Humored

George Bernard Shaw once said:

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism by those who don't have it.

But as a Malaysian, there's no need to have accurate observation, cynicism just comes along as an everyday's item.

Besides being humored lately by the government purchase of derailed locomotive and submarines which unable to submerge, I was pretty amused by some house officers.

One mistakenly mentioned wide-spaced nipple as wide nipple.

The other was telling me about the fingers-compensation theory, when I asked him to try to remove the product of conception near the os digitally for a patient with incomplete abortion. As far as I know, I think fingers-correlation theory was more widely accepted than his theory and he (& probably his partner) should not delude themselves with the other theory.

Well, but the real joke which crosses the border of pathetically funny is this:

If you cross the North Korean border illegally
You get 12 years hard labour.

If you cross the Iranian border illegally
You will be jailed indefinitely.

If you cross the Afghan border illegally
You will be shot.

If you cross the Chinese border illegally
You will never be heard from again.

If you are Indonesian and cross the Malaysian border illegally you will get......

A man came home from work and his children ran to him and called out ‘Ayah! Ayah!’.

His neighbor got very upset and said to him, “Can you please tell your children not to call you ‘Ayah’?”

The man asked, “Why?”

The neighbor retorted, “Because my children call me ’Ayah’ too. They might get confused and mistake you to be their father.”

Then the man told his neighbour, are you not ashamed to say that your children do not know who is their 'Ayah'? So you are saying that by using the word 'Ayah' , your children will call me ayah too without knowing who is their father.

The neighbour said "Yes", and only he should be allowed to use the word 'Ayah'.

The man said, "Then there is something wrong in what you are teaching your children. They are not sure and do not know who their 'Ayah' is.
