BILLIARD BALL

Isang classroom, nagtatanong ang teacher tungkol sa iba’t ibang klase ng bola.
TEACHER: Okey class, magbigay nga kayo ng bolang may balahibo. (taasan ng kamay) O, ikaw Maricar.
MARICAR: Ma’m, iyong tennis ball po!
TEACHER: Good! (palakpakan) O, ikaw Niel magbigay ng example.
NIEL: Ma’m leather basketballs, po!
TEACHER: Very Good! (palakpakan uli) O, ikaw naman Francis magbigay ka ng bolang may balahibo.
FRANCIS: (Tuwang-tuwang sumagot) Ma’m billiard balls po!
TEACHER: Billiard balls? teka ala namang balahibo yun ah.
FRANCIS: Naku Ma’m, hindi po! May balahibo po talaga iyon! O, sige nga Billiard ipakita mo nga kay Ma’am!


LUBID

Isang magnanakaw ang nangumpisal sa pari sa simbahan kinaumagahan:
Magnanakaw: Pader patawarin n’yo po ako at nagnakaw po ako.
Padre: Ano bang ninakaw mo?
Magnanakaw: Isang pirasong tsinilas.
Padre: Maliit lang pala ang kasalanan mo pinapatawad na kita.
Nang sumunod na araw ay bumalik ang magnanakaw upang mangumpisal ulit Magnanakaw: Padre, patawarin nyo po ako uli at nagnakaw na naman po ako.
Padre: Ano ba ulit ang iyong ninakaw, anak?
Magnanakaw: Lubid po?
Padre: Ay maliit lang pala, sige pinapatawad na kita.
Magnanakaw: Lubid nga po Padre pero sa dulo may kalabaw.



MATINONG TRABAHO
Judge: Susmaryosep! Hindi ka lang pala holdaper at snatcher, swindler, akyat-bahay at kidnaper ka pa. Wala ka bang matinong trabaho?
Accused: Mayroon po your honor. Pulis po ako.
 
 

BOSS

Naglilinis sa office si Jani ng dumating ang amo niya.
AMO: Aba, bago ka dito ano? Ano’ng pangalan mo?
JANI: Jani!
AMO: Kapag sasagot ka, lalagyan mo ng Sir. Understand? Ngayon, ano’ng pangalan mo?
JANI: Sir Jani!
AMO: Ngeek!


CHEWING GUM
Stewardess: Sir, here’s some chewing gum so your ears won’t hurt during the flight.
Seaman: Thank  you, Miss.
After an hour ....
Seaman: Paano ba ito tanggalin sa tenga ko?

MOTHER OF ALL 
PROFESSIONS
During the Education Week Celebration, the emcee emphasized that teaching is the mother of all profession.
Claudio: It’s nice to hear that teaching is the mother of all professions.
Romeo: If teaching is the mother of all professions, who must have been the father?
 

BULALO
Sa gitna ng salo-salo sa barko, may tatlong marinong kasalukuyang himihigop ng sabaw.
AB: (NAPAPAIYAK) Mga pre, alam n’yo kapag kumain ako ng masarap na pagkain tulad ngayon, naalala ko ang pamilya kong nasa Pilipinas. Siguro, tipid na tipid sila ngayon sa pagkain, matagal din kasi akong istambay.
OS: (NAPAIYAK NA RIN) Ako naman naaala ko ang mga kasama ko sa UFS, tiyak tuyo at noodles lang tinitira nila. Sana nandito rin sila, kasalo natin.
BUSON: (NAPAIYAK NA DIN AT NAPASIGAW PA) Mga buwisit kayo ang da-drama n’yo pa eh, bakit hindi n’yo sinabi na napakainit ng sabaw, napaso nguso ko!
 

TAKE HOLD OF HIS HAND
A captain’s son was placed on the operating table ready for a minor operation.
Captain: Don’t be afraid son. I will hold your hand.
Youngster: “No, no. Hold the doctor’s hands.
 
 


ANY WIVES
CAPTAIN: Let me introduce you to my wife.
MANNING EXECUTIVE: I am always glad to meet any of your wives
 
 
 

THE TRUTH
An AB was a witness in court.
Lawyer: Did anyone tell you what to say in court?
AB: Yes sir!
Lawyer: And what did he tell you?
AB: He said lawyers would try to get me tangled up but if I stick to the truth, I would be all  right.
