I laughed. And I laughed and laughed when I heard the jokes that I am reproducing in this column. The stories here, by the way, are dedicated to ESPERANZA TALAVERA SANCHEZ. She loves dyoks, especially Pinoy dyoks. So, enjoy.

"ikaw ba ‘yan, Dado?" tanong ni Rodel.

"Oo," sagot ni Rodel.

"Parang Hindi totoo," bulalas ni Rodel. "O, ano, meron bang basketbol sa langit?"

Sagot ni Dado, "May maganda at masama akong balita sa ‘yo. Ang maganda, may basketbol doon. Ang masama … kasali ka sa makakalaban namin bukas!"

I always save the best for last. This is in line with what my colleague, ROMY MARQUEZ, said in his column, "Password" last week, about the Filipino fondness and propensity of attaching "assumed titles" to their names.

"We have a proliferation of doctors, lawyers, engineers, queens, military officers, journalists, publishers, etc.," he wrote. "Every conceivable area is covered so much so that the ordinary folks are quite a rare specie in danger of extinction."

"We have doctor this and doctor that, Ph.D. this, Ph.D. that, from some obscure colleges in the Philippines or in the United States, most likely from correspondence schools that mass-produced diplomas faster that one could open a purse," he added. (Editor’s Note: To humor further the readers of Ka Jesse Jose and Romy Marquez, we will run also today in the Parables Section an anecdote about a Beverly-based Filipino-American Ph.D.)

Here it is:

Anak: Itay, nagpapatanong si ma’am kung ano raw ang propesyon ninyo.

Itay: Sabihin mo, CARDIOLOGIST.

Anak: Ano po ba ang cardiologist, Itay?

Itay: ‘Yung tagaayos ng RADIO sa CAR.

And so, I laughed and laughed. And, I am still laughing. I hope Esperanza Talavera Sanchez, had enjoyed this, too.

Okey ngarud, till next week.
