Jimmy nay socha: Horn

Published

If you absolutely abhor someone’s happiness and wish to suck their very sense of peace from their souls, please know, it’s very easy. In fact, you can even kill them without a conviction. Just make them live by a main road in Pakistan. They will age twice as fast, become nasty people and die bitter deaths. If the person in question is a creative artist, the effect will be four times as fast.

Now that I have taken resort in such a place and am stuck there for a while, I beg you to consider before you honk. Your one, becomes a million honks altogether. Since I have been a victim, I actually did some research on honking and it turns out, the big idea was to use it for emergencies! While I understand this country is always on the verge of one, please reconsider. Think of the children, schools, patients, hospitals, offices and abodes of people like yourself. Let’s not intrude in all these places. Trust me, you do when you honk.

Try beaming the person ahead or even better yet just try being a little more patient. You can afford it if you head out a little earlier than usual.
