Just Wasting Time

Hm. It's 0910 and I'm the first one in the office! Where is everyone? Is today a holiday I don't know about?? Anyhow, since no one is around I'll just start the day off with a spot of blogging. Heh.

Since my dad semi-retired he's been spending part of his day forwarding jokes to people on his email list. Yesterday's joke of the day was one of the better ones; my colleague was staring at me wondering why I suddenly burst out laughing. So here it is:

Stay away from these names if you speak...

Mandarin

  • Nelson Tan aka 鸟生蛋
  • Faye Chen aka 灰尘
  • Anne Chin aka 安静
  • Jane Tan aka 煎蛋

Hokkien

  • Carl Chng aka Buttock
  • Monica Chng aka Touching your buttock
  • Pete Tsai aka Nose Droppings

Hehehe.

Along the same lines, someone sent me this on CNY:-

And that just leads us to...

In the land of Mars where the women don't wear bras
But the men don't care cos they don't wear underwear
