Overheard in the street

Jesus Saves

Lady with a "Jesus Saves" placard in front of a coffee shop* in Amsterdam.

"Remember ... it is Jesus's blood which cleanses us of our sin. Not the smoke from the coffee shops"

* coffee shop - popular name for authorized shops & cafes which sell legalized soft drugs in Amsterdam.

That's why people call this the Red Light District

A frustrated bicyclist at a traffic junction near the Dam Square: "This is the third red traffic signal that I have encountered within 100 metres"

Another bicyclist: "Thats why this place is called the red light district"

(Dam Square is the most touristic square in Amsterdam and it is less than 5 minutes by walk from Amsterdam's world famous red light district)

Lets go OUT someday

"After my father just came to Amsterdam, he was driving on the A10 ring road and after every few metres he would see a signboard with the letters 'UIT'. And he thought Uit must be the name of some big city in Netherlands.

He wanted to go and see this special city called UIT. 

A few days later, he learnt that UIT is the dutch word for OUT or exit from the ring road"

Birds are vegetarians - but animals and fishes are not

"When I told my father that they just ate vegetarian food in the place that I lived in India, my father was stupefied. 

He was even surprised that they did not eat chicken. 

He said 'Chicken are birds. They are not animals - how can they be considered non-vegetarian !!!"

Dont discriminate

A: So, being a non-vegetarian from India, do you eat every kind of meat, or are you very selective ?

B: I don't want the animals to feel discriminated.

A: And therefore you eat everything :-O
