Joke

"Why don't they have Halloween in India?"

"Because they took away the Gandhi."

.....

Took me five minutes to get it.

    You're pronouncing Gandhi correctly, if you still don't get it.

    No, pronounce it with the 'a' as in 'axe'.. Go lightly on the 'g' so it's almost indistinguishable from 'k', and say the 'dh' as you would say the 'd' in 'dad'. Think about the Halloween connection. You'll get it.
