Husband dyes gray hair black, wifey gets mad

NEVER, NEVER DYE. A government employee in his mid 50s got into trouble with his wife one afternoon recently. An Ear informer said the man had his graying hair dyed pitch black. His jealous wife resented it and vowed never to sleep with him unless he had his hair turn gray again. "Duna tingali kay giibid-ibiran no? Nganong nipatina man kas imong buhok," the wife said. The husband left the house in anger. And returned home the next morning with his hair shaven off clean. The wife, still, not appeased growled: "Hoy buang, nganong nagpa-upaw ka." The husband could only shake his head.

NOISY PLANE PASSENGERS. A schoolteacher told fellow teachers about an experience she had on board an airliner from Manila to Cebu recently. She said there was a group of girls - maybe six of them - who were very noisy. They would talk in Nippongo and then laugh their lungs out. "They were OFWs from Japan who seemed proud about their having been in Japan," the teacher told her colleagues. "Daghan kaayog mga alahas sa liog, sa kamot, sa tiil, sa dunggan." Many other passengers were irritated. An American couple moved to distant vacant seats. "Grabeng mga bayhana, pakauwaw lang," the teacher said.
