Humour: Cocktail at police station

 

 

It is reported that a cocktail party took place at a police station. Police are wondering how did this news leak? Who did it? Thank God there is no CCTV in the Police station premises. It may have been leaked by someone who was not invited. This certainly was not the first party of its kind at Police station? In English films policemen bosses drink fondly in their chamber. Generally, with Police stations in India there is a rickety canteen. What do you think these canteens serve only tea/coffee? Then you are unaware of what is actually sold in those juice corners.

 

In a metro city, when policemen strictly warned these juice-sellers not to sell anything but juice and juice alone. "From now on, you will only sell juice and if someone is seen facilitating mixing of alcohol in choicest juice, action will be taken against them. Juice stall owners protested in one voice few come for pure juice to us, they come with their own alcohol and insist to mix it in their juice before they head back to their respective residences in the evening. If Police holds us responsible for customers lacing their juice with alcohol and threatens to close our stall, it might well be closed, as their ‘sale’ will be adversely affected.

 

We Indians are fussy people. They have no idea how much pressure Police in India has to withstand. If poor policemen have a sip or two why this ruckus? If we don’t drink alcohol, how would we know difference between genuine alcohol and spurious one. Also, through our drinking we try to fathom various dimensions of this alcohol business. Brother! Alcohol is gift to us by the almighty, we human beings are also creation of the same almighty.

 

After a tedious day-long functioning, a peg or two will not hurt anyone. You expect efficiency like America, but that cannot be obtained on lassi or lemonade. We are big hypocrites. 

There are so many reasons for drinking. Alcohol helps in good sleep, it relieves fatigue, it gives energy, it enhances courage, you eat well, it creates a social circle, it helps in befriending people. 

 

Alcohol is favourite of the Brigadiers/General/ great poets/intellectuals. Someone defined three x rum. Three X=30 days, Rum = Regular Use Medicine. The scriptures are full of praise of Somaras. In short, it is divine, Mind You!
