| Never say prayers in any other language! You never know what kind of translation problem you can run into. An Indian in the US suffered a heart attack on the road and was picked up by an ambulance. Being religious, he kept repeating: Hari Om, Hari Om, Hari Om... which is a prayer. When the ambulance pulled into his home, they took the victim down and pushed him to the door and rang the doorbell. A woman appeared and was shocked to see her husband on stretcher and inquired what happened. The medical officer explained what happened to her.v She screamed to the paramedics: Why didn't you take him straight to the hospital? The medical officer explained: We tried too... but he kept repeating 'Hurry Home, Hurry Home, Hurry Home...'" |
