A young officer on a small vessel was being tested on his knowledge of what to do if someone fell overboard while he was in charge of the ship. A big can was thrown into the sea, and the officer had to pretend it was a man who had fallen in and try to save it. The officer was inexperienced, and the first thing that happened was that the can was pulled under by the ship’s propeller (chân vịt). The officer quickly stopped the ship and went backwards. There was a loud crash as he truck the can again. Then he went forwards, went around in a circle, and struck the can once more straight in front of the ship.
A sailor who was observing all this now said, “Excuse me, sir, but if I’m ever unfortunate enough to fall into the sea while you’re steering the ship, please let me swim to shore by myself.”
A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an Old Indian went up to the director and said, “Tomorrow rain.”
The next day it rained. A week later, the Indian went up to the director and said, “Tomorrow storm.” The next day there was a hailstorm.
“This Indian is incredible,” said the director.
He told his secretary to hire the Indian to predict the weather. However, after several successful predictions, the old Indian didn’t show up for two weeks. Finally the director sent for him.
“I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow,” said the director, “and I’m depending on you. What will the weather be like?”
The Indian shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t know,” he said. “Radio is broken.”
A mother took her little boy to church. While in church the little boy said.
“Mommy, I have to pee.”
The mother said to the little boy, “It’s not appropriate to say the word “pee” in church. From now on when you have to “pee” just tell me that you have to whisper.”
The following Sunday, the little boy went to church with his father and during the service said to his father:
“Daddy, I have to whisper.”
The father looked at him and said,
“Okay, why don’t you whisper in my ear.”
“Why do you beg?”
“The truth is I beg to get money for booze (drink).”
“Why do you drink?”
“To give me the courage to beg”.
