There was a tense moment though during that part of the
ceremonial rites when the lady Minister loudly proclaimed for all to
hear, "If there is anybody among us here now present who would know
of any reason or impediment why these two people should not be married,
please speak now ... or forever hold your peace!" Sus, wa gyuy ning
tingog. An awkward uneasy silence pervaded all over the place. (One was
tempted to imagine a weeping woman
in a maternity dress, heavy with child, materialize in the center of
the
aisle, begging for compassion. But no, such drama did not happen.)
Then,
as congregation held its collective breath, the Minister turned her
eyes
back at the blushing bride and a now nervously smiling groom, looked
them
straight in the eyes, and, with authority, declared,
"Orlando and Hygeia, by the authority in me vested by the State of
California, I now pronounce you husband and wife" and a deafening
applause and cheers broke out from everybody, as they chanted,
"Bee-Beh! Bee-Beh! Bee-Beh!"
As we go to press, we were told bride and groom
are doing (it) fine. Wow!

Reprinted email:
A woman awakes during the night, and her husband isn't in
bed with her. She goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him
sitting
at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front of him. He appears
to
be in deep thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he
wipes
a tear from his eye and takes a sip of his coffee.
"What's the matter, dear?" she asks."Why are you down here at this time
of
night?"
The husband looks up from his coffee, "Do you remember 20 years ago
when we were dating, and you were only 16?" he asks
solemnly.
"Yes, I do," she replies.
"Do you remember when your father who we thought was at work
caught us in your room making love?"
"Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside
him.
The husband continues, "Do you remember when he shoved the shotgun in
my face and said, 'Either you marry my daughter, or I'll send you to
jail for 20
years?'"
"I remember that, too," she replies softly.
He lets out a sigh, wipes another tear from his cheek and says,
"Sus, nakagawas na unta ko karon."

traffic lights sa ato-a?
Kadto bang sa esquina do-ol sa inyong balay, pastilan, hapit mi si Myma
ma-accidente ni-adtong mi-uli mi kay ga-testing pa diay sila at that
time. Ti-aw mo nang gikan sa Green, modiritso man sus, ngitngit man

Yellow! Unya, from Red
nga Stop paingon sa Green nga Go, mo-hapit sa na hino-on sa Yellow! Uy,
Gino-o,

safety
gadgets. Ika-usa diha, ag sa usang Nobyembre, nangutana ko ni Badong
Garcia

baya
to siya'y tingog-tingog - ug moliko sa kurbada, ti-il ra ning iyang
i-sinyas.
Apan pagkadungog niya sa akong pangutana, misagbat siya. Baling
tabi-ana..
Ni-ingon siya: "Kanang Green, maka-diritso ka. ngon and
Kanang Yellow, maka-diritso gihapon ka. Unya kanang Pula, maka-diritso
gihapon ka, basta walay pulis," dayong kageke niya'g katawa. (Akong
nabanatayan
nga wala diay siya'a tango sa

atubangan. He continued, "Bitaw, 'Bay,
komedya ra na. Kanang pula, puede man - maka-diritso man ka - apan
mohapit ka sa
prisohan. Adto ka didto magtingkaggol!"
Well, at least sa ato, kitang mga Tanjayanon are still law-him.

Estoryang Tinanjay

Bay Apyot ug si Bay Berto namingwit ug puyo. Dugay na silang
hinulat, wala gyu'y mitukob. Dimalas gyud kaayo.
Mao nga ga-estoryahay na lang silang duha aron mawala ang kagutom.
Apyot: 'Tay'ng buanga, 'Bay, ika-usa diha naka-kuha ko'g isda gamay
kaayo, pareho ra'g tudlo ka-gamay. Akong
gibalik.
Manti-aw, gitukob man na sa laing isda nga ingon ug bukton. Ako
gihapong gi-balik,
Matay yati-a, gitukob man ni ug mas dakong isda ingon ug trak-de-karga
gidak-on.
Ning-pakyaw na lang ko'g
pedicab aron akong dad-on sa balay .
Berto: Ako, 'Bay Apyot, ag sa usang semana, didto ko sa lawod.
Tungang gabi-i na, gaulan-ulan pa jud. Ning salum ko'g sulay, sus,
ngitngit man diay kayo sa ilalum sa dagat. Maayo gani kay pagsalum
nako, nadala nako ag sulo ug posporo.
Apyot: Sa ilalum sa dagat?
Berto: Oo, didto's ilalum, 'Bay. Akong gikudlit ang
posporo ug akong giduslitan ang sulo. Sus, manting hayaga sa ilalum sa
dagat. Daghanang isda akong nakit-an. Kada lingi nako, isda lain-laing
klase. Baling lingawa nako 'Bay.
Apyot: Saba diha Berto! Estoryang binakak! Owata ko!
Berto: Aw, na hala. Pagamyi nang imong isda, kay
akong pagngon and akong sulo.
Apyot: Pauli na alang ta'Bay, gutom na kaayo,
