Ah Cheng Buey Ro Ti
Once upon a time, a group of Ah Bengs stepped into a lounge and wanted the
DJ to play the song "Ah Cheng Buey Ro Ti" (In Hokkien meaning Ah Cheng buys
bread)
The DJ told them that they only have English songs and told them to
re-select another song. The Ah Bengs were indignant and kicked up a big
fuss, claiming that the DJ was insulting them. The manager had to intervene
in order to calm them down. Finally, after many hours of talking, the
manager managed to find out that the Ah Bengs were actually asking for the
song "Unchained Melody" by the Righteous Brothers.
One day, two Ah Lians got into a lift from the 20th storey of a building and
wanted to get down to the ground floor. As they looked at the dial , they
could see the number 20 down to number 2. It was then followed by a G. As
they were not English-educated, they were puzzled and really had no idea
what does the letter G mean. Suddenly one of them exclaimed excitedly and
hit G. When they finally reached the ground floor, the other Ah Lian was so
impressed and asked the first Ah Lian, "Wow, how you know one?"
The first Ah Lian reply smugly, "Easy lah.. G for Gero mah..."
