I love Raj Singh's contributions to Humour [I like British orthography here: humor sounds too pedestrian!] Raj has stimulated my own thinking about the Punjabi language. I am a proud Sikh convert who has committed many errors in trying to speak Punjabi. I humbly submit two items: 1. My name is Fateh Singh Tarney [Tarney is my original surname] - therefore, I better know how to swim! 2. Mispronouncing "pudinaa chutney" can give you gas!

Benti Hai! Afsos! Maaf Karna! I cannot resist a follow-up to my last missive! As a Gora Sardar struggling to become fluent in Punjabi, my mistakes have been many! In a rehearsal for negotiations with Punjabi shopkeepers, I was determined to learn how to say "Bahut Mahinga!" In reality, I got nervous and said "Bahut Nanga!" My wife, a lovely Gori lady, was pouring tea for me outside the Diwan Hall at our Gurdwara Sahib. I said "Bass" She looked up at the parking lot, but kept pouring. "I donâ see a bus!" Three of my fingers were scalded.

Today, I was helping a Sardar friend of mine and his family loading their truck for their move to Atlanta, Georgia. They showed me some photos of their beautiful new home in the back of which is a lovely lake. His wife mentioned that there are ducks and swans on the lake. My commitment to Punjabi practice compelled me to say, "I'd like to see mor there!" My friend asked, "More of what?" I, of course, responded, "Peacocks!"

These are great. The whole family loves them. Give us more. Here's one from my son, "What did one milk carton say to another? What's up, doodh?"
