Dhobi Bhai got interested in and eventually turned into a ventriloquist. One day he was walking in the country, when he comes upon Danial Shah and his pet dog standing at the side of the road. He stops and they exchange greetings. Dhobi Bhai was bored from all that walking alone for so long, so he decides to have a little fun with Danial Shah.
“Danny boy - Would you mind if I spoke with your dog?” he asked Danial Shah.
“Are you stupid or somethin’?” Danial Shah replied incredulously,
“Dogs can’t talk!”
“Well, I’ll give it a shot anyway,” said Dhobi Bhai.
He bent down by the dog and says, “How ya doin’ there, dog?” He
then does the voice of the dog without moving his lips and says
“Oh, I’m doin’ fine.”
Now Danial shah is flabbergasted. Dhobi Bhai proceeds to have a pretend conversation with the dog, asking him how Danny treats him, where they go for walks, etc.
When he’s finished, they walk up the path to the farm and go to the stables.
“Mind if I talk to your horse?” Dhobi Bhai asked.
“You can talk to horses, too? Well, shoot, I guess I don’t
mind…” answered Danial Shah.
Again, Dhobi Bhai has a conversation with the horse,
asking him how often Danny takes him out riding, how often he is fed, etc. Then they walk out of the stable towards the fields. Dhobi Bhai spies a herd of sheep in the pasture.
“Mind if I talk to your sheep?” he asks.
Danial Shah turns bright red
and stammers,
“Them sheep ain’t nothing but liars, every single one of 'em!!!” ![]()
