Vignette from Farjan Mushfiqul Amin

A Funny Story 
Farjan Mushfiqul Amin

There were two friends. One good and one bad. A bad friend would always write and pass on the sight of a good friend. This is how it went until Bhaiba. The bad friend said to the good friend, "You go in first and then tell me what they ask and what you answer.""Okay," said the good friend. Good friend went in first. The authorities first asked the question, "In what year did the Liberation War take place?"  The good friend replied, "It was supposed to be in 1952, but it was in 1971."  The authority asked the second question, "Tell a freedom fighter's name?"  The good friend replied, "There are many, who shall I name?"  The authority asked the third question, "Comment on the share market."  "That's a matter of research," replied the good friend.  This time the good friend came out. The authorities called the bad friend this time.  The good friend said to the bad friend, “There is no time, just listen to the answers." In answer to the first question you will say, "It was supposed to be in 1952 but it happened in 1971."  In answer to the second question, you will say, "There are many, who should I name?"  In answer to the third question you say, "It is a matter of research."  Now the bad friend went in. The first question the authority asked was, "What year were you born?"  "Supposed to be in 1952, happened in 1971." replied the bad friend.  The authority asked the second question, "What is your father's name?"  The bad friend replied, "There are many, who should I name?"  The authority asked the third question, "Are you crazy?" The bad friend replied, "That's a matter of research."

  1. Fun to read. I get the feeling they are no longer friends. A matter of research?
