Aaran is appointed as rocket scientist at NASA and his latest project is to find out if the moon is really made of cheese. The prerequisite for this highly publicized NASA job was ultra sensitive ناساں. In order to understand this only criterion, one needs to understand Punjabi.
Anyway, Aaran plans an expedition. He climbs into his flying khota-gari: 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1.. Blast off! Khota was found sleeping.. He woke him up.. and 3,2,1...blast off.. and Aaran shoots into space. He is on his way. Then he gently touches down on moon's bright yellow surface. He takes a long deep sniff and the wonderful aroma of fresh cheese fills his ناساں... I mean nostrils. He takes out a knife and cuts a large slice out of the moon. It tastes delicious.
Aaran argues that moon is made of cheese. It is crescent shaped because he during his research took a bite out of it.
What a genius...
