There are two communities which have the self-confidence to laugh at themselves: Sikhs and Parsis. Of late, Sardarjis have been getting a little touchy, but not the Parsis. A Bawaji (Parsi), has sent me a few samples of Parsi humour: Q:‘What does one call a dead-drunk Parsi?’ A:‘Bejan Daruwala.’ Q:‘What describes a Parsi pimp?’ A:‘Naari Contractor.’ Q:‘What is a Parsi test-tube baby known as?’ A:‘Batliboi.’
