Conversion Confusion !
These is one of the greatest joke I ever heard & it's so funny that it makes me
laugh every time I read it. Let me give a chance to share it with u all. Start
reading & read very carefully to see how the telephonic conversation can make us
crazy just 'cos of pronunciation-problem !!!!!!!!!
The phone rings. ......
Who's calling?" was the answer to the telephone.
"Watt."
"What is your name, please?"
"Watt's my name."
"That's what I asked you. What's your name?"
"That's what I told you. Watt's my name."
A long pause, and then from Watt, "Is this James Brown?"
"No, this is Knott."
"Please tell me your name."
"Will Knott."
YOU LEFT THE TALKERS AT A POINT WHERE THEY WERE TOTALLY CONFUSED,
READ THE REST OF WHAT HAPPENED...
"Why not? "
"Huh? What do you mean why not? "
"Yeah! Why won't you tell me your name? "
"But I told you my name! "
"Didn't you say you will not? "
"Not not, knott, Will Knott! "
"That's what I mean."
"So you know my name. "
"Of course not!"
"Good. So now, what is yours? "
"Watt. Yours?"
"Your name! "
"Watt's my name. "
"How the hell do I know? I am asking you! "
"Look I have been very patient and I have told you my name and you have not even told me
yours yet."
"You have been patient, what about me? I have told you my name
so many times and it is you who have not told me yours yet. "
"Of course not!"
"See, you even know my name! "
"Of course not! "
"Then why do you keep saying of course Knott? "
"Because I don't. "
[Pause........]
"What is your name? "
"See, you know my name! "
"Of course not!"
"Then why do you keep asking Watt is your name? "
"To find out your name! "
"But you already know it! "
"What? "
"See, and you know mine! "
"Of course not!"
"Exactly! "
NOW THEY ARE AT A POINT WHERE BOTH THINK THE OTHER KNOWS THEIR NAME,
BUT THEY THEMSELVES DON'T KNOW THE OTHER'S NAME.
"Listen, listen, wait; if I asked you what your name is, what will be your answer? "
"Watt's my name."
"No, no, give me only one word. "
"Watt"
"Your name! "
"Right!"
[pause before it hits him........]
"Oh, Wright! "
"Yeah!"
"So why didn't you say it before? "
"I told you so many times!"
"You never said Wright before.
"Of course I did. ""
"Ok I won't argue any more. Do you know my name? "
"I do not."
"Well, there you go, now we know each other's name. "
"I do not!"
"Good! "
[pause before it hits him..........]
"Oh, Guud! "
"Good. "
"No wonder, it took me so long, is that Dutch? "
"No, it's Knott!"
"Oh, okay. At least the names are clear now Guud. "
"Yes Wright."
NOW THEY BOTH THINK THEY KNOW EACH OTHER'S NAME AS WELL !
Do U think so ?????????
