Hokkien speak brings us home

This just came in the mail from a new friend in Dubai. They are also from Singapore. I am putting this up so that one day we will remember that hokkien jokes are especially fun when you are away from so many hokkien spouting friends back home!

Dear Hokkien-speaking friends,
Laugh until you kee siao!


Dr. Quek made a routine house call to Mr. Lim, one of his elderly patients. He asks, 'And how are you doing today, Mr. Lim?'

Mr. Lim replies, 'I feel just fine, doc. But you know, it's the strangest thing. Every night when I get up to pang jio, the bathroom light goes on for me automatically when I open the door!'

The doctor is worried that the old man is getting senile, so he phoned the man's son, and the son's wife answers.

The doctor tells her, 'Mrs. Lim, I'm a little concerned about your father-in-law.
It seems that when he gets up to urinate at night and opens thebathroom door, the light somehow goes on....'


At which point, Mrs. Lim yells, 'Aiyoh, Ah Seng! Ah Pa pang jio in the fridge again!'
