The Curse of Gautama
"Indra, Indra, Indra, why did you feel compelled to cheat with Ahlaya?" Bramaha asked Indra, shaking his gigantic head, rolling each set of eyes at the other deity.
Indra wouldn't make eye contact, and his uneasy shifting made an unpleasant squelching noise. "But she's so pretty!" he whined.
"So's your wife. How do you think she's going to feel about this when you get home? She's going to know, you know. I don't think Indrani is going to enjoy living with you now—you need to douche those or something because they smell."
"Do you know how
long that would take? There's a thousand of them!"
"So I heard."
Indra sniffed his arm, "I
do smell...ew..."
"You didn't seem to mind one of them earlier," Indra pointed out.
"But that's just one of them! And besides, it was attached to a lovely lady."
Bramaha sighed, "You know what? I don't think I can manage to live with you on the same planet I'm on in that condition. And I pity Indrani. So I'm going to ask Gautama to change the curse, to I dunno, six hundred livers in your nose or something."
"Oh thank you, Bramaha! Thanks so much!"
