FILIPINO SIGNS OF WIT:
1. The sign in a flower shop in Diliman called Petal Attraction.
2. Anita Bakery
3. A 24-hour restaurant called Doris Day & Night
4. Barber shop called Felix The Cut;
5. A bakery named Bread Pitt
6. Fast-food place selling 'maruya' (banana fritters) called Maruya Carey.
7. Then, there are Christopher Plumbing
8. A boutique called The Way We Wear
9. A video rental shop called Leon King Video Rental
10. A restaurant in Cainta district of Rizal called Caintacky Fried Chicken
11. A local burger restaurant called Mang Donald's
12. A doughnut shop called MacDonuts
13. A shop selling 'lumpia' (egg roll) in Makati called Wrap and Roll
14. And two butcher shops called Meating Place and Meatropolis.

Smart travelers can decipher what may look like baffling signs to
unaccustomed foreigners by simply sounding out the 'Taglish' (The
Philippine version of English words spelled and pronounced with a heavy
Filipino such as:

15. At a restaurant menu in Cebu "We hab sopdrink in can an in batol"
[translation: We have soft drinks in can and in bottle].

16. Then, there is a sewing accessories shop called Bids And Pises -
[translation: Beads and Pieces --or-- Bits and Pieces]

There are also many signs with either badly chosen or misspelled words but
they are usually so entertai ning that it would be a mistake to 'correct'
them like.......

17. In a restaurant in Baguio City , the 'summer capital' of the
Philippines : " Wanted: Boy Waitress"

18. On a highway in Pampanga: "We Make Modern Antique Furniture"

19. On the window of a photography shop in Cabanatuan : "We Shoot You WhileYou Wait"

20. And on the glass front of a cafe in Panay Avenue in Manila : "Wanted:
Waiter, Cashier, Washier".

Some of the notices can even give a wrong impression such as:
21. A shoe store in Pangasinan which has a sign saying: "We Sell Imported
Robber Shoes" (these could be the 'sneakiest' sneakers);
22. A rental property sign in Jaro reads: "House For Rent, Fully Furnaced"
(it must really be hot inside)!

23. Occasionally, one could come across signs that are truly unique - if
not altogether odd. City in southern Philippines which said: "Adults: 1
peso; Child: 50 centavos; Cadavers: fare subject to negotiation" .

24. European tourists may also be intrigued to discover two competing shops
selling hopia (a Chinese pastry) called Holland Hopia and Poland Hopia -
which are owned and operated by two local Chinese entrepreneurs, Mr. Ho and
Mr. Po respectively - (believe it or not)!

25. Some folks also 'creatively' redesign English to be more efficient.
"The creative confusion between language and culture leads to more than
just simple unintentional errors in syntax, but in the adoption of new
words, "says reader Robert Goodfellow who came across a sign .....House
Fersallarend' (house for sale or rent). Why use five words when two will
do?

26. According to Manila businessman, Tonyboy Ongsiako, there is so much wit
in the Philippines because "We are a country where a good sense of humor
is needed to survive". We have a 24-hour comedy show here called the
government and a huge reserve of comedians made up mostly of politicians
and bad actors.

Now I ask you, where else in the world would one want to live?

...Joke Joke Joke...

Loving Wife...this wife can be an example to all of us

A man breaks into a house to look for money and guns. Inside, he finds a young couple in bed. He orders the guy out of bed and ties him to a chair.While tying the homeowner's wife to the bed the convict gets on top of her, kisses her neck, then gets up and goes into the bathroom.

While he's in there, the husband whispers over to his wife: "Listen, this guy is an escaped convict. Look at his clothes! He's probably spent a lot of time in jail and hasn't seen a woman in years. I saw how he kissed your neck. If he wants sex, don't resist, don't complain...do whatever he tells you. Satisfy him no matter how much he nauseates you. This guy is obviously very dangerous. If he gets angry, he'll kill us both. Be strong, honey. I love you!"

His wife responds: "He wasn't kissing my neck. He was whispering in my ear. He told me that he's gay, thinks you're cute, and asked if we had any Vaseline. I told him it was in the bathroom. Be strong honey. I love you, too."
