Damn you,walletnook.Com!

Problem?

The online description was completely misleading.

They said eight slots,plus removable id.

To any rational person,that would mean room for nine cards,

but they don't tell you,the removable id takes up one slot.

It's a nightmare!

Okay,now,do you really need

the honorary justice league of america membership card?

It's been in every wallet I've owned since I was five.

Why?

It says "keep this on your person at all times."

it's right here under batman's signature.

…And this is leonard and sheldon's apartment.

Guess whose parents just got broadband.

Leonard,may I present,live from new delhi,

Dr.And mrs.V.M.Koothrappali.

Hi!

Tilt up the camera up! I'm looking at his crotch.

Sorry,papa.

Oh,that's much better.

- Hi. - Hi!

And over here is sheldon.

Hi!

He lives with leonard.

Oh,that's nice.

Like haroon and tanvir.

No,no. Not like haroon and tanvir.

Such sweet young men.

They just adopted the cutest little punjabi baby.

No,we're not like haroon and tanvir.

So,are you boys academics like our son?

Yes.

And your parents are comfortable with your limited earning potential?

- Oh,yes. - Not at all.

Papa,please. Don't start.

It was just a question.

He's so sensitive.

Okay,that's my life. That's my friends.

Good to see you. Say good-bye.

- Bye. - Bye.

Wait! Wait!

Before you go,we have good news.

Put the computer down and gather your friends.

- What is it,papa? - I don't see your friends.

Is it just me,or does web chatting

with your clothes on seem a little pointless?

Rajesh,do you remember lalita gupta?

The little fat girl that used to kick me in the samosas and call me untouchable?

Yes.

Well,now she's a dental student at usc,

so we gave her your contact information.

Why did you do that?

You're 26 years old,rajesh.

We want grandchildren.

But,papa,I'm not supposed...

lalita's parents approved the match.

If you decide on a spring wedding,we can avoid monsoon season.

A spring wedding?

It's up to you,dear.

We don't want to meddle.

If you don't want to meddle,then why are you meddling?

If I may,your parents probably don't consider this meddling.

While arranged marriages are no longer the norm,

indian parents continue to have

a greater-than-average involvement in their children's love lives.

Why are you telling me about my own culture?

You seemed confused.

Sorry,mumi,papa,but with all due respect,

- I really don't want to... - I'm sorry,darling.

We have to go.

Doogie howser is on.

Grandma! It's doogie time!

- Bye-bye! - Bye-bye!

I don't believe it.

Neither do I.

Doogie howser's been off the air for like 20 years.

Actually,I read somewhere that it's one of the most popular programs in india.

It might speak to a cultural aspiration

to have one's children enter the medical profession.

I bet you're right.

I bet they love scrubs.

What's not to love?

Excuse me! Hello?

My parents are trying to marry me off to a total stranger.

What am I going to do?

I suggest you go through with it.

What?

Romantic love as the basis for marriage

has only existed since the 19th century.

Up until then,arranged marriages were the norm,

and it served society quite well.

It's the entire premise of fiddler on the roof.

I'm not a big fan of musicals,but I love that show.

Me too.

Of course,it speaks to me culturally.

Understandable,but there's a universality to that story which transcends ethnicity.

Let's not forget it's got some really catchy tunes.

- oh,absolutely. - Yeah!

Okay,I know what I'm going to do.

What?

Find new friends.

so who wants to rent fiddler?

No need,we have the special edition.

Well,maybe we are like haroon and tanvir.


The.Grasshopper.Experiment

this is dr.Sheldon cooper.

Yeah,I need to cancel my membership to the planetarium.

Well,I'm sorry,too,but there's just no room for you in my wallet.

I understand,but it was between you and the museum of natural history,

and frankly,you don't have dinosaurs.

I'll miss you,too. Bye-bye.

Okay,I know you're texting about me and I'd really like you to stop.
