Overheard


"Boring party isn't it? Hope I'm not intruding but I see you've been keeping to yourself Mr.. ?"
"Zungenbrecher"

"Zun.. what?"
"Zungenbrecher"

"Umm .. well, you see Mr Zun .."
"Are you mocking my name Sir?"

"Noo ..not at all.. haha. Its just a little twisty. What do your friends call you?"
"Scioglilingua Zungenbrecher"

"Alright..what does someone close, say your wife, call you?"
"My wife.. (sigh).. she cannot call me anything"

"Ohh... I seem to be asking all the wrong questions. I'm very sorry for your loss "
"What did I lose?"

"I meant your wife's passing away"
"Thats my wife, standing over there in that ridiculous dress she made me buy for an exorbiant price"

"What..? but you said she cannot..? Ohh.. you meant she's a mute"
"Yup. Dumb"

"Anyway, can I call you by your initials, SZ?"
"Only my wife calls me SZ"

"But she's dumb for heaven's sake"
"Who the hell are you calling my wife dumb, huh?"

"Sorry..I meant no disrespect. I was only reminding you that she is a mute"
"Like I needed reminding. I've been living with that dumb bimbo for the last 10 years"

"I see Mr.SZ"
"I'm sorry mister, I don't remember marrying you. But I do remember telling you that *only* my wife calls me SZ, understand?"

"Not really.. no, but thats okay, I think I'll go get myself a drink"
"Oh.. so now you want to get away, after all this"

"After all what?!"
"After you've learnt all this about me"

"What have I learnt?"
"You tell me. You are one eyeing my wife"

"Eyeing ..What?! No..! Whats with you?"
"You were asking me about her, werent you?"

"I was asking about you too.."
"Me too..? Perv, what is this.. some kinda sick fantasy involving married couples?"

"I am married too.. happily married in fact. You got me all wrong"
"Great! So your wife's gonna join us too."
