Noynoy in BPI








I got this from the Facebook Group Showbiz Government. They in turn credit frequent contributor Jerry Ocampo.

President NOYNOY walks into the Bank of Philippine Islands to cash a check. As he approaches the cashier he says, "Good morning Ma'am, would you please cash this check for me?"

Cashier: "It would be my pleasure sir. Could you please show me your ID?"

PNOY: "Honestly, I did not bring my ID with me as I didn't think there was any need to. I am President Noynoy Aquino III, the President of the Republic of the Philippines!"

Cashier: "Yes sir, I know who you are, but with all the regulations and monitoring of the banks because of impostors and forgers, etc., I must insist on seeing ID.

PNOY: "Just ask anyone here at the bank who I am and they will tell you. Everybody knows who I am."

Cashier: "I am sorry Mr. President but these are the bank rules and I must follow them.

PNOY: "I am urging you, please, to cash this check.

Cashier: "Look Mr. President, here is an example of what we can do. One day, Efren “Bata” Reyes came into the bank without ID. To prove he was Efren “Bata” Reyes he pulled out his cue stick and made a beautiful shot across the bank into a cup. With that shot we knew him to be Efren “Bata” Reyes and cashed his check." "Another time, Mon Fernandez came in without ID. He pulled out his basketball and made a fabulous hook shot whereas the ball landed in my thrash bin. With that shot we cashed his check. So, Mr. President, what can you do to prove that it is you, and only you, as the President of the Philippines?

PNOY stands there thinking, and thinking, and finally says, "Honestly, my mind is a total blank... There is nothing that comes to my mind. I can't think of a single thing. I have absolutely no idea what to do; I just don't have a clue".

Cashier: "Will that be large or small bills, Mr. President?


Moral of the story the best noynoy joke of all is his résumé

A Regret That I Have

 

It was 1984 if I recall. My mom said you want to watch King and I. Not the movie, the live musical with Yul Brynner. I said no. The movie is now playing in the room and that memory came back. My appreciation of movies and musicals has grown since then. I had since appreciated Westerns more and of course Yul Brynner in Magnificent Seven.




 Postscript to that story, Yul Brynner died a year later.
