Old man and the police
One old man found it extremely difficult to drive his car during night time due to the glaring head lights of the new cars, fitted with halogen bulbs. So he tried all tricks but nothing worked. He was a miser never to spend on any personal comforts. Some of his friends suggested him to use the anti glare specks which the cricket players use at night. Our miser old man went to buy one but the cost was beyond his reach. So he went for an anti glare local made speck. After lots of bargaining it was fixed at $10, but as bad luck would have it that too did not solve his problem. Lastly he got fed up and purchased a road side goggles for rupees 150 and started using it which worked.
One fine evening when he was waiting at the traffic light one traffic inspector asked him
“Why are you wearing those dark glasses at night?”
Our old friend said “you see no one uses the dipper plus each car has halogen bulbs, to protect my eyes I am wearing them.”
“But you can’t wear them as per rules”
“I have no problem in seeing the road, as the glass shed is light”
“Let me see, after wearing it he coolly kept it in his shirt pocket.
“Give it back”
“Push off, the lights have turned green”
The old man noticed the same police man wearing his goggles was standing in the hot sun.
Both looked at each other and smiled a bit, the cars rolled on.
