Balls!!!

During my days with Symphony Services, we used to spend a lot of our free time in the office playing Table Tennis. Once, late in the evening, our Manager Ramani, my team lead Aparna, my colleagues Subhasish and Yamijala Murlidhar (a.k.a Yam) and I went to play TT.

The TT table was in the roof-top cafeteria. Ramani, Aparna, Subhasish and I went to the cafeteria and were waiting for Yam to come. He had gone to collect TT rackets/bats and balls, which used to be in possession of the security guard on the floor below. 

It must have been around 9 PM in the night but even at that hour, there was a decent crowd in the cafeteria. Since Yam was taking too long to come back, we decided to get something to drink and went to a refreshments counter. 

Just then Yam arrived in the cafeteria. Since we were a little far from him, he shouted at the top of his voice..."We cannot play TT.....the security guard does not have balls!!!". 

It took couple of minutes for the laughter to subside!!!
