The ladies of Surabaya (revisited, revised).

I'll conclude my trilogy on Surabaya. Back in the 1980s, I had penned this:

Have you met the ladies of Surabaya?
They look pretty in their sarong kebaya
But give them a smile
And they'll run a mile
Shouting "Jangan kachau saya"!
(Please don't bother me/Leave me alone.)

This time round, it was much harder to spot the pretty ladies in their kebaya. Instead, many were on motorbikes, like this one:


Angie was inspired to write this updated limerick:

The ladies of Surabaya
Are seldom in their kebaya
On their bikes in style
They'll ride for many a mile
Saying "Jangan meremekan saya!"
(Do not underestimate me!)

--------------------------------------------------------

Still on ladies, there seems to be a category of Hong Kong men who -- unable to "man up" -- refer to their wives pejoratively:


(Here in Singapore, BMW = Bus, MRT, Walk)

Finally, there is this joke about a man, his wife, and his secretary who forgot to separate two words with a space.

A secretary received an expensive pen as a gift from her boss. The next day, she sent him a 'Thank you' note on email. By chance, the boss' wife happened to read the email on the computer. She filed for divorce.

The email said:

"Your penis wonderful. I enjoyed using it last night. It has extra ordinary smooth flow, and a firm stroke. Initially its tip had to be given a little shake to bring it to working order and it is equally good on both sides. I love its perfect size and grip. Thank you very much for such a pleasurable gift from you."
