Hi kopi chatterers!

Time really flies ~~~ another two months to the end of 2014 … ooohlala!

I’m arranging our next coffee chat in November.  I’m trying a new day in the week .. Hope this is a refreshing change? .. Details are as follows:

  • Date:   Thursday, 13 November 2014
  • Time:   2 – 4 pm (on a lazy afternoon)
  • Venue:  Our usual haunt viz: Paya Lebar food court, B2 of Singpost Paya Lebar (easy access for everyone since it’s just next to the Paya Lebar mrt station and you’re well-sheltered from the station to the foodcourt)
  • Agenda: No specific agenda ~ can chat on anything under the sun  but no no to politics, sex, religion  (taboos of the shc: otherwise fairy godmother will come wielding a stick)
  • Cuisine: All types of food/beverages … just pay for your own orders… A Kopitiam card entitles you to a 10% discount.

Hope to see more friends joining in an afternoon of fun and laughter ya?  Wd appreciate if you could note this date/time in your diary or handphone and reply ASAP..

Thanks once again for your continued support.

Cheers & warm regards,

Gabriella

    TWO undergraduate students were having a lesson break. Sitting in the corner of a field within the campus, the boy and girl started to chat. The girl was mischievous.

    Girl, “Give me a dollar and I will show you my parts that have made me a dance ace”.
    The boy gave her a dollar. The girl took off her shoes and showed her pair of slender legs, from knee to toes.

    Girl, “Give me another dollar and I will show you the areas that are making me a good tennis player”.
    The boy gave her a dollar. The girl lifted her skirt and showed her firm and strong thighs.

    Girl, “Give me $10 and I will show you the spot that will deliver my baby in future”.
    The boy was shocked. Curiosity overcame him, and with his face half turned away, gave the girl $10.

    “Look”, the girl said.

    The boy looked where she was pointing.

    “Across the road there is a hospital and there is a maternity ward”.

  12. Hi DC (aka GK)

    HAHAHA!!! Tks for the teaser … :-) I appreciate.
    Others ~feel free to contribute too…

    After all:

    “A sense of humour makes a man handsome”

    “Benefits of laughing
    – reduces heart disease
    – natural painkiller
    – improves breathing
    – helps you lose weight
    – gives good sleep
    – decreases stress
    – makes you look young

    There’s no reason not to LAUGH! ”

    Cheerio …. 3 more days to go before the kopi chat on Thursday ~

  13. Pre Kopi-Chat giggle 2

    A college student doing Civil Engineering was on a practical project in a village. He was to study the irrigation process and recommend improvements. One day, walking along the muddy field, he realised that he had forgotten his watch. He saw an old farmer lying under the shade of a tree and with a few cows grazing around him.

    “Hello Mr.”, said the student, “Can you tell me what time it is now?”
    The man moved to a cow nearby, squeezed her teat and said, “It is 10.12 am”. The student was surprised. Thinking it was a joke he went his way.

    The student passed the man with his cows again in the afternoon, this time with a hand phone that could tell the correct time. He wanted to test the man.
    “What time please?” asked the student.
    Again the man squeezed the teat of a cow and said, “It is 1.07 pm”.
    The student checked his phone. Sure enough, it was 1.07 pm. He thought the man could have a secret way to tell time but felt too proud to ask how.

    He went back to his work place, took out his laptop and searched the Internet for help. He googled, he yahooed, he wikipediaed and he called his lecturers. None could offer an answer. He walked back to the field to look for the old man.

    “What time exactly, Sir?”
    The man upon recognising the student, grudgingly squeezed the teat of a cow and said loudly, “5.25 PM”. The student looked at his phone. On the dot, the time was right. Unable to resist any more, he asked, “Grandpa, can you tell me how to tell the time from a cow’s udder?” The old timer signalled to the student to come closer to him.

    As the boy lay prone on the ground, the senior man pushed away the lower part of the cow and said,

    “See that building there. There is a digital clock at the rooftop”.

    (Note – you could have read something similar somewhere. No harm reading another variation here, designed to make fun of students who think they are smart. I will have a joke every day, till coffee chat. Remember to tune in for more. Join coffee chat for more laughter.)

  16. Hi DC
    Tks for making my kopi chat so captivating… haha!

    To keep up with our GK, don’t you think I should also add a couple of humourous teasers?

    “Coffee is like Men,
    The best ones are Rich,
    Strong and Keep you
    Up ALL night long.”

    “Coffee smells like freshly ground heaven.”

    “A cup of coffee shared with a friend
    is happiness tasted and time well spent.”

    Cheerio

  17. Pre Kopi-Chat giggle 3 (A and B)

    (A) A father was trying to educate his teenage-son the bad effect of consuming alcohol. He called his son to the table. He poured liquor into one glass and plain water into another. Then he put a worm each into the glass. The worm in the alcohol died while the other in the water was swimming.

    “See. Tell me son, what is the effect of alcohol?”
    “Oh, I know dad. It means if you drink alcohol there will be no worm in your body”.

    (B) A woman was having an affair with the postman when her drunkard husband came home. The lover was frightened and wanted to jump out of the window.

    “Take it easy. He is so drunk he will not even notice you.”
    So both remained in bed while the intoxicated man joined in.
    “Hey. There are six legs”, the husband shouted, as he saw the legs protruding from the blanket.
    “Nonsense. You are so drunk you cannot even count. Get out of the bed and count again”, said the woman.
    The blur toad staggered out of bed and counted 4 legs.
    “You are right. I am really drunk”, he said as he returned to bed.

    One more “giggle” before our chat tomorrow. No worry. No alcohol. Coffee, tea or me.

  22. As this is the final episode (for this season), I am pushing the OB marker a bit more. I must apologise to some members for mentioning the “unmentionables”. Have a break. Have a coffee chat.

    Pre Kopi-Chat giggle 4 (A and B)

    This is prevalent in many countries, including China, I heard. Naked truth or otherwise, cannot resist playing a joke on it.

    (A) A boy was at the nudist beach with his parents.
    “Mom, why do some women have big breasts while others are smaller?”
    “Son, the bigger they are, the dumber she is”, said the mother.
    The boy seemed satisfied and went to play in the sea.
    After a while, he asked his mother again,
    “Mom, why do some men have big units while others are smaller?”
    “Son, the bigger it is, the dumber he is”, replied mom
    After some time, the boy came to his mother and said,
    “Mom, dad is talking to the dumbest woman on the beach and the more they talk, the dumber he becomes”.

    There are students who like to flaunt their knowledge indiscriminately. Make them eat humble pie. Here is one.

    (B) In an English class, a teacher was reminding students of a test the following day.
    “It is an extremely important test. Make sure you are present. Unless you are so sick that you need to be hospitalised, you must come and take the test.”
    The smart alec male student, known to be good in English, shouted from the back of the class,
    “Teacher, how about extreme physical exhaustion after intense biological exertion?”
    The whole class laughed and wondered how the teacher would react.
    “Write with your other hand”, the teacher said calmly.

    That’s all folks!
    See you at Sin Post, Paya Lebar afternoon.

    DC

  26. Wow…today’s the day!

    And I hope that I can make it! I see some very old familiar names and would like to catch up with you all.
    Other than some Mary “pop-ins”… Yes, do remember an umbrella during these wet days!

    Hee hee, Daniel… If the jokes are what the meeting will bring, I’m sure we will have a rollicking time!
