Jokes, The Ones We Treasure

It's April's Fool.



Nope, there wasn't any jokes that were sprung on me yet. And nope. I've not sprung any this year. I've matured. Ok, don't believe me. That's my joke for this year.



Over the years, my family has collected quite a few classic ones that we always talk about them during the CNY - to mock at each other. It's our family thing. To laugh at one another and to laugh at oneself is a lesson that is taught at least annually back at home. After all, a family that mocks "affectionately" at one another stays together. Of cos, eating does the trick to. Normally this combination is lethel.



The Treasured Jokes - to name some in case one day my humour runs dry.

Mom's best: The "hello hello" bi si joke

My dad was hospitalised. He broke his leg in a motorcycle accident. He can't move. We were at the hospital to visit my grouchy dad. I wonder if it's the hangover or his leg that makes him grouchy... anyway.


Dad to mom: I want to shit
Mom: Oh how? You can move meh?
Dad: Need potty
Mom: Ok I call bi si. Mom pretend to act very smart, can settle it for dad seh. No help needed. Mom reached out for that buzz that's normally by the patient's bed.
Suddenly, my mom took up the buzzer and started talking to it... hello hello bi si bi si (nurse in hokkien), my hubby needs to shit. No response? Repeat conversation.
She had that undercover look just without dick tracey's suit.
We were all staring at her.
Then we looked at one another and started bursting out in laughter.
My brother then said: Mother, press button can liao lah. It's not a speaker phone.

Who? Fell?

I was at the gym with my sister at her country club. While at the threadmill, we started our yaking session.
Sis: Girl, do you think I should have an English name? Just for people I don't really know lah, just for convenience lah. To salesperson or whoever lah.
Me: Okie, so what are you thinking of?
Sis: How about Val?
Me: Hmmmmmmm
Personal trainer walks to us and strike a conversation: Hi ladies, how's your exercise? What's your names?
Me: Hi, I'm becky

My sister beamed with pride that she has a new name!
After our "fake" exercising, my brother in law came to meet us at the gym
Me to brother in law: Hey, my sister got a new name!
Sis to brother in law: I'm val!!!
Brother in law: Huh? You fell?
Sis to brother in law: No, I am Val
Brother in law: How did you fell? Where?
Apparantly, Val fell through. It didn't quite work out. My BIL don't get it at all!
