Ghandi joke As I'm sure you've heard, Gandhi, a very spiritual man, used hunger strikes and peaceful marches as tactics to bring attention to the plight of his people. Unfortunately, this had some negative effects on his health and well being. Besides overall weakness due to lack of food, persistent near starvation caused him to have truly awful breath. The constant walking, typically bare foot or in light sandals, gave him endless bunions and corns on his poor feet. So it would be fair to say that he was a super calloused fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.
