Among the former, jokes are loud and hearty and they are also permissible between total strangers. One day a fellow passenger looked at my large sola topee and remarked that it was heavier than my whole body and when I replied that it was no bigger than his turban, he said that he hoped I was not offended at his joke.
Another day, I even had an anxious inquiry about my health. In the hot season, I sometimes get an irritation at the back of my neck, especially because I wear a collar and tie even then, and this makes me jerk my head and even peck it like a bird. Last summer, I had an attack of this and when travelling in the bus, I suddenly heard the gentleman sitting next to me asking me in English, ‘Is it a habit or is it a disease?’ As I was somewhat surprised by the question and could not at first understand what it was about, he repeated the query. I asked on my turn, ‘What is a habit or a disease?’ Then the gentleman mimicked me exactly and said, ‘This. ‘I was bound in common politeness to reply, ‘I suppose it is a habit.'
What is the meaning of the comparison “peck it like a bird”?
