Anecdotes come from all over the world. They come in bundles to tease and deride others but to invigorate and to teach us.
They send a small but strong wave of light towards an idea, a person, a happening or an institution which has probably never attrached our attentiıon in the course of daily life, though it should have done so. Through the short and handy way of cathing our eye, the anecdote usually leads us to criticize a non-functioning institution, to be aware of social discomfort to sympathize with people not alien to ourselves, or just to laugh and have fun...
Well, that's not bad, is it?
