Those were the days...

[Guest guest]

Long long time ago, (actualy about 15 years back) in a land far far away,

(Mayapur) there lived a kid. The same one who was to become the famous

Sridama of the Jokes Conference hall of fame!

 

So, once at the gurukul they were doing some spelling drills.

 

The prabhu asked bhakta Tantra dasa if he can spell 'before.' Tantra stands

up and says, "Before, B-E-P-H-O-R."

 

The prabhu says, "No, that's wrong. Can anyone else spell before?"

 

Little Adi stands up and says, "Before, B-E-F-O-O-R."

 

Again the prabhu says, "No, that's wrong Adi."

"Little Sri, can you spell 'before'?"

 

Little Sri stands up and boldly declares (what no kid had declared before!),

"Before, B-E-F-O-R-E."

 

"Excellent Sri, now can you use it in a sentence?"

 

Little Sri says, "That's easy. Two plus two be fore."
