There was once two very poor Filipino guys from the countryside where farming communities has been steadily given way to more lucrative job markets in the city. Both have been out of work, have family to support and are the verge of starvation and eviction from their rented space of relatives. One day each decided to rob a bank for much needed cash.
The first guy seemed very burly and packed a big pistol. He went up to the teller and said, ‘Give me all you money.’ When the teller refused once, the man got upset and pointed his handgun up in the air. The sounds ‘BANG! BANG! BANG‘ soon followed. And this frightened the teller, who gave up whatever money the burly man wanted and didn’t want to get hurt because he was too big and scary. Noone was harmed during the incident and the man managed to escape to live happily ever after.
The second guy seemed very frail and packed a smaller pistol. He went up to the teller and said in a weak voice, ‘Give me all your money.’ The teller couldn’t hear the man and asked, ‘What did you say?’ The man tried asking the same question but in a louder tone. But still the teller couldn’t hear the man. After a third attempt, the man got impatient and pointed his handgun up in the air, too. The sounds ‘Aye-putok! Aye-putok! Aye-putok!‘ was heard and that made the teller laugh out loud because she knew that this one was a not a dude like the burly man but a dud. Noone was harmed during this incident and because he was too slow to escape, he ended up in jail.
Author’s note: Credit for this joke goes to ‘Shiva-Paw’, who has been telling me joke for the longest time but I had never gotten a chance to enter as a blog. Added more detail to the storyline of his shortened version.
