What happens when you add zero between ‘padi’ (ten)? It becomes ‘pandi’ (pig). What do you call a ‘vantavadu’ these days in English? The answer is: husband. What follows after alphabet ‘T’? It is ‘biscuits’. The most sought-after word is — ‘free’.

Husband: Why did you stop the housemaid from work all of a sudden?

Wife: She started calling me akka !!

If Ravan becomes a singer, he doesn’t need a chorus.

Woman: Will you love me even after your marriage?

Man: Only if your husband permits.

Doling out a total of 37 jokes in one minute, Korukonda Ranga Rao, a foreman in Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, completed his first mission of narrating ‘Most jokes told in one minute’ in his attempt to get into the Limca Book of Records at Vysakhi Jala Udyanavanam on Sunday.

Organised by the Laugthers Fun Club, the first event covered a wide range of topics.

After a break, Mr. Ranga Rao started off his 10-hour-long journey of solo performance of skits with uniform energy levels and perfect timing from 10.13 a.m. From lethargic employees to conversations between husband and wife, and how police personnel swing into action after they receive a complaint, the skits kept the viewers spellbound throughout the show. Sporting wigs, changing costumes, and donning about 40 roles in a split second, Mr. Ranga Rao treated the audience to a number of skits that lasted a few minutes each.

“I am very passionate about acting. It drives me to bring the best out of me. Apart from attempting to break the record, participating in such events helps me quench my thirst for acting,” he said.

AU Vice-Chancellor G.S.N. Raju inaugurated the programme. VSP General Manager in-charge (Maintenance) O.R. Ramani, CID Inspector Nagesh Kumar, and joint secretary of the club P.K. Durgaprasad were among those present.
