I'm not the best Memon on earth, but masha'Allah I'm a pretty damn good one. However, the statement you quoted wasn't intended to portray that. That's just a reflection of the fact that I know and hang out with a ton of Memons. :P

Because twice a year in memon villages, they used to have a competition of who could eat the most hats. The person who was the winner was only given the honourable title if he could return them all in one piece.

I wish it was true i think it had to do with their occupations at some point. Topiwala's would sell hats, dadiwala's would cut hair, gheewala's would be lawyers.

That kind of thing.

Asalamu Alaikum,

I almost half believed that.

Anyways, We have alot of memons in my neighborhood, they seem like an organization, their all close knit.

They also have yummy food and this weird memon dessert that is amazing.

Fi AmanAllah

Coz everyone I know and hang out with is Memon. I know for a fact Sally knows very few Memons and she barely speaks Memoni. And you don't even like Memons, let alone spend time around them. :P

The only person who might be in the running would be Anderson, if he were around.

and i was soooo confused because i didnt think that's what he was thinking and i was like huh what!????

and then i told him and he was like oooh ok.

Yeah, "we" is not the same as "I" .. I'm not talking about people you vaguely know from your family, but people you personally know/see/speak to regularly.
