our city, our very own Bangalore, will soon be hosting the world’s first festival dedicated to potholes. I don’t think any other city deserves this honor and it is thanks to the hard work put in by many carefree ministers and incompetent bureaucrats over the years that our city has turned into the world’s pothole capital. In fact we have so many potholes that if we were to connect each one of them, Bangalore’s elevation above the mean sea level would go down by atleast 100 feet,” a beaming minister for Potholes and Artificial Pollination, P Puchappa said.

Sources say the government is planning to hold the event inside a huge pothole. 100 candidates have already been identified in the Central Business District itself. "The government is confident that it will be able to exploit the tourism potential offered by potholes and is planning to set up a separate body to do that on the lines of Jungle Lodges. Do not be surprised if you see some tourists residing inside a fully furnished pothole in Bangalore in the near future," a bureaucrat said.
