Three friends – Sane, Psycho and Silent Observer (how they became friends, I don’t know!) were at Irrelevant’s birthday party. They were having the following conversation….

Psycho: So when is Prabjot coming?

Sane: [thinking about it…] Prabjot….Prab…wait, who? Who’s Prabjot?

Psycho: Dude prabjot! You know Prabjot!

Sane: [blank face]

Psycho: Prabjot! The guy we met at the mall the other day?! You were telling me about him just a couple of days back!

Sane: [comprehension has not yet dawned]

Psycho: he’s your friend’s boyfriend! I know you know him! Stop pretending!

Sane:[ comprehension finally dawns] hahahaha….oh god!...do you mean Prateek? As in Anusha’s boyfriend Prateek?..Hahahahaha….I can’t believe you called him Prabjot!

Silent Observer: [breaking her silence] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……Prabjot! HAHAHAHAHA….why would you remember Prateek as Prabjot?! The 2 names don’t sound even remotely similar! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…

Psycho: [gets touchy] Stop laughing both of you! It was an honest mistake!!...I just mixed up his name…stop making fun of me!

20 uneventful minutes pass by during which Prateek arrives. He greets both Sane and Psycho. Small talk follows after which he settles down on the couch beside us.

Psycho: [leans over to Sane and whispers] So when is Prabjot coming?

Sane: [looks at Psycho with a mixture of amusement and exasperation] THERE IS NO PRABJOT!!!

Silent Observer: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA………..
