Skoda Laura is an impressive car. It’s one of the best selling cars in its segment in India. Even the name Laura is majestic, meaning victor. However, releasing cars named as Laura in India is a BIG mistake. And you (the guys at Skoda and the people who have bought this car) should be prepared to be subjected to endless lists of bad puns and ridicule.
Location: DG’s scenic terrace.
Characters: DG, SA, PGI and Me
Scene: We had just finished munching down some insane BBQ. Full of food and alcohol, we were all zoning out in different corners of the terrace.
Start Scene
*DG looks down from the terrace and notices my car parked below*
DG: Dude!
Me: Yeah?
DG: Do you have a Laura?
*Stunned silence befalls the already silent terrace*
Me: Errrr….
DG: Well do you have a Laura or not?
*SA is rolling on the floor laughing and PGI is in a state of shock* (Click here if you don’t know what Laura means in Hindi)
*After what seems like eternity has passed*
Me: I have an Octavia.
PGI: Phew! You guys are talking about cars! Seesh!
DG: Ah okay. I thought you had a Laura.
Me: Ummmm, I do have one….
DG: So you have two cars?
Me: Errr… Nevermind
