Learning English Culture.

An Indian moved to England. His English neighbour decided to call on him to
introduce himself and wish the newcomer welcome.

The Englishman was surprised to see the man from India in his nice backyard
busily absorbed in chasing ten chickens around like mad.

'Must be an Indian custom,' the English man thought to himself. Deciding
not to intrude, he could put off the welcome till a later date and went
home.

The next evening, he decided he should go again to welcome the Indian. This
time, from the street, he saw through the window that the Indian was
urinating into a cup and drinking from it.

'Must be an Indian custom,' he thought to himself deciding again to delay
the welcome by another day.

The third day, he was determined he had to welcome the Indian. From the
gate, he saw the Indian concentrating with his ear pressed hard against a
cow's butt. Starting to be annoyed at this behaviour in the neighbourhood,
he went up to the Indian.

'I'm sorry to disturb you sir. I am your neighbour. I wanted to wish you
welcome but from what I have seen you doing for the last three days I am
not so sure anymore because we don't want such goings-on in our
neighbourhood,' said the Englishman unable to hold his voice from rising.

'Neither I nor the other people living in the neighbourhood will stand for
your crazy Indian customs!' he almost yelled to the Indian's face.

The poor Indian looked absolutely confounded and confused.

He answered, 'Sorry sir, I think you are mistaken. These are actually
English customs. I was told, to be English, you have to... chase CHICKS,
get PISSED DRUNK and listen to BULLSHIT.'
