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.
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 !"
