Hridayananda Goswami: When I was Prabhupada’s secretary in Mayapur in February 1976, just before the annual meeting, Prabhupada told me several jokes. One was about an Indian servant of a British lord who had to leave his service, and who convinced a friend to take over for him. The friend protested, “I don’t know English. How can I serve this British lord?” The servant said, “You only have to know three words: yes, no, and very good.” He said, “If you know that, that’s enough.” So the friend took the job and one time there was something missing. The British lord confronted this servant and said, “Did you take this object?” He said, “Yes.” So, “Will you give it back?” “No.” So, “I’m going to call the police!” “Very good.”
