dervish nudged him and asked, "And what do you do, my friend and this guru of yours?"
The sannyasin replied casually, "Oh, we drink the wine and break the bottles."
The third question:
Question 3
OSHO,
I AM MICHAEL POTATO-SINGH WHO WROTE TO YOU FROM AMRITSAR. I HAVE ARRIVED NOW. HERE ARE A FEW OF MY QUESTIONS.
This place is really becoming more and more beautiful!
You are welcome, Michael Potato-Singh. Reverend Banana is here. You have come, and I hope your friend Michael Tomato, who wrote to me from Bangalore, will be also coming soon.
It seems that Michael Potato and Michael Tomato are not two persons. Their handwriting is exactly alike. If it is a joke, it is beautiful. I love jokes. But it may not be a joke, it may be a serious affair. You may be a split personality, you may be a schizophrenic -- one day Michael Potato, another day Michael Tomato. And who knows what else you are going to reveal to us in future!
But anyway, my sannyasins are all vegetarians. We need all the potatoes and tomatoes and the bananas. So please remain here, and call all your friends also. We are not cannibals -- pure vegetarians. So we will eat only that part of you -- the cabbage part, the cauliflower part, the banana part. I don't think that there is anybody here like Idi Amin who would like to eat you totally.
I have heard:
Idi Amin was on an airplane flight, and the air hostess brought the menu. He looked at the menu, threw it away, and said, "Please bring me the passenger list."
It is good that you were not there. In fact, I myself like potato chips once in a while. Good that you have arrived. You are welcome.
Michael Potato's first question is: DO YOU KNOW WHY THE JEWS ARE ANGRY WITH MOSES?
I have been a Jew in my past life, so I know. They are angry because if Moses had taken a left instead of right, they would have had the oil.
And Michael Potato asks -- second question:
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT STORKS DO ON THEIR DAYS OFF?
Yes, Michael Potato. I am tremendously interested in such metaphysical questions... They circle around the convents and make the nuns nervous.
