My Turf

I have long wanted to make a compilation of all the conversation boo-boos that made me laugh. I am slightly irritated that I did not jot them down soon as I heard them, and I now find it difficult to recall many of the really funny ones.

Hence, I want to make this a habit so that I will not lose those side-splitting "Oops!" lines that somehow helped brighten my day:

1. One telemarketer in our office was giving a motivational speech. As she described how the office setup was back when she was new in the company, she said, "Marami ng mga changes na nagbago…"

(Hmmm. Change na nga nabago pa!)

2. An officemate who collapsed on his way home one night was telling me that he would be taking a stress test as part of his general checkup. Curious, I asked him what they make you do in a stress test. He answered, "Para ma-check nila yung heart rate mo, patatakbuhin ka nila sa WINDMILL."  –> Yeah, gym folks, he meant "Treadmill."

(Takbo daw sa Windmill, o?! Nakaka-stress nga yun! Nakakahilo pa!)

3. A friend’s uncle sent me his new number via SMS. His message went, "Hi, Chit! Si Tito X ito. This is my number. Text box!"

(Unang-una, Tito, ang pangalan ko ay "Che" at hindi "Chit." Pangalawa, lagi naman po akong nagre-reply sa mga messages without having ot be  told. I always "text box." HAHAHA!)

4. Another officemate, massaging his temples, grimacing in pain. We asked what’s wrong. He said, "Ang sakit ng headache ko!"

(Ewan ko sa’yo!)

5. A couple of kids playing in a coffee shop. They were playing Jack and Poy. They chanted, "Jack and Poy! Hale-hale-hoy! Sinong matalo, siyang si SPIDERMAN!"

(The unggoy has turned into Spiderman! Tsk, tsk, tsk. Kids nowadays…)
