Here is a spiel of an LRT operator:

"Mag-ingat lang po tayo sa mga mandurukot."

Which is followed by a purported spiel addendum.

"Sa mga mandurukot, mag-ingat kayo sa amin."

It’s either the operator must have only forgotten to turn off the mic or you’re hearing it from an imaginative story-teller.

Check another MRT experience.

Richard threw a cigarette butt in a trash can from a distance of a meter.

The American guy beside him remarked, "Good throw! Can you do it twice?"

Richard shrugged.

It got me thinking though of the myriad ways he could have replied. "I’m lucky when it’s Friday the 13th." Or "Let’s have a wager. A hundred bucks if I do it again." Or "I’m a basketball player." Or "I’m a volleyball player." Etc.

But then, I’m just a blogger.

The Anitokid, Boolby, Fat Guy and Broken Bow were chatting one afternoon about theFortuner SUV. We were debunking the myth that the vehicle’s front tires are different from its back tires in terms of size.

One concluded, "That can’t be possible since it is just so impractical to have two spare tires!"

Of course! There can only be one spare tire. Which reminds me of impractical things like this one I found from the Foximus - the electronic version of Paper, Rock and Scissors.
