Paagal Joe

I saw two little girls riding an old bike by our base the other day. They had to stop every few feet because the chain on the bike was loose and kept falling off. Luckily, I had my Leatherman on me and was able to convince them in Hindi to let me have a look. Pretty soon I was surrounded by kids trying to figure out what Paagal Joe, as I am now known, was doing. It was an easy fix and you'd have thought I turned water into wine by the kids' reaction. That was the best part of my day.
