Overheard

Based on true story...

Are you ready for this?

American boss: Have you seen the copy done by _______?

Filipino staff: Yes, I did. Ummmm... Ahhh... (nahihiya mag-comment)

American boss: (frowning) Isn't it soooooo bad?

Filipino staff: Actually, yessssssssssss! (finally she made a comment)

American boss: (can't get over the bad copy) I wonder where she learned her English (sigh)

Filipino staff: Hmmmm...Probably (name of a university along Katipunan Avenue known for its Japanese corn).

Yes, the one who turned in that bad copy was a graduate of that school. When the copy was heavily edited by the boss, she didn't take it lightly.

Peace!
