Sindhi and Sardar

Mr.Thadani, a middle-aged Sindhi, is on a plane for Hongkong, in a window seat.

Just before take-off, this HUGE Sardar wearing a beautiful suit walks up and sits down beside him.

A few minutes later, the plane takes off.
All is well For a while.

But then, Mr.Thadani realizes that he has to go to the washroom.

That wouldn’t be a problem,but he looks over and notices that the Sardar beside him is sound asleep, and Mr.Thadani, being a meek man is afraid to disturb him.

So he figures he’ll hold it in till Sardarji wakes up.

But as luck would have it, the Sardar just keeps snoring away, and Mr. Thadani is feeling increasingly more uncomfortable.

After a while, he starts to feel nauseous as well, what from holding it in combined with the plane ride.

He tries and tries to hold it in, but then “AAARRGGHH!!”–he throws up all over the Sardar and his beautiful suit.

He thinks, “Oh, no! Now he’s gonna kill me!” and sits there in apprehension waiting for the Sardar to wake up.

Finally, the Sardar wakes up, and finds all this vomit all over him. Mr. Thadani says to him, “Well, do you fell better now?”

What kind of Asian are you?

Young Asians in America come in many forms. Below are the major categories. Most Asians fit into multiple groups. For example, Rice-boys can also be Fobs and many Tabs are Fobulous. The only groups that are never part of another group are the Twinkies and the Asian-Americans. When you see your Asian friend, you greet them with “Wassup Fob!” And if your Asian friend says something ridiculous, say “Fob please!” Of course, when a non-Asian calls you a Fob, that is grounds for a fight. Ahahaha…
