great stuff.
Note: below is a joke that requires a lot of attention to detail, and quite a bit of concentration. it is well worth it in the end.

Rahul is abroad in boarding school studying in the 6th standard. One day in class, the teacher asks him "Rahul, do you know where the Indian Ocean is?" Rahul, uncertain as to the answer of the question, replies "No, ma'am". The teacher, shocked exclaims: "You dont know where the Indian ocean is? Get out of my class and stand outside!"
Rahul obediently stands outside the class. The principal walks by, a jolly old man, and asks Rahul cheerfully why he is standing outside the class. Rahul says: “I was in class and the teacher asked me if I knew where the Indian Ocean is. I said that I didn’t know so she told me to get out of the class.” The principal exclaims "What! You dont know where the Indian Ocean is? Get out of my school! Now! You are expelled!"
Poor Rahul goes to the dorm, packs his bags, and prepares to go home. He calls a taxi and is quite depressed by now. The taxi driver asks him "Why so glum, chum?" Rahul explains: “I was in class and the teacher asked me if I knew where the Indian Ocean is. I said that I didn’t know so she told me to get out of the class. I was standing outside class and the principal came and asked me what I was doing outside class. I told him what happened and he expelled me, so now I am going home”. The taxi driver, truly shocked, says: "What! You dont know where the Indian Ocean is? Get out of my taxi! Now!"
Rahul is left to hoof it to the airport. He buys a ticket back to India and boards the plane. The dreadful events having sunk in, he begins to cry. A kind air hostess asks him "Why are you crying, beta? What happened?" Rahul relates his sorrowful tale: “I was in class and the teacher asked me if I knew where the Indian Ocean is. I said that I didn’t know so she told me to get out of the class. I was standing outside class and the principal came and asked me what I was doing outside class. I told him what happened and he expelled me. Then I was in the cab on the way to the airport, and I was sad so the taxi driver asked me what happened, and I told him. He threw me out of the cab and I had to walk to the airport”. The air hostess, taken aback, shouts "WHAT! You dont know where the Indian Ocean is? OFF THE PLANE, NOW!" The plane is in mid air, and luckily Rahul is afforded a parachute. He is thrown off the plane and lands in the water.
After many hours in the cold water, Rahul, suffering from exhaustion and depression, finally sights a small boat. A cheery fisherman rescues him from the water, and asks how he came to be in the middle of the ocean. “I was in class and the teacher asked me if I knew where the Indian Ocean is. I said that I didn’t know so she told me to get out of the class. I was standing outside class and the principal came and asked me what I was doing outside class. I told him what happened and he expelled me. Then I was in the cab on the way to the airport, and I was sad so the taxi driver asked me what happened, and I told him. He threw me out of the cab and I had to walk to the airport. Then I was in the plane, and crying, so the air hostess asked me what had happened. I told her my story, and she threw me out of the plane”. The fisherman, truly bewildered, whistles and says "How can you not know where the Indian Ocean is?? Get off my boat!" Rahul is thrown off the boat. Luckily, land (India) is nearby and he is a good swimmer, so he makes it to the shores of his hometown.
Rahul weaves his way through the city, absolutely despondent and utterly confused as to why such a fate has befallen him. Finally, he reaches home. Drowning in tears, he falls in front of his parents, not able to say a word. They ask him anxiously, totally stunned as to how he ended up back home in the middle of the school year. Finally, after a glass of water and after calming Rahul down, he explains: “I was in class and the teacher asked me if I knew where the Indian Ocean is. I said that I didn’t know so she told me to get out of the class. I was standing outside class and the principal came and asked me what I was doing outside class. I told him what happened and he expelled me. Then I was in the cab on the way to the airport, and I was sad so the taxi driver asked me what happened, and I told him. He threw me out of the cab and I had to walk to the airport. Then I was in the plane, and crying, so the air hostess asked me what had happened. I told her my story, and she threw me out of the plane. I was freezing in the water when a fisherman came by in his boat and picked me up. He asked me what I was doing in the water, and I told him my story. He reacted in the same way as the others and threw me out, so I had to swim all the way to land”. His parents mutter in unison: "You... dont... know....where THE INDIAN OCEAN IS??" His father takes a moment to gather his thoughts and says "this is unacceptable, you are a disgrace. Get the hell out of my house and never, ever come back!!"
Rahul, utterly astonished by these events, prepares to leave home. His parents turn their heads and refuse to even say goodbye. He makes his way out the door...blinded by tears.
