Soft-drinks in the provinces...

Coca-cola is a popular drink in the province. 

It is so common that it is used as a generic term to refer to a bubbly soft-drink. If one would buy a Sprite from the store, one would say "Pabili ng Kok na Sprite." (I would like to buy Coke that is Sprite.) Or to buy Royal Tru Orange, one would say "Pabili ng Kok na Orange." (I would like to buy Coke that is Orange.) 

As for Pepsi Cola in the province, did you know that Pepsi is sold in five (5) liters?

Liter P, liter E, liter P, liter S, liter I.
Did you count that? Five (5) liters, right?

(Didn't you mean "letters"?)

Young Nostradamus...

Imagine a scene where the Young Nostradamus is at the dining table with his Mom...

Nostradamus' Mom: "Nostradamus, finish eating your food." 

Nostradamus: "I knew you're gonna say that."

NM: "There you go again."

N: "I knew you're gonna say that."

NM: "Stop it." 

N: "That too."

(Looks like he has the makings of the man who saw tomorrow.)

Airline Funnies...

When a 747 plane is about to crash to the ocean, this is what you might hear:

1)LUFTHANSA AIRLINES: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. To those who are capable of swimming, kindly proceed at wing A. And to those who cannot swim, kindly proceed at wing B. To those at wing A, please queue to the emergency door, and there will be a slide provided and you may swim away for safety. And for those at wing B, thank you for flying Lufthansa Airlines."

2)PHILIPPINE AIRLINES: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Our Father in Heaven..."

(Looks like they both don't have life jackets... so much for handling the situation on a wing and a prayer.)

Piglet and the Doctor...

Imagine Piglet (Winnie the Pooh's buddy) is consulting a respectable medical doctor. And the doctor said, "I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to
hear first?" Piglet said, "Um th-th-th-the b-b-b-bad news, Doc." The doctor said, "The bad news is your stuttering condition is genetic..."

"But the good news is, through DNA testing, we discovered who your biological father is." 

And the doctor handed a photo to Piglet. It was a photo of... Porky Pig (from Looney Tunes).

("Th-Th-Th-That's all, folks!") ;-)

The Loan Officer and the Frog

illustrated by Dominique Liongson 

                             

There was a new Loan Officer named Ms Patty Whack. She was serving a frog who wanted a loan. The frog said, "I am a son of Mick Jagger. I want to give you this as my collateral for the loan." He handed over the plastic object to Ms Whack. Unknowing what to do, she took hold of his collateral and consulted her boss. After telling her boss about the matter, he replied:
