D'OH-III : Obituary/Innovation

Don't worry.. our beloved homer isn't dead. He has just taken his pea-size intellect and his ornate vocabulary to a different college. So, this two part post is dedicated to his memory.. He's been replaced by a telugu poetry-writing, B.tech-pass scumbag who teaches you that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. The other side might have no grass or is actually not cultivable...!!! More on him later.

Now that the post is going over and above the reader's head, I better get back to the anecdote that I was gonna narrate...

This one time, Homer gave us a problem to solve. Not surprisingly, noone was able to solve it. He says that as future-engineers, we should not solve all problems in the traditional way but should come up with innovative ideas ourselves to try and solve them. To illustrate this, he comes up with the following example:

(In order to retain the humour, the writer had to stick to the original language. A translation is of course provided for those who find it difficult to understand)

Meeru eppudaina LG ad chusara? (Have you ever seen the LG ad?)


LG ad chudaleda?? TV lo eppudu vesthu vuntadu kada... (Never seen the ad?? They keep showing it on TV)

Adey, football aduthu vuntaru. Oka car velthundi... (They play football, a car passes by..)


Adeynayya, varsham paduthu vuntundi... Aa abbayi ki sarigga kanipinchadu (Its raining and the boy cant see clearly..)


Appudu emavuthundi?? ( What happens then?)

A car ni chusi, aa abbayi ki oka idea vasthundi.. (The boy gets an idea by looking at the car)

Car ki emi vuntundi?? (What does a car have??)

<"Wipers" say everybody in unison>

And then Homer says...

Diapers


Then he repeats it..
Cars have diapers.. so, daanini chusi, this boy gets an idea. And he puts diapers on his glasses to see clearly.

Imagine everybody's condition.. They had to shut up and keep a straight face when someone kept saying "Cars have diapers" Or they would have been thrown out of the class. Should have seen the confidence with which he said it. As if he knew exactly what he was saying, like always.
All that the example taught us was that not only does Homer not know what diapers are, he doesn't know what wipers are, either... If cars have diapers, then do babies wear wipers???
Alright, nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes.. But c'mon! How many people cant tell the difference between a wiper and a diaper? And how many of them get to boss others around and keep pointing their mistakes out?? Think about it..
