A length of freeway walked into a bar, and yelled out "I'm the meanest bit of road west of the Pesos, nobody wanna mess with me!"
Then some duplicated overpass walked into the bar. "Anybody think they're tough enough to take on this piece of transit infrastructure? Well, are ya?"
Finally a stretch of dual carriageway walked into the bar. "This bad boy is badder than all you weaklings, whaddya gonna do about it!"
As they were all glaring at each other in a Mexican standoff, some bicycle laneway walked into the bar, threw a chair out of the way and kicked over a table. "I'm the roughest, toughest, meanest, baddest piece of asphalt there is! You're all soft snowflakes! Ain't anyone who has the guts to take me on!"
The first three roadways all immediately turned to the bar and started meekly sipping their drinks, trying to look inconspicuous. The bartender asked them "What's the matter, are you going to let him get away with that? Why don't you stand up to him?"
"We aren't going to mess with him", they replied, "He's a real cycle path".
He needs a change of peso.
Jeff Pesos.
He handed me a penny and said, "It's the least I can do."
A Pace Making Pace Makered Peso Maker.
The tour guid told an offensive joke about pesos, so I started to leave. He said "stop that was not what I mint"
They canβt afford to peso much here!
Context:
-
I currently live and study in the Philippines
-
One Philippine Peso (β±) is approximately 1/40 a dollar. Go check the conversion ratio if you doubt.
-
A single stick of this choco wafer stick right here (called Stick-O) usually costs at about β±1
-
I study in a college where student organizations are prevalent and their means of collecting funds is by Fund Raising Activity, i.e., selling consumables to students (usually food at exorbitant retail prices)
Every single time when I see an organization member doing his/her FRA selling Stick-O's, I ask...
Me: How much is that?
FRA: Three for five.
Me: β±3 for 5 pieces?
They chuckle in shame. They then correct me:
FRA: No, 3 pieces for β±5 pesos
