After dinner tonight, Maw decided to call Manang Inday. For all I know, the old fart was making lots of humorous jokes to Maw, who got tummy spasms from laughing out loud and too much.
Joke One:
There was a prince residing in Dubai. He needed a blood transfusion because of his failing kidney. There was no match until a nice nurse from Ilocos Norte gave him some of her blood for tranfusions periodically. She did this for awhile until one of her friends inquired if he ever sent her any thanks or gratitude for her kindness. She relied, “No. I’m too ashamed to ask him.”
But one day, the kindly young nurse had decided to visit the ailing prince and wanted to know if he would ever do something in return for her blood. Of course, he replied: “You see, I am next in line and heir to the throne. With all the wealth that I could hope to gain, I cannot reciprocate because your blood in running inside.”
Hint: The joke is more cultural in which Ilocos are noted to be quite “thrifty” to say the least.
Joke Two:
There was a tour bus with lots of people. The bus approached a rest area and a couple of guys needed to use the toilet. After a few minutes, everyone was rested enough to board the tour bus and take off to site see the rest of the place. However, the two guys were missing. Out of curiosity, the tour guide (and bus driver) decided to find out what is taking these two so long. What he found was that the two fools were cleaning the bathroom!
“Why are both of you cleaning the bathroom? It’s time to go, now!” exclaimed the befuddled tour guide/bus driver.
“No, sir.” Said one guy. “We have to clean the bathroom. Can’t you read the sign? It says: “CLEAN BATHROOM”.
Joke Three:
Imelda Marcos wanted her husband to win presidency. So she went to Quiapo to pray to the Lord.
“Lord! Please hear my prayers. Let my husband win the presidency; so I can buy lots of shoes and go abroad.” Imelda prayed in earnest sincerity.
Then Jesus appeared to Imelda saying: “You should be lucky woman that I’m nailed to the cross. I would get down from here and slap you for being so selfish!”

The phone conversation between the two old farts ended at around 8:00pm tonight.

Joke Four:
Ferdinand Marcos died and went to heaven. But before he went through the pearly gates, he met St. Peter.
St. Peter asked the Iloco: “What do the letters IRNI mean and why did you place that placard over your gravestone?”
Ferdinand replied: “IRNI stands for Ilocos Regional North One. And that’s so people know where I came from!”

I suppose the caller is Ilocos.
