'Off-ense' of Humor



Well one of the side effects of being a science student is that some such people inadvertently lose a very basic part of their sense of humor off and on, as if suffering from fits. Take this as an example.

The other day I came across the Parkinson's Law. Just in case you don't know, it is yet another law in the league of Murphy's law and equally delightful, and true. Being a human, and thus in some part, an altruist, I was bent on sharing it with a friend of mine who happens to be at the receiving end of this post. This is the way the dialog went:

Rohit Nagpal (my not-so-fortunate friend) was busy with a question while suckling a pen when I suddenly sallied him.

"Hey Rohit. listen to this. Do you know about the Parkinson's law?"

He gives me a rabbit like dreamy look and then turning his attention back to the problem muttered:

"Is it an extension built on any of the Thermodynamic laws?"

Undeterred, I recited "Parkinson's law states that any work always expands so as to fill all the time alloted for its completion." following which I desperately brightened my eyes, made my grin conspicuously wide and gave him every hint humanely possible that he was supposed to laugh. He lifted his eyes and squinted them hard, and exclaimed, "What?"

That came as a surprise. "Umm... Parkinson's law states that any work always expands so as to fill all the time alloted for its completion..."

The same stare into space and bewildered look.

"It means that if you have to do something and have a deadline to meet, then the work continues at least to the very end."

"Oh... that.... (a hardly noticeable forced chuckle) ... I was .... (a more natural giggle) .... You know, you should warn people before telling jokes."

"Huh...?"

"Well, to tell the truth, when you told me about the law, I thought that Work does not expand, it is Volume that expands and then ΔW*Δt ... (blah ... blah) ... and ... (blah .. blah) .."

;)

Musically yours,
Ut.
