They will say they saw a white house boy as you didn't say "joke". The need to often say that after attempting some humour is a bit tedious.

Re: Humorous Episodes

Read somewhere the PSA said older certificates were more likely to be tampered with. So they brought in features like new colours. It was said some years ago Recto was the place to go to get fake...

Re: Humorous Episodes

Yes, that's the case in many areas. For instance you get fewer bills on paper. Time consuming use of passwords to view your bill. Also annoying as when you need to prove your address you can be...

Re: Humorous Episodes

Not so much chaos to me. As the idea is not that. It's that all government services will be open 7am-4pm. Therefore there will be a mismatch with the private sector. So both "rush hours" will be...

Re: Humorous Episodes

She was thinking he had lost his inhibition and had told the truth. He probably argued he was so drunk he didn't know what he was saying. Finely balanced. Not surprised he was with you for a few...

Re: Humorous Episodes

Not sure how humorous this is, but it came to mind when I was recently thinking about Filipino names.
