For OBVIOUS REASONS

A board outside the ill-managed sham of an Indian movie multiplex Naz 8 has the following friendly message on its gate in bold red letters "For obvious reasons, please do not bring in food, water, alcohol or cookies inside" ..No it isn't obvious at all.

The following are some OBVIOUSLY prohibitive and/or ludicrous things to take inside a film theatre:

1) your own Home Theatre, DVD player or TV.
2) electric guitar
3) 4 wheel vehicle
or even 2 wheel vehicle
(2 or 4 stroke engine)
4) a panda
5) a panda sitting on top of a 4 wheeled vehicle

Please comment with some other items that for OBVIOUS reasons should not be allowed in a Movie Theatre

large stomachs
new shoes
beer keg
marijuana (to smoke, to eat, to show & tell)
a cocaine habit
hand gun
switch blade
g-string
the urge to dance
a too-defined sense of reality (for most movies in the vernacular)

They actually frisk your bag and make you leave it outside if you have food, it is like entering a high-security zone :))

"are you a sardine?"

I asked this question of the missus, who phlegmatically replied "Brains". "Brains?" I responded. "Brains!" she reiterated.

Her logic is that if they're showing Hindi movies,a brain would be about the most absurd item to take in. She recommends frisking, but people with MBAs would be exempt.

I Read this signboard in a fast food breakfast place:

" Everyone brings joy to this place,
Some when they come in and others when they leave"
