Think Out of The Box, Learn from the Joke...

Sometimes, reading jokes can wisen you up. Many students brush up on their English language through comics but it is also a form of amusement that can lessen your boredom. By uttering a wisecrack, you not only create laughter but also increase your knowledge on certain English verbs. You tend to remember funny anecdotes more than ordinary readings. One of the ‘Bar Room Jokes’ in FFM Magazine might not create much laughter but teaches us about real life experiences. Let’s see what you think. Below is the joke:

Once upon a time, there was a non-conforming sparrow who decided not to go south with his fellow flock mates. However, the weather soon turned so cold that he reluctantly decided to fly south. In a short time, ice began to form on his wings and he fell to the earth in a barnyard, nearly frozen solid. A cow passed by where he had fallen, and crapped on the little sparrow. The sparrow thought it was the end, but the manure warmed him and defrosted his wings! Warm and happy, able to breath, he started to sing. Just then, a large cat came by and hearing the chirping, investigated the sound. The cat cleared away the manure, found the chirping bird, and promptly ate him.

Now, do you know what the moral behind the story is? Everyone who craps on you is not necessarily your enemy. Everyone who gets you out of crap is not necessarily your friend. And if you are warm and comfortable you might just want to keep your mouth shut!
