A very famous cook who really loved what he did was crying while cutting something. Seeing this, his friend asked him:
Friend: What's wrong buddy? Why are you crying?
Cook: Oh, nothing my friend. These are my tears of joy!
Friend: Oh! That's um nice! By the way, what kind of joy are we talking about?
Cook: The joy of cutting onions, ofcourse!
Well folks, a silly little joke which you can be rest assured I made up while cutting onions today :-)
This reminded me of a funny little story I heard in my childhood about why we cry while cutting onions. This is how it goes...
Long long ago, there were two best friends - An Onion and a Tomato. Every time someone came to the grocer to buy vegetables, these two used to hide somewhere in a corner so as not to get caught. Suddenly one day, someone bought this Tomato along with the other veggies. While bidding his farewell to his best friend, the Onion started crying. For many days he felt very lonely. Then a thought flashed - What will happen when someone buys me too or when I die? Who will cry for me? I am so lonely without my friend Tomato!!!
This was the time God granted him a boon - "My dear Onion, don't you worry...when you die...the whole world will cry"!!!!
And then....the rest....as they say....is history :-)
