Deewana's Jokes
There is a thief in our village. He is different from other thieves in many ways. First, he would rather steal less than more. Second, he would break into the house of the poor than the rich. And third, he steals in the funniest ways ever. All the stories about him are real, and not made up. He proudly tells his stories to folks in the village after he serves a term for breaking into someone house, yes, he is habitual.
In one instance, he narrated, he decided to break into one of his neighbors's house. He wanted to do so because he knew the men went to work in the day and the women and children, on that particular day, were supposed to go to a wedding. The house then would have no one. He got into the house and started collecting valuables in a sack. Before he could leave the house, he found that they people of the home had arrived and were trying to open the gate. He did not know what to do or where to hide. He saw a big tree in the middle of the house's compound. He climbed up that tree and sat there hiding in the leaves.
He then said the women brought their cots under the tree's shade and he could see them from above. He told how he enjoyed the women talking, backbiting, and at one point even discussing how he had become a nuisance for the village.
When the dark fell, he climbed down and ran away with his sack! :D
Who else can know it better than a psychiatrist sam? Yeah, it could be that; however, I doubt it. Coz kleptomaniac usually steal things which they never use. Deewana is a little different, lol.
segmund, if it's always the same guy that does it again and again, it might be a case of kleptomania: he can't refrain himself from stealing. it's not for the fun of doing it, as much as the urge to steal (even stealing items he doesn't need at all, but were there and he couldn't refrain from stealing!)
drsam I am saying exactly that. People beat the guy so many times. He was even made to parade with his face blackened. His father refused to receive him after he came back from jail. But he is just pathological. People find it funny because he does not steal like other thieves. He never carries a gun. He was once even beaten up by a few girls. Once he went into someone's house. While he was in the room, someone in the house locked the door from outside so he could not go. In the mosque, announcement was made for all the people of the village to gather round in the house where a burglary had just been intercepted. Nobody knew who the thief was. And when the door was opened and the mob of people with batons, guns and everything rushed into the room, the room was empty. Later Deewaana told that it was him and had actually joined the mob and had started shouting along with them. He said he even tried to look under the bed to search for the "thief". He had mixed up with the people so cleverly that no body realized. :)Fatimah, you are also right. Personally, I hate thieves, they must be punished and the world must be ridded of them. The point of the joke is just the manner of this idiotic thief, nothing else. :)
those stories are common in villages and rural areas. they don't focus on one person in particular. it's mainly teenagers "boasting" how they stole their old neighbour's car to go for a date and their returning of the car at dawn. or stealing poultry, fruits, or vegetables to have a picnik (pique-nique) ...
i caught some teenagers stealing almonds from my garden a couple of years ago (or more ;) i told them not to worry, that they can come whenever they want and have almond. they never came again: for them the act of stealing gives the stolen good its flavor! oh, and none of them is poor or in need. it's just for the adventure.
Do you honestly find such jokes funny? Mind you I posted this way only cos in the OP you stated "All the stories about him are real, and not made up"As a person who has had my house burgled I can tell you its never a funny matter. Regardless of how small the loss may be the feelings of fear, shock and invasion following a robbery never quite leaves you for years to come. For me such stories then can never give me pleasure.If my previous post was in anyway offending then I apologize. But I hope you understand where my view came from.
Some people have a negative mindset and always drop into a discussion as a housefly in a cup of tea. If only they could understand to see the positive aspects of all things, if only they could know what jokes meant, if only they knew what positivism means, if only they could have learnt how to keep shut, if only...
If indeed this is all true I can't imagine what sort of mindset the people who listen to his criminal stories, and worse still find it entertaining and funny, must have!
I do not think he would ever want to leave his village, since that is the only place where his stupidities can be put up with. Once he even stole a ceiling fan from a room where a husband and wife were asleep. He later described the funny scene of using a hand-fan to to fan to the couple so that they do not awake from sleep while at the same time removing the fan from the ceiling. They couple did not wake up before he had left. :)
wow too good, so did he come to Qatar?
