If
you have not read this riddle at anytime during
the Corona Lockdown on your Facebook timeline, it means you are
practising social distancing even on social media.
Never
before in the history of mankind has a punctuation mark and reading
between the lines been so important.
They
should ban capital punishment, and instead subject the convicts to
such riddles, I will bet you my last Kingfisher share err bottle, the
convict himself will plead the Honourable President for capital
punishment.
One
of these days I want to lose to all those putting this riddle on
their status, and tag all of them in a single post so that Facebook
ensures that I never gets to see this riddle.
All
said and done, it is not extinct, this COVID-19 oops this riddle. Let
me come to the point, how are we going to overcome COVID-19, err. How
to ensure that this riddle is removed off Facebook. That
was a bad joke but not as epic as this riddle.
Have
you ever wondered, what if a person is really named `What”. What
will be his problems dealing with such a name? But
What to do, all that you can think about is to defeat your
friends and family
by exploiting
the
clever use of punctuation marks in
the sentence `What is the name of the fourth son”.
This, is
the story of Someone’s Mother’s Fourth Son, Mr. What. He
was aware how much turmoil his name was causing on social media. He
often lead an anonymous life to avoid abuses from those who lost the
contest trying
to guess that What was his name.
Mr.
What once went to a city on his business, don’t ask what business.
He
had his booking in an undisclosed hotel. The name of the hotel was
not disclosed at the request of its ex-owners. When
he reached the hotel, the name of the hotel shocked him. It was `
Hotel North, South, and East But We Don’t Know What Is The Name Of
The Fourth Son?’. Mr. What knew what was the problem, and what were
the reasons why the ex-owners had asked that the name of the hotel
should not be disclosed to him. By
Providence, there was only one `King Suite’ in the hotel, and he
had booked it.
He
tried to be diplomatic, went inside, and asked the receptionist `
Miss Whatever your name is, What number of King Suites you have in
your hotel?’
Receptionist
`Of What concern is that to you?”
`What
is the harm in telling me’
`One’
`Ok,
I have a booking of that for one week’
Receptionist
in a vengeful tone `What is your name!’
`What
is my name’
`Mr,
does COVID -19 affect brains, I am very serious , What is your name?’
`I
solemnly affirm that, What is my name’
Receptionist
` Ok, show me your Citizens ID’
Mr.What
shows his Citizens ID, and it is clearly written, Name: What, Mother
Name: Someone’s Mother.
The
receptionist lifts her head, gnashing his teeth like a `B-grade
Bollywood Villain of the 70’s and
asks `Are you that What!!! I have lost two
times because of you to my friends, and from the hotel owner, I have
become its receptionist’
`How
could you lose twice
on the same riddle?’
`It
is because of your mistake’
Mr
What `What? I cannot believe it. Whatever it is give me the room
keys’
`Mr.
What, you know what you will not get what you want’
`What
do you mean, I have booked it well in advance, and paid for it
through Whatsapp’
The
receptionist, this time managing the look of Dracula, from Ramsay
Brothers movie replied `Sure, you will get what you deserve, Mr What’
`Ok,
What is the check out timings?’
`You
have already been checked out, and now get out’
Mr
What walked out of the hotel, and he could hear the receptionist
lamenting `What I was, What have I become just because I could not
what was the name of the fourth son’
Mr
What went to another hotel, stayed there, and came back to his home
town.
What
&
The Bulb
After
many weeks, One day, Mr What went to buy a LED bulb. He went to the
shop, and asked the guy at the counter `Give me three LED bulbs for a
mid-sized living room’
Guy
at the counter `What is the size of the room’
Mr
What `Did you use a full stop or a question mark at the end of room?’
The
counter guy never knew the importance of punctuation marks, and
replied `It was a full stop’
Mr
What replied `What is my name, it is not the size of my living room.’
The
shopkeeper with raised eyebrows asked `Are you the descendant of Mr.
James Watt?’
`No
but I am equally famous on the social media because of a riddle in my
name’
The
face of the guy at the counter turned red, just like the Bollywood
Hero of 80’s to whom the name of the killers of his parents have
been revealed, and he enquired in a menacing tone `Are you that
What?’
`Yee...sss,
but what do you know about that What?’
`Not
much except that because of that riddle having your name, my sister
from a hotel owner became its receptionist’
`What
is my fault if she loses two times on the same riddle, that too her
property’
`You
should have notified that you have changed
your changed name back to What’
`But
how do you know that I changed my name from What’
`My
brother-in-law worked in the Citizens ID Department’
`I
did once but the social media would not accept it because they would
lose their most favourite riddle to which most of their friends lost.
They
made a public petition online, and compelled me to change my name
back to Mr What. Tell me, What prevented your brother-in-law from
informing you that I have changed my name back to What’
`What
to say, he had divorced my sister by then agitated at her lack of
intelligence’
`and
because My Sister didn’t know this, she again gave the wrong
answer, lost her hotel and became its receptionist’
`Can
I have the bulbs?’
`I
can give you but on your head, get lost’
Mr.
What finally bought it online.
Mr
What has requested Netizens through me to have some sympathy on him,
and stop this riddle online or else he will authorise me to post
more of his What Adventures. The
choice is yours, What is your choice ? Or ! Or .
