i received this email fr Mr Terry Lim
quite funny so wanna share this with my readers

Dear Hokkien-speaking friends,

Laugh until you kee siao!

Dr. Quek made a routine house call to Mr. Lim, one of his elderly patients.
He asks, 'And how are you doing today, Mr. Lim?'

Mr. Lim replies, 'I feel just fine, doc. But you know, it's the
strangest thing.

Every night when I get up to pang jio, the bathroom light goes on for me
automatically when I open the door!'

The doctor is worried that the old man is getting senile, so he
phones the man's son, and the son's wife answers.

The doctor tells her, 'Mrs. Lim, I'm a little concerned about
your father-in-law.

It seems that when he gets up to urinate at night and opens the
bathroom door, the light somehow goes on....'

At which point, Mrs. Lim yells, 'Aiyoh, Ah Seng! Ah Pa pang jio
in the fridge again!'
