On our second day in Mumbai, we went on a tour, which was lots of fun. I don’t have enough time to type up the details yet, but here’s a taste, via a couple of our conversations:
walking past a street vendor selling watches, clocks, etc.:
vendor: Hello ma’am, ma’am? I have a huge clock.
me: heeeee ha ha ha
jeff: <apu voice> no thank you, I already have an enormous clock.
me: ya right.
jeff: shut up.
: : : : :
me: heeeee ha ha ha
jeff: why are you laughing?
me: the guide said that this is called the Hanging Garden because unemployed people come here to hang out…
jeff: no. he said unemployed people come here to hang themselves…
me: …oh.
: : : : :
coming out of the restroom at the ghandi house/museum:
me: I peed in Ghandi’s house!
jeff: oh.my.god.
me: what? do you know anyone else who can say that??
jeff: no, and you should totally change your messenger name to that.
me: awesome!!

at a restaurant, having a late lunch:
me: could I have a diet coke please? in a can?
server: 4 o’clock.
jeff & me: <blank stare>
me: diet coke? in a can?
server: oh diet coke ok ma’am <walks away>
jeff: <apu voice> hellloooo? what time is it please? in a can?
me: <laughing hysterically>
(ps, in the restaurant again? Staring Lady. I shit you not)
