Explanation:
This is a real story. It was told by my friend which was told to him by his uncle.
My friend's uncle was travelling with his group of friends on a long journey by train (travelling somewhere in north india side).
It was night time, they were carrying whiskey (alcohol) with them and wanted to consume it. They called the train attendant(a young age guy), bribed him and ask him to arrange some ice for them.
The train had no pantry car, so the ice was not so easily available. The guy initially hesitate but seeing couple of hundreds bucks in his pocket and an offer to have some whiskey with them made him somehow arrange the ice for them.
They all enjoy their drinks and wanted more. Moving ahead for next round of whiskey, they wanted more ice. The attendant guy denied them saying he won't be able to get more. But these guys were reluctant and bribed him more. The guy again somehow manages ice for them.
This continued for 4-5 rounds. Each time the attendant used to refuse firmly but these guys bribed him more & more.
Finally when asked to manage ice one more time, the attendant guy said its impossible for him to get ice anymore now.
They ask the reason for it?
The guy replied
"Sahab ab aur ice Kaha se lao...laash ko toh pichle station pe hi utaar diya"
Translation: "Sir from where will I get more ice...the dead body already got delivered at last stop"
For those who didn't understand:
The train was carrying a dead body to be delivered at some station. The dead body was kept in ice filled container.
That attendant was getting ice from that container!!
