George
De Silva was a Minister during the early days of our independence. He was
attributed various 'howlers' in his day to day conversations.
This related to a conversation of the Hon George de Silva with his
daughter. The Hon. George de Silva's daughter learnt to ride a bicycle without
her father's approval. She also had a pet cat. One day the daughter had found a
spot of loss of hair, on her pet cat's fur. She was told it was a disease
called 'mange' by her veterinarian.
The
daughter had come running to her father when he returned home in the evening.
She had told him -
"Daddy,
daddy, my pussy has got 'mange' ".
George de Silva had retorted -
"I
told you not to ride a bicycle".
Obviously George Silva was thinking
of the wrong 'pussy'
(By the way I heard this one
recently - "A man who says that a dog is man's best friend, has never felt
a pussy")
