Sum-thing borrowed, sum-thing blue: Indian groom is rejected at the altar by bride who asked him to add up 15 + 6 to prove he was educated… and he answered '17' 

  • Indian bride walks out of wedding after groom fails basic arithmetic test

A blundering Indian groom was dumped at the altar by his bride-to-be after he failed to solve a simple maths problem.
The woman walked out of the ceremony after her would-be husband revealed his appalling arithmetic skills moments before they said 'I do.'
She had asked him to add up 15 + 6 and he wrongly replied that the answer was 17.

'The groom's family kept us in the dark about his poor education,' said Mohar Singh, the bride's father.
'Even a first grader can answer this.' 
Most marriages in India are arranged by the families of the bride and groom. 
Except for brief meetings, the couple rarely gets to know each other before the nuptials.

    The book is best I've read about any singer; in fact I wrote the author and told him so. He is a longtime master ...

I know a little bit about a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you
Just when I think you're mine
You try a different line and baby what can I do?
I read the latest news no buttons on my shoes
But baby I'm confused about you
You've got me in a spin and what a spin I'm in
'Cause I don't know enough about you
Jack of all trades, master of none
And isn't it a shame
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
And if you'd only play my game
You know I went to school and I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you
I know a little bit about a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you
Jack of all trades, master of none
And isn't it a shame
I'm so sure that you'd be good for me
If you'd only play my game
You know I went to school and I'm nobody's fool
That is to say until I met you
I know a little bit about a lot of things
But I don't know enough about you
I know a bit about biology
A little more about psychology
I'm a little gem in geology
But I don't know enough about you
And no, I don't know enough about you
No I don't know enough about you

  1. It was Peggy Lee, who  wrote that melody




And she could sing it very well too, you see

though never a maestro di cappelli

like many a typical  Puccini.
  1. However,   she also was no weepy  Madame Butterfly
  2. or even a sweet tubercular  Mimi
which is probably why she made it  past eighty


despite the  numerous scars 

of her  four marriages from the mating wars.


So you can't blame a young lady for being inquisitive

about any man who seems too bent on being  acquisitive
  1.  or in thinking, [perhaps  in Urdu:
"Will this guy do?"

or maybe, alternately,    in Gujarati,

"Should I let this jerk  marry me?"
