Once, two men were travelling in a train. One of them had his arm in a sling. The other man was very curious. He was always poking his nose into other people’s business. They called him “Nosy Parker”.
Nosy Parker began a conversation. “What’s wrong with your arm?” he asked. The injured man shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He was in pain. He also did not want to talk. “Accident,” he mumbled.
“Oh, an accident!” said Nosy Parker with surprise. “Yes,” the injured man replied. “I got it trying to pat myself on the back.” “Really!” What were you patting yourself on the back for?” asked Nosy Parker. “For minding my own business!” snapped the injured man.
