Indian Man Avoids Washing For 35 Years

Posted by samzenpus on from the reminds-me-of-certain-roommates dept.

An Indian man, who has seven daughters and a wife who must be chronically congested, has not washed himself in 35 years. He believes that not washing will ensure that his next child will be a boy. Instead of bathing and brushing his teeth, Kailash "Kalau" Singh stands on one leg next to a bonfire, smokes marijuana, and says prayers to Shiva. "It's just like using water to take a bath. A fire bath helps kill germs and infection in the body," Kalau was reported as saying. Kalau now tills fields after he had to sell a grocery store he owned, when people stopped shopping there due to his "unhealthy personality."

    He seems to be insuring that he'll never have another child.. so who's to argue when he says his 'next' child will be a boy?

      I don't align with feminists very often but there's a reason why they insist that in some cultures marriage is just a license to rape.

    An indian man who hadn't cleaned himself up for 35 years joins a fridge clean up effort... and the fridge explodes... 50 people sent to the hospital.

    A bystander reports, "wow! that was cool, never saw a fridge explode like that. I didnt even know such colors existed"

    A member of the swat team cautions, "you gotta be careful with approaching fridges with rotten stuff, they are dangerous... wash at least once a year before getting close to one."

    The genetic engineering community, in an unprecedented communique said, "You see, if we could advance genetic engineering to a point where people could choose the sex of their baby, none of this would have happened"

    My neighbor from freshman year has ancestry in Kerala, South India. Due to his extreme laziness, he takes showers twice a month and changes clothes twice a month. If he gets any lazier or decides to use "I want a son" as an excuse, I'll bet you he can go the rest of his life without taking a shower.

    Honey, we just had a boy! Yes, I know we haven't had sex in 35 years, but this must be the work of Shiva. Now, go take a bath!
