Jerold

There was once a man named Jerold
The pessimistic bachelor he was called
For though he had not a care
When asked to let down his hair
He groaned, "If only I wasn't so totally bald..."

10 things you must know if you're a road user in Bangalore

#1. Zebra crossings are for zebras. People will cross 1 cm in front of whatever you're driving.

#2. Autorickshaws are 3 wheelers whose sole purpose of existence is to get in your way.

#3. All cyclists suffer from bipolar disorder. In their manic phase, they will chase buses. In their depressive phase, they will suddenly get off the cycle, carry it, and walk.

#4. When you see a bus in your rearview mirror, pray.

#5. When you see a pothole in front of you, honk - it might move.

#6. Do not swear. Share. You have as much right to the road as the holy cow.

#7. The light will always turn red when you're approaching it at 80 km/h.

#8. A truck's brake will only work after it has hit the object in front of it.

#9. Always tank up. The road you took to work in the morning will turn one-way by the time you return in the evening.

#10. Do not mess with traffic cops. They are from Mars.
