REALLY COOL !

 

 

  A young second generation Indian in the US was asked
by his mother to explain the significance of "Diwali" to his younger
brother, this is how he went about it...



" So, like this dude had, like, a big cool kingdom and
people liked him. But, like, his step-mom, or something, was kind
of a bitch, and she forced her husband to, like, send this cool-dude,
he was Ram, to some national forest or something... Since he was going,
for
like, something like more than 10 years or so.. he decided to get his
wife
and his bro along... you know...so that they could all chill out
together.


But Dude, the forest was reeeeal scary
shit... really man...they had monkeys and devils and shit like that. But
this dude, Ram, kicked with darts and bows and arrows... so it was
fine.
But then some bad gangsta boys, some jerk called Ravan, picks up his
babe
(Sita) and lures her away to his hood. And boy, was our man, and also
his
bro, Laxman, pissed..... all the gods were with him... So anyways,you
don't
mess with gods. So, Ram, and his bro get an army of monkeys.. Dude,
don't
ask me how they trained the damn monkeys... just go along with me, ok...
.
so, Ram, Lax and their monkeys whip this gangsta's ass in his own hood.
Anyways, by this time, their time's up in the forest..and anyways...it
gets
kinda boring,you know... no TV or
malls or shit like that. So,they decided to hitch a ride back home...
and
when the people realize that our dude, his bro and the wife are back
home... they thought, well, you know, at least they deserve something
nice... and they
didn't have any bars or clubs in those days... so they couldn't take
them
out for a drink, so they, like, decided to smoke and shit...and since
they
also had some lamps, they lit the lamps also... so it was pretty
cooool...
you know with all those fireworks... Really, they even had some local
band
play along with the fireworks... and you know, what, dude, that was the
very first, no kidding.., that was the very first music-synchronized
fireworks... you know, like the 4th of July stuff, but just, more cooler
and stuff, you know. And, so
dude, that was how, like, this festival started."
