Purely Hypocritical

Me and my friends were in the elevator and were headed for the fifth floor. When the lift doors opened, a guy was standing there waiting for the lift and from his demeanour it was evident that he was gay. My friend looked at him went ahead turned back and laughed. By this time the guy was already in the lift and the doors has closed. I asked my friend why he laughed and what was so funny. This was his reply " usko dekhe itna hassi aya gay hai woh ,usko dekh ke hassi nai ayi terko" ( looking at him only I felt an urge to laugh , you did not feel like laughing?)

The Great Indian Jugaad
