Time for a coconut

One day, before my evening concert in Southern India, I was walking down the street when I was appoached by a man with an axe.

It was a big axe...( I don't know what he was saying but his mates looked at the axe then looked at me and started laughing)

The axe man told me I needed to buy a coconut from him...

So, without arguing, I gave him the cash and drank up...

The axe man wanted his picture taken. So I kept smiling...(trying not to notice where the blade was pointing)

And I made sure he was happy with the photo...

"See," I said. "We got your best side. And the best side of your axe..."

You don't mess with an axe man...
