Free Mania

Like common table salt, sense of humour is the basic need in our daily lives. Here is an instance of mixing both. Today morning I bought a packet of Annapurna brand salt and gave it to him and went back to my study table then...

"Prem! Have you forgotten something in the shop or shopkeeper did not give it to you, the thing free with this salt packet!”?

"No! Nothing! I did not forget anything there ", I replied "What thing is it?"

"On the packet it's written in big letters -- "Free Flowing Iodized Salt" and where is this thing?" he quipped.
