There was a very gracious lady who was mailing an old family Bible to her brother in another part of the country.

‘Is there anything breakable in here?’ asked the postal clerk.

‘Only the Ten Commandments. ‘ answered the lady.

‘Somebody has said there are only two kinds of people in the world. There are those who wake up in the morning and say, ‘Good morning, Lord,’ and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, ‘Good Lord, it’s morning.’

A minister parked his car in a no-parking zone in a large city because he was short of time and couldn’t find a space with a meter. Then he put a note under the windshield wiper that read: ‘I have circled the block 10 times. If I don’t park here, I’ll miss my appointment. Forgive us our trespasses.’

When he returned, he found a citation from a police officer along with this note
‘I’ve circled this block for 10 years. If I don’t give you a ticket I’ll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation.’

There is the story of a pastor who got up one Sunday and announced to his congregation: ‘I have good news and bad news.
The good news is, we have enough money to pay for our new building program. The bad news is, it’s still out there in your pockets.’

A Sunday School teacher began her lesson with a question, ‘Boys and girls, what do we know about God?’
A hand shot up in the air. ‘He is an artist!’ said the kindergarten boy.

- Our Father, who does art in Heaven… ‘

A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday weekend. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him.
Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. ‘Reverend,’ said the young man, ‘I’m so sorry about the delay..
It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.’

The minister chuckled, ‘I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.’

A father was approached by his small son who told him proudly, ‘I know what the Bible means!’
His father smiled and replied, ‘What do you mean, you ‘know’ what the Bible means?’
The son replied, ‘I do know!’
‘Okay,’ said his father. ‘What does the Bible mean?’
‘That’s easy, Daddy.’ the young boy replied excitedly,
‘It stands for ‘Basic Information Before Leaving Earth.”

Sunday after church, a Mom asked her very young daughter what the lesson was about. The daughter answered, ‘Don’t be scared, you’ll get your quilt.’
Needless to say, the Mom was perplexed.
Later in the day, the pastor stopped by for tea and the Mom asked him what that morning’s Sunday school lesson was about.
He said ‘Be not afraid, thy comforter is coming.’

VATICAN HUMOR
After getting all of Pope Benedict’s luggage loaded into the limo, (and he doesn’t travel light), the driver notices the Pope is still standing on the curb. ‘Excuse me, Your Holiness,’ says the driver, ‘Would you please take your seat so we can leave?’
‘Well, to tell you the truth,’ says the Pope, ‘they never let me drive at the Vatican when I was a cardinal, and I’d really like to drive today.’
‘I’m sorry, Your Holiness, but I cannot let you do that. I’d lose my job! What if something should happen?’ protests the driver, wishing he’d never gone to work that morning. ‘Who’s going to tell?’ says the Pope with a smile?
Reluctantly, the driver gets in the back as the Pope climbs in behind the wheel. The driver quickly regrets his decision when, after exiting the airport, the Pontiff floors it, accelerating the limo to 205 kph.
(Remember, the Pope is German.)

‘Please slow down, Your Holiness!’ pleads the worried driver, but the Pope keeps the pedal to the metal until they hear sirens.
‘Oh, dear God, I’m going to lose my license — and my job!’ moans the driver.
The Pope pulls over and rolls down the window as the cop approaches, but the cop takes one look at him, goes back to his motorcycle, and gets on the radio. ‘I need to talk to the Chief,’ he says to the dispatcher.

The Chief gets on the radio and the cop tells him that he’s stopped a limo going 205 kph. ‘So bust him,’ says the Chief.
‘I don’t think we want to do that, he’s really important,’ said the cop. The Chief exclaimed,’ All the more reason!’
‘No, I mean really important,’ said the cop with a bit of persistence.

The Chief then asked, ‘Who do you have there, the mayor?’
Cop: ‘Bigger.’
Chief: ‘ A senator?’
Cop: ‘Bigger.’
Chief: ‘The Prime Minister?’
Cop: ‘Bigger.’
Well,’ said the Chief, ‘Who is it?’
Cop: ‘I think it’s God!’
The Chief is even more puzzled and curious, ‘What makes you think it’s God?’

Cop: ‘His chauffeur is the Pope!’

See, it is not that bad after all. Have a laugh and the world can be a better place.

Deadline were missed. With this accumulated, I can’t help myself but to let my mind wander. Lingering by itself since I got myself into a troubled water with one of the project.

Hence my mind reached to a state thinking about Alex, a friend of mine who had just recently complained about never inviting him for a lunch buffet in Daidomon. This leads me to think about a word. Indirectly reminded me of a comic last time. A comic that says about the history or the origin of words. Not sure whether if it is the Ujang or Gila-gila.

The one I remembered the most was the story about the origin of an English word called “air”. Here it was stated the Englishmen once reached the shore of our country. As they were learning with the local, some kid by the name of Abu who had a can and then were trying out collecting water. One he got the water in the can, he was quite happy and running around the town shouting “air, air, air” unknowing that the can had a hole. It caused the water to leak through.

As Abu was running around, the Englishmen saw him and curiously asked him what was the word “air” about. Abu happily showed him the can which was an empty tin.

The Englishmen look into the can and thought Abu was referring to the thing inside can – the air.

According to the comic, that was the origin how the Englishmen learned about the Air and not water.

How it going to relate with Alex? Here’s my version of the origin of language. The Malay language was adopted from many other languages. One of them is from the Chinese.

It begins back in the era of Cheng Ho when the China sent their teacher to teach Parameswara some language. The teacher brought a pet – the dog. In this story, Parameswara never saw a dog before so he was pretty afraid from the dog that the teacher bring.

Being afraid, he pointed to the teacher and making some noise. Alarmed with that, the teacher scolded Parameswara “An Jing” which means 安静 or be quiet in another way.

Thus, when every time Parasmeswara was pointing his finger to the dog and making noise, the teacher will yell the same “安静” over again.

By then, Parameswara thought the dog was called Anjing and from there on, the dog is called anjing. =D

yes, I know its pretty much lame.

Being drowsy and sleepy, I was half open my eyes when I read the sms around 8ish in the morning. My head was spinning when I saw a sms:-

My father passed away this morning

Since I was informed, I straight without thinking straight decided to forward the news to everyone that know Linpeh. I typed the sms …

and ended up with numerous phone calls from Wingz, Ah Nel, Nyonya Penang, Angel, and many more bloggers. Someone told me that she saw the post from Wingz blog and ended up have a good laugh out of it.

What else I can do when I was not myself that morning. I managed to pay the respect in the night. I informed Linpeh about the post and he went to check it. He shake his head and was speechless in the end. Perhaps he was too tired to fark me upside down. He knew it is unintentional.

Oh well…

Big apologize to those I got them into seizure or heart attack mode.
