Fact of Life?

Amid the gloom and doom let’s take some times to laugh and laugh at ourselves. Share a light-hearted moment here with us and chase away all the worries.

Here is one, courtesy of Jeff Gan:

A girl brings her boyfriend home to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother tells her father, a business tycoon, to find out about the young man.  He invites the boy to join him for green tea in his study.
 
“So what are your plans?” the father asks the boy.
“I am a religious scholar and want to marry your daughter,” he replies.
 
“A scholar,” the father says. “Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, and to which she is accustomed?”
“I will study,” the young man replies, “and God will provide for us.”
 
“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?” asks the father.
“I will concentrate on my studies,” the young man replies, “God will provide for us.”
 
“And children?” asks the father. “How will you support children?”
“Don’t worry, sir, God will provide,” replies the boy.
 

The conversation proceeds like this, and each time the father questions him, the boy insists that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks, “Well, how did it go?”
 

The father answers, “He has no job and no plans, but the good news is that he thinks I’m God.”

  1. Hi Dan,
    I rarely log in as I am very often busy with my work. Glad you like it and for that, me and Irene would like to invite you to our Coffee 3 in1 wildest party of the year on the 23 rd November Saturday at NTU Alumni 3rd Floor Yunnan Gardens Seafood Ballroom. If you can make it, please sms me . I will send you an invitation card to you with full details. Cheers and be happy always.

  2. Hi Dan/Jeff.. yes i like this joke too.

    Those who like to have a good laugh & some fun laughter exercise with music, can join us on Tuesdays @ 7:30pm at Siglap South CC. It’s actually an Interest Group event, organised by the CC, and conducted by one of our very own SHC member. For those who wish to have more infor on this wonderful event, pls email or sms me. I went for the first trial session this week, and WOW.. was I hooked on it .. had a good night’s sleep and feel refreshed & light the following days..

    They say Laughter is the best medicine… I was rather sceptical at first, but now, I am convinced.

  3. Hi Lydia,
    May I know if you are going to be the EC for this laughing exercise actvity? If you are, you may want to create a thread for this and please remember no mention of non members name or clubs who are not registered with SHC. All ECs must attend the event they are coordinating.
    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Enjoy!
    Caroline

  4. Hi Lydia

    One more question. Who is the member organising this event because if the person is a member, then his or her name need be mentioned.

    Thank you
    Caroline

  5. Hi Caroline.. I had emailed you regarding this, not sure if you’ve received my email? I actually wrote up a thread, with full details, but it was not approved by our Chief. The post never appeared, for whatever reasons, I don’t know! Maybe I had violated some SHC rules! I thought our Taboo rule is NO Sex, No Politics, No MLM !! Gosh, this is a laughter-sessions, which our Chief had given his blessings when I first spoke to him .. So why was my posting rejected, I just could not see the daylight of it.

    Anyway, life goes on.. and after attending the first session, this non-issue doesnt bother me anymore! I am laughing at this whole episode.. it’s putting what I’ve learnt into practive.. hee hee.. ha..ha..

    The person who is conducting this HaHa Club is non other than our very own SHC member Peter Tan. Though he says he is having some problems with his membership, which I’m still trying to understand what is actually happening!

    And yes, I hv attended the first trial session, and will continue to do so, for the next run of 8 sessions, as I find it very refreshing.

    Thanks for your comments, Caroline. Your care & concern is much appreciated.

    It’s been a long time we had jokes on our forum. Hope to see more of it.

    Cheers, LydiaC.

  6. HOW TO START A FIGHT!

    One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift…
    The next year, I didn’t buy her a gift.
    When she asked me why, I replied,
    “Well, you still haven’t used the gift I bought you last year!”
    And that’s how the fight started…..

    ______________________________

    My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.
    I turned to her and said, ‘Do you want to have Sex?’
    ‘No,’ she answered. I then said,
    ‘Is that your final answer?’
    She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying, ‘Yes..’
    So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.”
    And that’s when the fight started…

    ________________________________

    I took my wife to a restaurant.
    The waiter, for some reason, took my order first.
    “I’ll have the rump steak, rare, please.”
    He said, “Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?”
    “Nah, she can order for herself.”
    And that’s when the fight started…..

    ________________________________

    My wife and I were sitting at a table at her high school reunion, and she
    kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.
    I asked her, “Do you know him?”
    “Yes”, she sighed,
    “He’s my old boyfriend…. I understand he took to drinking right after we
    split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn’t been sober since.”
    “My God!” I said, “Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?”
    And then the fight started…

    ________________________________

    When our lawn mower broke and wouldn’t run, my wife kept hinting to me
    that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take
    care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer.. Always something more
    important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.
    When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily
    snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for
    a short time and then went into the house.. I was gone only a minute, and
    when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, “When you finish
    cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway.”
    The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

  8. Hi Lydia

    There is no record of Peter Tan’s membership in SHC. As such, his name cannot be mentioned in the thread and it cannot be claimed that the sessions are conducted by a member.

    As for matters relating to his SHC membership registration, you should speak with him to find out more.

    I am glad to know the laughter therapy works well with you.

    Enjoy!

    Cheers
    Carly
