The Internet is a hub for a variety of ingenious memes and jokes. While some provide an instant dose of laughter, some need to be processed to grasp the humour they are laced with. Mahindra group chairman Anand Mahindra seems to have experienced a similar struggle as he came across a meme.
Mr Mahindra shared the meme on his Twitter page that featured two glasses of juice. While one glass had “juice” written next to it, the other one with no ice had “ju” written beside it. The meme was indeed entertaining but for Mr Mahindra, it took him some time to absorb the pun.
“Maybe it's Friday and my mind is slowing down for the oncoming weekend because it took me a minute to get the joke. When I did, I laughed out so loudly my wife jumped out of her chair…” he wrote in the caption.
The tweet has garnered more than 2,000 likes within hours of being posted. It has also prompted some amusing reactions from Twitter users.
This user claimed of getting the joke “within seconds”.
“'Ju' should be made a standard shortcut to saying juice without ice. Saves time,” another wrote.
Seems like Mr Mahindra isn't the only one who took the time to process the joke.
This one too admitted that he couldn't understand the pun instantly. “But a good one,” the person added.
A user has put in some effort to decipher the joke for those who failed to comprehend it. He wrote, “1st Pic depicts juice - JU + ICE. 2nd Pic depicts Ju- JU (NOT ICE)”.
Anand Mahindra is known for sharing fun-filled posts on social media. Earlier, he shared a picture of a coffee mug with a thoughtful note. It read, “I am going to get this mug. Clever. The solution to a problem often lies by joining the dots with something outside your own ecosystem.”
