I want to thank everyone for submitting your jokes, it’s good practice to be able to express yourself in English and laugh at the same time.  Here’s a couple of funny commercials from US TV:


1. There’s a commercial for an optometrist office where a lady needs glasses because she can’t see very well.  She lives in a wooded area and opens the front door to her house to let her cat in.  She says: “Here Kitty, Kitty” and a raccoon walks in!


2. There was a commercial of an oil company that sells some high performance gasoline and says if you buy this gasoline you’ll put a tiger in your car’s fuel tank.  A motorist says, “how can I get a tiger in my tank when I can’t get my wife to ride in the front seat?”

Criz.   poor caller ,  instead of putting her  through , the operator  made her pissed off with  his  responses.                                                                                                                  Yes, no good action goes unrewarded

Hello dear Lesya, I think it’s true, can we call that multi-tasker? :D

Julito…..... Let say it is your saving for kindness hehehe if you do good thing, it will turns good to you :D Ciayoooo 


Today I caught a nice humor, hope you guys like it!!

Caller : Hello, can I speak to Annie Wan(anyone) 
Operator : Yes, you can speak to me.

Caller : No, I want to speak to Annie Wan (anyone)!

Operator : You are talking to someone! Who is this?

Caller : I’m Sam Wan (Someone). And I need to talk to Annie Wan (anyone)! It’s urgent.

Operator : I know you are someone and you want to talk to anyone! But what’s this urgent matter about?

Caller : Well… just tell my sister Annie Wan (anyone) that our brother Noe Wan (no one) was involved in an accident. Noe Wan (no one) got injured and now Noe Wan (no one) is being sent to the hospital. Right now, Avery Wan (everyone) is on his way to the hospital.

Operator : Look if no one was injured and no one was sent to the hospital, then the accident isn’t an urgent matter! You may find this hilarious but I don’t have time for this, you moron!


Caller : You are so rude! Who are you?
Operator : I’m Saw Lee (Sorry).
Caller : Yes! You should be sorry. Now give me your name!!
