On the way back from bowling, where I got a ride with Shuaib and Sushmita, we were going north on Warden Avenue when out of nowhere this red Mustang emerged, from a parking lot onto the main road, completely swerving and cutting us off. I think Shuaib literally fell on the horn - it was a prolonged, loud, series of blasts.
The brake lights of the Mustang lit up, and the driver's door opened. Oho! Churir upor shina juri! The guy wanted a piece of us, eh! Shuaib got out as well. And since I was the other guy in the car, I had to get out too. Not that I think Shuaib needed any help - he used to work as a part time bouncer for night clubs in our college days - I was there to stop any fights.
The driver of the Mustang was an Indian guy, our age, with his jeans pulled way up, hair combed back, covered with either gel or Dabur Amla, red pullover, sunglasses on (even though it was 10 pm). In other words, a Hero Hiralal wannabe. He started to shout at Shuaib, who also started to shout back.
Then the door on the passenger side of the Mustang opened. And this woman stepped out. And we stopped arguing. For a moment. She was a really good looking woman. Really hot. Traffic stopper. And she was with this guy? My (unproven) theory was that the guy is a cousin who had come to visit Toronto and she has to show him around.
Anyways, now that the hot woman is on the scene, the Mustang dude decided he had to appear macho. So he stepped forward, clenched his fist, extended a finger out and yelled "Ya, so F*** you!", and repeated the action for good measure.
Except, the finger he extended was his index finger.
Shuaib looked at me, pointed with his index finger, and uttered "F*** you????" I pointed back at him. And we both started to laugh. The guy now appeared completely puzzled, so he "pointed" at us again and swore. And we burst out laughing again. And then his cousin/girlfriend/hot lady joined in! She didn't want to, she was trying to stop herself, but it was funny! And the more she tried to stop, the more she burst out laughing.
Oh it was bad for him. I almost fell sorry for the guy. We were still laughing as we headed back to our car and drove off.
Moral of the story: If you are new to Canada and want to swear, learn the gesture first. Not to mention it's rude.

I like the picture. It really brings out the hilarity of the situation...lol
LOL, you have a gift for finding humor and polishing it for all to amuse themselves in :)
This comment is regard to the post you made about your cousin going to Hajj five times a row.
Actually it's more of a question. I have heard that there is a five year rule regarding that, as in a person can only go every five years. Does this rule only apply to certain countries then?

Sounds like a big time nerd. You see this here in the Metro DC area a lot. Guy is an engineer or something, was the nerd at Uni, now he makes $150,000 a year and doesnt know what to do with it.
Try to look cool? It fails, but the fact that he has money means some girl, often hot, is going to latch onto him to milk him for what he is worth.
Me and the wife were at the mall the other night and saw this perfectly. Wannabe GQ Indian guy, but still looks like a nerd, with a white lady that could win any beauty contest. I bet they never sold that as an advantage to being an engineering make that much money!
@Behbood: Other than Hindi film songs where stars wear sunglasses inside a dark disco, I don't think I ever saw any guy before with sunglasses at 10 pm!
@Anisa, Aisha: Thanks for the comments.
@Shabina: Thanks for the comments. Microsoft paint to the rescue.

@Nadia: I think it only applies to local in Saudi.
