Filipino Jokes Translated for Western Tastes Part 5
This is the fifth part of my series post about Filipino jokes translated for Western audiences. Please check out Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and part 4 if you haven't read them already.
The Dolphin votes on the 4th part of the post have encouraged me to keep going. Maybe the 5th time's the charm for the "miracle votes" to come back? (Fingers-crossed this time).
There are still many more good jokes that need translating. These jokes are the products of Filipinos' creativity, ingenuity, and love of social drinking.
So enjoy and Steem on!

Common Sense
A kid submitted his art work to the art teacher...
TEACHER: Why is your work blank?
KID: Sir, I drew a cow in a grassy patch.
TEACHER: (Looking at paper) Where's the grass?
KID: Gone, the cow ate it.
TEACHER: (Scratching his head) So where's the cow?

Annulment
A couple went to Court to have their marriage annuled.
JUDGE: What's the reason for annulment?
WIFE: (Head bowed while speaking) Your Honor, he's only after my body.
JUDGE: Do you have any proof?
WIFE: (Head still bowed) Everytime we make love, he covers my head with a towel!
JUDGE: And you, Sir? Why do you do that?
HUSBAND: No comment, your Honor. Just see for yourself.
WIFE: (Now angrily facing the Judge) See how rude he is!
JUDGE: (Looking at the wife) Annulment petition granted! You, Sir, why did you wait to file the annulment? I admire your patience and guts!

Follow me as @darthnava: “I sense great fear in you, Steemwalker. You have Steem… you have SBD… but you don’t use them.”
Ayos!
Some great ones here Darthnava :D
Yes, I think so too.
There were a few there that I really liked.
Thanks @darthnava!
Thanks, @papa-pepper. It was difficult trying to choose which jokes that could click with Western audiences.
Oh, I just meant that I prefer clean jokes... like really clean, as opposed to off-color humor.
Some of the ones you shared I just moved past, but still enjoyed some of what you had to offer, so upvote and comment, you know?
Also, my preference in humor in rare, so I wouldn't take it as an accurate reading on what westerners enjoy!
OK, I'll try to balance my jokes so everyone can dig in.
That post seemed like a good mix!

Thank you for sharing your culture and it's humour with us on the blockchain man. :)
Omigosh! Thank you, for the compliment, Master Witness @klye!
No no, No need to thank ole KLYE. Thank you for bringing something I'd never heard of before to the platform for me to read. The Filipino culture actually looks pretty close to what we've got in Canada save a few changes here or there.
Very neat posts. Keep it up darthnava. :)
Haha! Saw this in chat, new follower now. Good stuff, thank you
I'm glad you liked it, Sir.
@darthnava - still funnier in Tagalog ;)
Yes, unfortunately, there are no Whales that speak Tagalog.
@darthnava - true and if you wrote this in Tagalog - that's plagiarism :(
I had a lol at some - translating in Tagalog -
keep writing anyway!
