Drain the Brain

This afternoon, i met Drain in the tea house, who is from holland. It's a rather interesting name as drain has many different meanings. It can interpret as a small canal; to withdraw or draw off gradually; become empty; etc. It's interesting because, at least i find, that this word also meant of a small canal, of water from sewage, or any other ditches, that flows along.

Of course, the meaning of his name is not meant as that. Frankly, i'm clueless. However, i do noticed his mind work in a different manner. His expression is consistent throughout the conversation; he do not failed to provide a frown even when told a joke. This made me wonder why he isnt laughing. Hence, i inquired and do you know what i was told?



Answer: His brain has been drained since young from laughing in school by the education system because the society believes life is misery. A mentioned of this name and the smile will appear. Seems like people are still living in the dark ages...


Did you find the name?
