( this joke only for Sri Lankans)
One day there were two policemen checking vehicles at the Peliyagoda bridge. At about 11.45 pm a new car came and stopped in front of the policemen. Inside a well built European man. When he was about to speak one of the policeman just passed back of the security hut because he has very very less knowledge in English. Other policeman also in the same boat, but he cannot escape the place because somebody has to be there to face the foreigner.

Foreigner asked policeman about a road and how to go there in English. The policeman knows the road but he cannot explain in English. So he kept quiet. Foreigner asked the policeman in French. Policeman was in silence. Foreigner asked the policeman in German. Policeman was in silence. Foreigner asked the policeman in three or four other languages but could not get the answer from the policeman. So he went away.

The policeman at the back of the security hut was hearing all these things came in front and said (In Sri Lankan language ) “Machan api Sinhala walata amatharawa vena eka bhashavak vath danagena hitiyanam ada kochchara prayojanayakda “(useful).

Then the other policeman “ ane nikan hitapan bang. Sudda(foreigner) kochchara bhasha danagena hitiyada. Ko.. uuuuta vadak vunada !
