"Bol mere Laal"
Bunty is reading a daily newspaper, Mungerilal walks into the room....
Mungerilal: "Bunty Beta.....what's up? What are you reading?"
Bunty: "Papa...Just some local news. Look here... Papa! Tomorrow is the World Piles Day & our neighbourhood hospital has free check-up facility."
Mungerilal: "So what?"
Bunty: "I feel you should get yourself examined well."
Mungerilal: ". ... "
Bunty: "... if you don't have Piles, then you are a PERFECT A**HOLE."
Mungerilal: " ..Bh#$%#... "

"Bol mere Laal"
Bunty: "Papa...what does it mean when that fundamental analyst uncle say: 'that stock idea is a no-brainer?' "
Mungerilal: "Bunty, no-brainer implies 'anything that requires little thought'. So he wants to say that the stock idea is so good that one needn't apply brains."
Bunty: "Hmmm...the way you 'invest' Papa, based on Tips & chats is also 'no-brainer' activity, isn't it?"
Mungerilal: " ..Bh#$%#... "

Bunty: "Papa...Papa....look at that breaking news! Advance Tax Numbers Are Pretty Robust! "
Mungerilal: "Bunty, It's of no use to me. I was long based on that & SL got triggered."
Bunty: "Hmmm...It's no wonder then why they call the numbers RoBUST"
Mungerilal: " ..Bh#$%#... "

"Bol mere Laal"
Bunty: "Papa...what do those experts mean when they talk of Opportunity Cost while churning the portfolio?"
Mungerilal: "Bunty Beta....it means that if you find other stock better than the one you are holding, implying superior returns then it's your opportunity cost."
Bunty: "Hmmm....tell me Papa....is this opportunity cost emotion same when you stare at other women at shopping malls?"
Mungerilal: " ...Bh#$%#... "
