Thumb - Letter - Trap !

The kind of ridiculous beliefs that people have can sometimes get onto your nerves, but there are times, when they can be extremely amusing. Especially if they're being discussed in a group. They're the kind that could bug you to your bones when mentioned by someone like your grandmother, but can make you laugh no end when mentioned by a peer. One such thing is what i'd very truthfully like to call -'The thumb-letter-trap'. There is a higher probablity that girls have heard about this, and have done a thorough check up of their friends' thumbs! For those guys who still dwell in the vacuoles of darkness, here's what it is.

Apparently nature has a way of letting girls know something about their future spouses ( i was thinking its spouse and spice, like mouse n mice or something!). Something that neither a crystal ball, nor the 'jakkamma jaathagam' paati who tries to cunningly get you to show her your palm in marina/besi beach... with this huge pottu on her forehead and something that looks like a chapatti rolling pin in her hand nor the josiar (astrologer) staying in some dumpy old room in a painfully far away corner of the city can tell you! That being... the letter the 'man''s name starts with! Can you beat that. Ridiculous though it may sound, it can be an essentially entertaining time pass to a group of girls who are quite bored, and are crazy enough to make each other drunken with the craziness.

The task of hunting down THE letter between the intricate lines on my left thumb was taken up by 2 friends...Quite a search it turned out to be! From previous experience, it has been discovered that the letter 'H' notoriously appears on every girl's thumb, and thus, the letter H was very conviniently ignored.(H guys, i feel sorry for u!) Any letter beside H would be THE one! After a few minutes of examination, they both came to the conclusion that the letter to which my fate was tied was 'Y'! Sad, but true! Any guys with a name starting from Y? That was the next thing to think about... difficult! After a series of words like Yamma, Yappa, Yes, Yorker, Yorkshire, Yellow, Yogibear,Yuck, Young, Yesterday, Yttrium and other very amusing words, we settled for real names...
The proper names

• YASSAR ARAFAT! (well, am not realy interested in politicians, so OUT!)
• Yuvraj ( he'll be married by the time i decide on marriage, thus, OUT.plus, am not too fond of punjabis)
• Yash (Well, that went back to yash raichand of karan johar's K3G - too old for me ;-))
• Yunis (aah pakistani bowler... am sure he's already married. Am not for breakin happy marriages!)
• Yadav (He happened to be my friend's watchman... well, NO!)
• Yogesh (Name sounds terrible, OUT!)
• Yogendran/Yoganadan (Sounds like a saamiyaar....AAAAAAH)
• Yoshimo (or some kinda crap like that which was a japanese name...Snails not my type of cuisine - reject!)
• Yeman ( i don think am for marryin lord of death n all ;-)!)

Well i guess thats it... but i think they missed one name that just struck me now - YOKOZUNA!(of wrestling fame) Lol...and i am DEFINITELY not ok with him...
Which brings us to the conclusion that there are probablities that am not ever goin to get married ;-) Unless you guys could suggest more Y names ;-)!! Pl do!

NOTE - This has been tested on married women.I personally did it... and well, its turned out right!!!!! So, BEWARE!

UPDATE18/6/06 - Dearest appa... and all the other dads in the world - HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! You're the best!

Yours 'why am i stuck with y'ly
