Lehna Jokes / Recent Jokes
Subedar Lehna Singh and Subedar Imamdin were in the same regiment in the British Indian Army. They were inseparable friends and spent their evenings drinking together. The partition separated them as Subedar Imamdin was absorbed in the Pakistan Army.
To keep his friend's memory alive Subedar Lehna Singh always filled two glasses with rum and water and sipped from each alternately!
When somebody asked him why he did so, he explained:' This glass is Imamdin's; this one is mine. So I take a sip from each - one on behalf of Imamdin, the other for myself.'
Suddenly one evening Subedar Lehna Singh was seen with only one glass on his table. He was asked what had happened. He replied,' You see, I have given up drinking but Imamdin has not. So I have put away my glass and drink only on behalf of my friend.'
Lehna bought a brand new Maruti and decided to drive down from Amritsar, where he lived, to Jalandhar to meet his friend.
He reached Jalandhar in a few hours. After spending a few days there, he decided to return, and called up his mother to expect him in the evening. But he didn't reach Amritsar that evening and not even the next day. When he finally reached home on the third day, his distraught mother ran out, hugged him and asked,' Arre puttar, ki hoya?'
Lehna got out, obviously very tired from a long journey, and said,' Oy, ye Mrutti wale pagal hain, agge janne waaste chaar gear banaate hain, aur pichche jaan waaste sirf ik.' (These Maruti-makers are. crazy: they make four gears to go forward, but only one to go backward.)
