The All-knowing!

:biglaugh:rotfl:biglaugh!
Der Sri Sir
Before I comment on your article, I read your response to ILT's "LOLing" where you had mentioned no one laughs like the green guy above hitting his hand on the floor!
Well I must disagree to a bit..my younger son used to sit very close to me when he was in elementary school while watching cartoons, and would hit his hand on me fast, just like this green fella, and laugh his head off! Very painful for me but I put up with it enjoying his enjoyment with sheer joy!

Coming back to the article: That was hilarious! You already know about that by now I am sure.
I realized how true it was everything you said; there are so many folks like them. "I thought so"...folks and only when things go wrong!
I will start observing these folks more in detail from now on and I am sure I will recall this article many times in my years to come.

 

Nice to see somebody who picks unconventional topic and gives a humourous insight to it Pls keep writing.
I am sure most ppl would have met such "know-alls" in their lives. I guess they are just 100% pessimists who wait for responding to such events they are not vicious or mean harm to other people

 

Dear Sri:

Thus spake the wise owl! And spake very truly, correctly, etc. etc. etc. Of course, we all have met people such as these, but not one who would connect himself with the Rajiv Gandhi assasination. It was quite funny you know, though the assasination wasn't. The story was, like bone china, true Cheeniya. Enjoyed every bit of it and prayed to God that even at this late age he could do me a favour by transferring your writing skills to me along with your popularity. And I don't mind if he gave you in exchange my own shortcomings. Prizes should be shared, not monopolized like yours.

I am unable to remember interesting episodes surrounding the all-knowings I came across. So let me digress to another category of individuals. The "always right"-wallahs. I had a friend who, whenever told "You know, I think you were right the other day", would immediately respond by saying, "I am always right."

So, one day I tried out a non-vegetarian trick on him when we were both students in the US. It was my turn to cook dinner and I had, much against his desire, purchased rabit meat one day. He declared that he wouldn't touch anything other than chicken. And I insisted that I would touch everything including chicken, but excluding humans. (I mean, I didn't mean I wouldn't touch pretty girls. All I said was that I wouldn't cook and eat them. So don't get me wrong.) We purchased the rabit (I paid for it of course, since he wouldn't eat)and kept it in the refrigerator. He too reminded me everyday that I alone would have to eat it or share it with other rabit touchers.

Then, on a fateful day when it was my turn to cook dinner, I cooked the rabit while he was away from at school. I ate my dinner and left a share for his consumption (should he wish to consume) when he came back home. He looked at the dish and remarked, "This chicken looks good!" I didn't reply, just smiled shyly. After all you don't brag about your own cooking, or do you? He sat down and ate up the whole thing and ended up licking his fingers. "You should have left some more for me," he accused. Probably he was right. I knew he didn't want to eat the stuff and was mentally prepared to tell him if he didn't want to eat it, he should just cook himself dinner. So, I might have eaten too much, assuming he would never touch it.

Anyway, after the eating was over, I told him that it was rabit that he had eaten. He didn't believe me, especially after praising the quality of the food. He peeped into the refrigerator and found the rabit gone. I could have told him, "You are not always right, are you?" But I refrained from going in that direction. Not that he ate rabit again after this event. Also, I was aware that I had been pretty mean in deceiving him, but I was around 23 at the time and can probably be forgiven for my mischief. After all, I didn't make a vegetarian eat non-vegetarian food did I? And if you feel it is cruel to eat an animal as innocent and lovely as a rabit, then I will say that a chicken or a goat looks equally helpless, lovely and innocent to me.

By the way, this reminds me. My son drew my attention to articles on the internet that argue that human beings are not natural carnivores. Since one is not supposed to put up links to other sites here, I am not doing so. But you can just google the question: Are humans natural carnivores? You will get the scientific answers arguing that they are not. May be you know already.

This question is very relevant to what navs23 had to say on my post on Prometheus. I have removed most of the second part, since there are few readers who are interested in reading it. But it's not my intention this time to stop visiting IL. I can always be humble enough and write comments on others' posts. Of course, I can also put up my own when something suitable comes to my mind. Assuming that I succeed in this task.

I digressed too much I know, but I had to talk to somebody who would read I guess. Also, I am wondering what, after reading the last paragraph, the wise owl will itself come up with.

For example, could the owl say, "I knew this would happen" ?? :rotfl

Don't even try. For I will then respond, "I knew you would say this and I am always right."

Regards.

Sir,

I knew it. There was a humorous article lurking about in this section, waiting to be read, which I had missed. See, this time round I had a premonition of something good.

Why do these people not tell us before the event????? Do you think people would leave these nay sayers, these negative people alive to witness the event if they did?

 

Cheeniya sir, that would be the best thing that happened after I joined IL, and I could take the credit for being the trigger. I have written evidence in the form of your reply above before I have even achieved the results.

 

Dear Sri Sir,
That's a hilarious post, hilarious to read, but annoying(situation) to be in
It becomes all the more funny, when too many 'I knew its' come up with 'I told you so', as goes the saying 'too many cooks spoil the broth', too many ideas/free advice(telling so) will also mess up things, one should make note of who said what and hold them accountable
I have come across the so called 'kari nakku' too and have tried making them utter good things(for whatever a karinakku person says comes true is the belief right), nothing really happened. Had it been true, that person would make a fortune just by uttering what people wish for :bonk
