The original incident: [Link]
A Singapore national by the name of Chuk Lay Hoon was detailed at Indira Gandhi International Airport and suspected of carrying explosives inside bottles of honey. The security people made him drink 10% from one bottle and even after that refused to let him carry the bottles causing much heartburn all around.
Now the Poor Joke that this inspired.
Security guard 1: Ai ! What is this in these jars? Yeh machine to bol raha hain explosive
Security guard 2: Likha to hain honey….
Security guard 1: Don’t believe it. Usko woh honey chukne ko bol humare saamne. Agar bach gya to theek hain.
Security guard 2 (to puzzled passenger): Chal. Chuk le.
Man (not understanding—thinking they are saying his name): No No. Not Chuk Le. Chuk Lay Hoon.
Security guard 1: Abhe. Bol raha hain ki “chuk liya hoon”. Abhi chuk ke dikha. Yahaan pe. Here here
Next month’s PJ: Same joke but with the man’s name as Bum Sook Li and the security guards in search for hidden contraband material .
How about Missile Khan next time ?

Hi Arnab,
I agree with Manu; not of the Greatbong quality we admire.
But then that is why this is a ‘poor’ joke. Otherwise, it would have been a ‘rich’ joke, right?
Cheers,

From the article :
“In this particular case, there is also a strong chance that the screener did spot explosives but accidentally isolated the wrong bag”
Does this mean the actual bag containing the explosives was let out?
Very scary
Looks like watching all those mithun-da movies has finally got to him.
Get well soon.

Commenting because I am from Singapore. Off to google Singaporean papers. I wonder what happened to the 4 bottles?
Thank you for the PJ. I used to have a colleague of East Asian origin called Yong Bum Kin. I hope he is not reading your blog, so please write a PJ next month satirising that name.
