I attended the silver jubliee of ordinatiion of Goan priest in Mumbai. After the mass there was small reception. Fr. Bosco Pereira, from Don Bosco's Borivili, well known for his humourous toasts was the MC. Here is one joke he cracked on himself.....Fr. Bosco in his own words:
"You know I am a goan, I was born in a Goa. You know my parents did not name me after the Saint John Bosco..but here it is how I was named Bosco When my mother was pregnant many of our neighbours and villagers came to see my mother. My father was rich, so he had many servants to do the house work..so my mai was not allowed to do any house work...and given complete rest..but she used to get fed up, so everytime a neighbour came to see her she used to make them sit for long n tell them khobro. Whenever they tried to make a move.. she would say...Agho BOS GHO, BOS GHO(sit down, sit down)....she used this word so often that my father deceided to name me BOSCO." ++++++++++++++++++ A Niz Goemcar just returned from Saudi, drove to the garage in his maruti to change the battery.... The mechanic asked him.. Mechanic: Patrao Exide galum? Niz: Ani dusri side..tuzo pai ghaltolo? Edward Verdes Chinchinim/Jeddah
