Ignorant driver

September 25, 2010 | 12:00am

AMBULANCE IGNORANCE. An ambulance on an emergency run was seen the other day along Osmeña Blvd. Because of the heavy traffic, the ambulance went against the flow and used the opposite lane. A jeepney driver who saw it said, “Pataka la’g agi ning ambulansya o!”

NURSE LECTURE. An irritated nurse passenger who heard his comment gave him a lecture on ambulance runs. The nurse ended her lecture with, “Ayaw pataka’g yawit diha. Emergency na. Kinabuhi ang gitabang ana. Asa man intawon na nimo nakuha imong lisensiya? Nibayad ra ka’g tig lubag sa. Nagpaklaro lang ka sa imong pagka ignorante.”
