Irfan Hussain on The Co Chairman of the Handwritten Will
STOP me if you’ve heard this one: a Sikh was on a flight, with a parrot on the other side of the aisle. He noticed that every time a certain pretty hostess walked past, the bird would whistle appreciatively. The girl would give the parrot a dirty look, but nothing else happened.
The last straw was when she was nipped by the bird while passing by. She stormed into the cockpit and complained loudly about the lewd passenger. The captain said there was little he could do, and asked her to put up with the bird’s behaviour until they had landed.
The next time she walked past, the Sikh got into the act, and pinched her. This time, she blew up and threatened to resign if the captain took no action. ‘OK,’ he replied. ‘Throw them both out of the plane.’ As the two fell from 30,000 feet, the parrot asked the Sikh: ‘Sardar Ji, can you fly?’ When the panic-stricken man said no, the bird unfurled his wings and asked: ‘Then why did you take a punga with the hostess?’
