and collect the hard copy from the venue itself after showing the appropriate identity documents(read pan card/driving license etc.)We reached the venue some 6 hours before the start of play and were greeted with long queues of people waiting for their turn at the counter.There is a long service road that runs adjacent to the DY Patil stadium.So one had to walk a good stretch of say half a mile from the main road to reach the ticket counter..About five minutes later, from frustrated gossips around us , we were introduced to the fact that people have been standing in the line from as early as 9 'o clock and still had not got the tickets.It seemed that the lines were moving at snails pace and mercury levels were rising exponentially.Each and every one was frustrated and cursing their decision to come and watch the match at the stadium instead of doing it from the comforts of their living rooms.Three more liters of sweat later I realized that i had to submit the photo copy of my license too.I asked the person just ahead of me where will i find a photo copy shop as i couldn't sight any as far as my eyes could see.I was sure that the gentleman had gone through the similar blunder cos by his looks and exhausted appearance i guessed he too had got a photocopy for his license from some where around.His reply was quick and classy. "Buddy just walk back towards the main road, the photocopy store is just '300' calories away..!!"..he he he .......Wat a reply
