An old joke

Recent turn of events in Indian political scene reminded on of an old joke.

The joke falls in genre of Namboothiri jokes. These, a private pride of every malayali, have multiple levels of depth to a discerning listener and are, often, more than a joke.

Well, the joke that I am reminded of is that there was a theft in some Namboothiri's home and he came to report the same to the king. Listening attentively to the story, the king remarked that it was so sad. To this, Namboothiri replied that his wife too said the same. King is reported to have got the message and taken appropriate action to nab the thief and return money to the victim.

I hope our leaders now would also rise up to the occassion
