THE PASSAGE TO INDIA

The Thais have perfected the art of the Massage
> There are also special rates for Sex Massage.
In my day and time, which was just over 20 years ago, an evening stroll
along the pavement outside one's downtown Bangkok hotel, invariably
invited three rapid-fire entreaties from cabbies parked alongside...
1. Sir, do you want woman?
(to which one was trained to reply, *No, thanks, I'm tired!*)
2. You want massage?
(one just nodded sideways)
3. You want the f*ing show??
(my goan curiosity couldn't resist this one after a couple of evenings on
the Bangkok pavements ... and it turned out to be as enjoyable an
experience as the *Tiffany Show* at Pattaya, acrobatics and all.)
During the next visit, my Goan curiosity again, took me to *Mona Lisa*
(is it still around?) for the famed Thai *massage.*
*Which one, Sir,* the marshall with the walkie-talkie sought to know ...
.... *Sponge,* *Brush* or *Sandwich?*
Dumbheads that we then were, my friends and I literally fled when told
of the mechanics of the famed Bangkok massages !!

Thanks for the tip, mate!

.. Again India can learn from the Thais --- money
for money, tourists would prefer a massage any time to a lesson in yoga.
Hunh??
