Good sides of living in Bangladesh
· You can protest anything and everything of the Government (But there is no one to listen) without getting any problem from the ruling party activists.
· You can pee anywhere you like.
· You can break every kind of traffic law (if there exists any).
· You can sound the car horn as much as you like on the road. You will stop after getting tired but on one will complain.
· You can offer bribe to everybody.
· You can do any crime you like and get away with it.
· You can escape paying government tax.
· You can get paid without working at the government office.
· You can illegally occupy government land and then illegally legalize that land and feel proud for being owner of the land.
· You can bargain on the price of anything at any shop. (Customer: “How much is it?” Seller: “700taka” Customer: “How about 50?”
· You can spend ½ the year on vacation thanks to strikes, religious festivals of the Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Buddhists, Mujib day, Zia day, freedom fighter’s day, language day, liberation day, victory day and so on.
· You can enjoy the natural beauty of night everyday. The beautiful while moon. The cool breeze of the wind. Ahh… How wonderful. (That’s why the electricity goes every night here.)
· You won’t have to pay parking fees anywhere (but your car can at any time come under attack of the picketers without any warning).
· You won’t have to calculate time all the time. You will get it in huge amount here. Time is not invaluable in this country. It is valueless here.
· You won’t feel the necessity of a racing car. Because rickshaw, bus truck, racing car all runs at the same speed here. Aha… this is called real equality.
· You won’t have to go to a gym or to have morning walk everyday; just a 15-minute bus journey will give you proper exercise thanks to all those potholes we have in our ever-constructing roads.
· And most importantly you won’t have to vote Mr. Bush.
