Impromptu Taco Making Class

An American is newly arrived to South Korea.  He goes with a few friends to a restaurant in Seoul, and the restaurant has a taco bar where you can choose hard tacos and/or soft tacos, add whatever you want, and add however much you want.

Simply because he hasn't eaten tacos for a long time, he takes care to create several masterpieces. He not only adds almost everything available, but he adds them in a deliberate sequence.

A nearby Korean couple notices the silent enthusiasm with which this meal is being prepared. Despite knowing limited English, the husband asks the American to teach step-by-step taco assembly to his wife.

A few minutes later, the culinary cultural exchange was complete. The American was happy to share, the Koreans were happy to learn, and the tacos turned out to be absolutely delicious.

Simon says, "speak Korean."

An English teacher in Korea enforces a strict English-only policy in his classrooms. He is so strict, in fact, that one day, while playing Simon Says, he tries out, "Simon says, 'speak Korean.'" The students were so confused over whether or not they were actually authorized to speak Korean, that not one of them spoke a word. Ironically, on "Simon says, 'speak Korean,." an entire class of Korean students was "out."

No, no, no, we're cousins.

A man shops at the same convenience store several times per week. He notices that the same woman usually works mornings, the same man usually works afternoons, and sometimes they have lunch together in the early afternoon when they change shifts. They both seem to be equally in charge, as if co-owners. And the woman seems to end her shift at a good time to go home before children return home from school.

One afternoon, while everyone was present, the male employee told the customer that the woman thought he was handsome. This felt awkward, especially under the assumption that the two employees were a married couple. So, in an attempt to diffuse this awkwardness, he asked, "how long have you two been married?"

Both employees began to scream, "no, no, no, we're cousins."

So much for making the situation less awkward.

Everybody and their mother is on Skype.

A man is frustrated with his weak Skype connection, and so he complains to the other party, "everybody and their mother is on Skype."

He then realized the irony of saying that, via Skype, to his own mother.

Need extra motivation to lose fat? Take upside-down selfies.

A fitness enthusiast gained a few too many extra pounds, and started going to a nearby gym a few extra times per week. He now goes before work, after work, and also on Saturdays. At the end of his workouts, he likes to use the gym's inversion table.

An inversion table, for those who don't know, is a board that you back up against and then you lock your ankles into two cuffs at the bottom. The board then rotates, allowing you to lie at a modest decline, extreme decline, or even completely upside-down. The ankle cuffs hold you in place, allowing you to simply hang there and counter the normal effects of gravity on your body.

One day, while in the upside-down position, he decided to take a selfie. Keep in mind that everything on the body that is normally down was now up, and everything that is normally up was now down. When he took the upside-down photo and turned it upside-down, so that it looked like it was taken standing up, the face and body gained the appearance of what he might look like if he continued with an unhealthy lifestyle.

If you've never done this before, and if you would like extra motivation to lose fat, give this a try.

Are you two married?

A married man goes on a job interview at a small company. He speaks first with the female Director of Operations and then with the male President. They have different last names. Towards the end of the interview, the Director enters the conference room to speak with the President.

Upon observing their conversation, which was completely professional, and despite the risk involved, the candidate could not help but ask, "are you two married?"

The President and the Director were stunned, but after a brief moment they confessed.
