The Tap Went Dry

The above was the catchline of a poor joke that was doing the rounds among our group. Infact, the history behind this is as follows:

Once again, purely at random, DJ cracked a joke, which was not even funny, but only contextual. It was basically an attempt to construct a joke out of something innocent that someone just said.. Frustrated at all of this, we started saying that lets come up with a catchline, and wait for DJ and/or Sridhar to construct a joke about it.
I don't know what came to my mind, but the first line that came to my mind was the line "The tap went dry". (I think what was in my mind then was the ages old ad, "Kaha tha na Rahul, paaani chala jaayega" (for non-hindi readers :-P "I told you Rahul, the water supply will get cut off!!"))
It is better for the reputation of my blog that I don't repeat the jokes that came up after that.

But this happenned ages ago. The reason that I mentioned all of this on the post today is that today, the catch line struck back at me.

Today in the morning, the tap went dry.

Basically, it was some problem with the motor in our apartment. The strange part is that out of the three Bathrooms in our house, only my bathroom was without water. Actually the tap was spluttering with air, as if it was trying very hard to give out water, but was unsuccessful.. I waited for a long, really long time for it to start up again, but without success. As a result, I was late to office again, inspite of having got up early for a change. I guess I just deserved it for starting off with such a sad catchline, to hopefully convert it into a reasonable joke.

Do catchlines have a way of getting back at you and taking revenge? I guess this one did. :(
