to rock, not to roll !

Tau ngga kenapa orang Jawa itu untung terus?

Ini banyolan dari Warkop DKI tahun 1970-an, sedikit saya modifikasi.

Kalau harga BBM naik, bilangnya:
“Untung gaji ikut naik”

Kalau gajinya ngga naik, bilangnya:
“Untung masih bisa kerja, ngga di PHK”

Kalau ternyata di PHK, bilangnya:
“Untung masih punya tabungan”

Kalau tabungannya juga ludes, bilangnya:
“Untung masih bisa ngutang”

Kalau udah ga bisa ngutang sama sekali, bilangnya:
“Untung masih bisa puasa”

Kalau udah ga kuat puasa, bilangnya:
“Untung ngga kelaparan”

Kalau malah kelaparan, bilangnya:
“Untung ngga mati”

Kalau ternyata mati, bilangnya:
“Innalillaahi wa inna ilaihi rojiun”

Makanya orang Jawa untung terus kan.

A koala is sitting up .a gum tree … smoking a joint

when a little lizard walks past and looks up and says,

“Hey Koala ! What are you doing?”

The koala says:

“Smoking a joint, come up and have some.”

So the little lizard climbs up and sits next to the koala and they have a few joints. After a while the little lizard says his mouth is ‘dry’ and is going to get a drink from the river. But the little lizard is so stoned that he leans too far over and falls into the river.

A crocodile sees this and swims over to the little lizard and helps him to the side, then asks the little lizard:

“What’s the matter with you?”

The little lizard explains to the crocodile that he was sitting smoking a joint with the koala in the tree, got too stoned and then fell into the river while taking a drink.

The crocodile says he has to check this out and walks into the rain forest, finds the tree where the koala is sitting finishing a joint, and he looks up and says “Hey you!”

So the koala looks down at him and says:

“Shiiiiiiiiiiit dude … how much water did you drink?!!”

“There is a risk that the word `Google’ could become so commonly used that it becomes synonymous with the word `search,’ ” Google noted in its annual report from last year. “We could lose protection for this trademark, which could result in other people using the word `Google’ to refer to their own products.”

Dikutip dari The Boston Globe

Google masuk kamus. Karena menjadi frasa atau kata, apakah Google akan
menghadapi masalah seperti Xerox, Coca-Cola, atau semacamnya?

Contohnya gini:
Gw punya dua celana levis. Artinya orang udah akrab dengan levis sebagai jeans. Konon orang jawa juga mengadopsi kata ’sepur’ yang artinya kereta api dari merek lokomotif. Di tempat gw, orang suka menyebut saklar dengan Broco (merek dagang) atau trafo lampu neon dengan Ballast.

Kalau begitu bukan cuma orang Indonesia doang yang punya kebiasaan kaya gitu. Kirain karena kita kekurangan kosa-kata jadi suka main import sesuka hati.

Kebayang kan, suatu hari akan ada orang yang nanya gini:

1. You must believe that being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime - unless you’re a millionaire right wing radio gasbag; then, it’s an “illness” and requires prayer for “recovery”.
2. You must believe that those born to privilege achieve success on their own, but that all of their customers are lazy and stupid.
3. You must believe that ethics are an inconvenience that only Democrats bother with, and that any way you raise money is okay, so long as you don’t get caught.
4. You must believe that folks who work for their money should be taxed at a high rate, but those who get their money for nothing should be exempt from taxation.
5. You must believe that being “morally upright” means hating gays and liberals, and anyone else who doesn’t hate gays and liberals.
6. You must believe that, to rid the country of crime, you must rid the world of people not like you.
7. You must agree that racking up huge amounts of debt and handing it off to future generations is worth the few thousand extra in tax breaks given to your wealthy “investors.”
8. You must believe the US should pull out of the UN, at the same time you claim our highest national priority is to start a war to enforce UN resolutions.
9. You must believe that the best person to represent the United States in the UN is someone who doesn’t believe the UN should exist.
10. You must believe that government should stay out of people’s financial lives, but should socially engineer any behaviors deemed “unacceptable.” That the government should stay out of our checkbooks, but feel perfectly at home on our bedrooms and doctors offices.
11. You must believe that profitable pollution is perfectly ok, and that all science is bunk when it cuts into profits.
12. You must support prayer in schools, as long as no one prays to Allah or Buddha.
13. You must believe that rushing to Washington to vote to keep a dead woman’s tube in place is more important than seeing thousands of people drown in a hurricane.
14. You must believe that nothing is more important than a fundraiser; not even black people drowning. No, especially black people drowning.
15. You must believe that no Republican is crooked, as long as he says the right thing and writes you a big enough check.
16. You must believe that “Standing Tall for America” means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India, and encouraging corporations headquartered here to move their address offshore to avoid taxes.
17. You must believe that, while a woman cannot be trusted with decisions about her own body, huge multi-national corporations can be trusted to make decisions affecting all mankind with no regulation whatsoever.
18. You must believe that Jesus loves you, but shares your hatred and distrust of the poor, homosexuals, and the Clintons.
19. You must hate the ACLU for representing people whose rights have been violated, and believe they owed it to the country to bail out Oliver North.

21. You must be willing to believe that group sex and drug use are degenerate sins that can only be purged by running for office as a Republican.
22. You must think that keeping sex education and birth control out of schools is the wisest course, because without them, teenagers will never have sex.

24. You must believe that single-payer health care, in which everyone pays for and receives health insurance, would be a disaster compared to the current system, in which 40 million people are forbidden from paying into the system, but still receive emergency health care. You must also believe that insurance companies only care about giving you the best darn health care there is, damn the profit. You must also believe that providing health care to Iraqis is good policy, while providing it to Americans is a “Socialist plot.”
25. You must believe that forcing bankrupt people to pay their bills is a much more important problem than addressing how they got there in the first place.
26. You must agree that the link between tobacco and cancer is “dubious,” that claims of global warming are “junk science” and that creationism has a sound scientific basis that should be part of all school curricula.
27. You must believe that waging war with no security or exit strategy was good for Iraq.
28. You must agree that Saddam Hussein was a good guy when Reagan was sending him arms, a bad guy when he invaded Kuwait, a good guy again when Cheney did business with him at Halliburton, and then a bad guy again when Bush decided that a war in Iraq would be a very lucrative deal for his “investors.”
29. You must believe that the Bill of Rights is absolute in the case of the Second Amendment, but negotiable with regard to the rest of the document.

31. You must ascribe to the notion that the Clintons’ business deals were major breaches of the public trust, while the fact that Dick Cheney is still being paid by Halliburton, which is now getting billions of your tax dollars, is no big deal.
32. You must believe that everything that Democrats do should be public knowledge, but that the public has no right to know anything that Republicans do.
33. You must always deride a Democrat’s changes of mind and philosophy as a “flip-flop,” while referring to those of fellow Republicans as “growth.”
