Philippine Puns

A Manilla folder!

A Manila folder.

He was known only as the Manila Folder!!

Would their child be a Jalapeño?

Met a nice Korean girl while sitting in the airport. I realized we had a lot of stuff in common, so we exchanged numbers before I left, and we're still friends today.

Sometimes I call her my Seoul Mate, but I don't know.

Me (reading a fun fact): The Philippine island of Luzon is home to a lake which is home to another island, which is home to its own lake which is home to its own island. Dad: so it's a big target? Mom: how do you know it's not a big Walmart?

Was getting coffee from the coffee machine when the machine said: "Fill Beans"

So I turned to my coworker and said: "Who is this Fill Beans?"

To which he responded: "I think he's from the Philippines"

Context:

• I currently live and study in the Philippines

• One Philippine Peso (₱) 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 ₱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: ₱3 for 5 pieces?

They chuckle in shame. They then correct me:

FRA: No, 3 pieces for ₱5 pesos

Me: Grandma I like that dress did you get it from the Philippines?

GF: No look at the flower print it's from Hawaii

Me: Ah, I didn't know that belonged to a...Spacific Island
