The phone rang in the obituary department of the local newspaper.
'How much does it cost to have an obituary printed'? asked miser Ah Neh.
'It's 50 Rupees a word, sir,' the clerk replied politely.
'Fine,' said Ah Neh after a moment. 'Okay then, write this down: 'Banta - dead'.'
'That's all?' asked the clerk disbelievingly.
'That's it.'
'I'm sorry sir, I should have told you - there's a five word minimum.'
'Yes, you should've,' snapped the Ah Neh. Now let me think a minute... okay, here goes: Banta dead. Maruti for Sale.'
