Stories of Hon. George de Silva, our first Minister of Health of Ceylon.


The story was about a meeting presided by the Hon George de Silva regarding the development of the Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya. Someone suggested that a place, a urinal, be constructed for visitors to the garden, to pass urine if the need arose. George Silva promptly replied, "Why don't you go the whole hog and build an arsenal".

The Hon George de Silva thought, an arsenal meant, a place where you could do a number two, as it was called during Victorian times.


George E de Silva was famous for the  Gondola joke. 
A Kandy Municipal Councilor suggested having a few Gondolas in the Kandy Lake and George E is purported to have said
"Why stop at one buy a few, if you buy a pair, they will reproduce !"
