Hello, are you alive?

Just last weekend I was watching Naruto Shippuden episode 10. There were 2 old people sitting next to a pond, 1 old man and 1 old lady. The old lady was holding a fishing rod while sleeping. The old man called out to his sister(the old lady), but she did not respond to him. He called a few times and got a little worried, then he said..."Oi, are you dead?" The old lady slumped forward and the fishing rod fell from her hands...... then just before the rod hit the water she grabbed it and said "HAH, fooled you! You thought I was dead didn't you?"

Well ok, that might be something we expect to see in anime or cartoons, but apparently it happens in real life too.

Maid : Gong gong..its time to wake up....
(No response)

Maid: (touches his arm) Gong gong, morning already...

(Still No response)

Maid: (Getting worried and shakes him) Are you OK? Wake up, wake up !

(Silence for a few moments)

Grandpa: Suddenly starts giggling

Maid: .....

Grandpa: BwaHahahaha, you thought I was dead didnt you?

Maid: .............. not funny....


Well, after that the maid complained to my mum, she said she almost got a heart attack, coz she thought he died in his sleep. My grandmother actually died in her sleep a few years ago and this same maid was also the one that found out when she tried to wake her.

Do you know what day it is?

The question that strikes fear into the hearts of many men. "Dear, do you know what day is this?" And the answer is certainly not Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday. Frantically the guy will rack his brains, going through the list of birthdays, anniversaries and other important dates. For some guys, they pretend to have not forgotten. For some, they pretend to have known all along and try to trick the ladies to disclose the occasion by playing along with the conversation. Anyway I thought yesterdays conversation was rather amusing.


Me: hey do you know what tomorrow is?
Him: Uh......
Me: You know, being April and all
Him: Uh yea, yea.... so you want to go out for dinner?
Me: ... you dont know what date it is, do you?
Him: I think I know lar... April ma, around this date ma.
Me: Uh... actually its our 2 year working anniversary, we started working exactly 2 years ago on this date. I thought I'd just see if you remembered.
Him: Oh......
Me: Although the other anniversary is also coming up, but its not on 11th of April la. You forgot the real date RIGHT?
Him: Uh........
