Hilarious and insightful.
Inday jokes. My, my, i can't stop laughing.
Here's an example of an Inday joke that I've found on the web:
Ano ang sinabi ni Dr. Jose P. Rizal kay Inday?
Rizal: Inday, ang hindi marunong magmahal sa sariling wika ay mas masahol pa sa halimaw at malansang isda.
Inday: Thank you for that wonderful words of wisdom, but don’t you know that I already read all your writings? Unfortunately, I was really disappointed as majority of your novels were written in Spanish and Latin. So, therefore you are the ultimate violator of your own aphorism.Another one:
Inday: The status restricts me to love you but you have the provocations. The way you smile is the proximate cause why I love you. We have some reasons to think of. We have no vested rights to love each other because the upper household dismissed my petition...
Dodong: Perhaps you are mistaken, what you seem contrive as any affections for you are somewhat half-hearted. I was merely attempting to expand my network of interest by involving you in my daily recreation. Heretofor, you can expect an end to any verbal articulation from me...
- naging paguusap ni inday at dodong ng
magbreak sila...
"Be careful in letting go of the things you thought are just nothing because maybe someday you'll realize that the one you gave away is the very thing you've been wishing for to stay"...
- payo kay inday ng napadaang basurero
na nakikinig sa usapan nla ni dodong...
And another one:
Amo: Inday bumili ka nga ng mga isda, ay oo nga pala, inglesera ka na ngayon, would you please buy many fishes for this week's meals? Inday: Judging by your statement, I believe you meant a variety of fish. The term fishes though rarely used, connotes a plethora of different kinds of the said gilled aquatic creatures. But the most pressing question before I go to the wet market would be: what type of fish? Fillet or not? Frozen or fresh? (pauses) Ahh…given the meager budget afforded by this household's quasi-peasant class taste, I assume I shall source the staple "galewng-gong". Yes? Amo: Eh kung mag-empake ka na kaya?! ***Whew.
For me, these kinds of jokes are the best ones around. It's like taking snippets of information we frequently find inside textbooks, and adding a little bit of humour to it to make it more attractive and entertaining to read. Furthermore, they're neither obscene, indecorous, lewd, nor mundane. And in a way, they provide insightful and useful information that we can actually use and apply in our daily conversations with people. We get to encounter new vocabulary that helps us to expand our linguistic horizons, develop our intellect, and spark curiousity and creativity among us.
Most importantly, it makes us happy.
