SARDARJI, SINDHI, AUR GADDI JALTI NAHIN!

Our Sardarji, Shabru Singh from San Francisco, disembarks at LAX and goes to rent a car. Walks into first car-rental agency he sees, and a Sindhi is behind the counter.

After some haggling, the Sindhi smoothly promises him the best deal ("very special Desi discount, Ji!"), and he goes to the lot to drive away the rental car.


It doesn't start. It won't start. It absolutely fails to start - "Yeh bladdy gaddi jalti nahin, dammit!"


After twenty minutes of fruitless trying, he goes back to the office to complain.
"But Ji", says the Sindhi, "how advantageous, indeed!".
"How so?" asks the Sardarji.
"Dekkhe, aap", says the Sindhi, "you're paying fifteen bucks a day for the car, right?"

"Yes"
"Well then, parking at the airport costs forty dollars a day, all-same downtown, so you're saving twenty five dollars. Just park here until you're ready to leave, and return the keys - think of how much you'll save!"


Shabru Singh, after thinking about it for a while, agrees.
