Hehahahahahaha...
Smile... hahaha
Laugh, laugh, laugh... hahaha
Hehahahahahaha...
Laugh with cheerful abandon!
Laugh until tears fill your eyes!
Laugh! (Male: Ohhh)
(Female: Oh, laugh!)
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh!
(Male: Ah, laugh!)
(Female: Oh, laugh!)
An animal that knows how to laugh
is called a human being.
A human being who forgets to laugh
is called a beast!
So laugh with cheerful abandon!
(Female: Laugh until tears fill your eyes!)
Hey, laugh!
(Male: Why?)
(Male: Hey, just smile, man, laugh!)
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, hey laugh!
Just like people exchange betel leaves and nuts,
shall we exchange jokes with each other?
(Male: If our stomachs ache from laughing non-stop,)
shall we head to the General Hospital (GH)?
Hahahaha...
Laugh with cheerful abandon!
Laugh until tears fill your eyes!
Laugh, hey laugh!
Laugh!
Hahahaha...
Laugh!
Laugh, laugh, laugh!
Here is a joke:
A mother tells her son,
"Son, I have chosen a girl for you.
If you marry, you must marry her!"
Hahaha...
Hey, hold on, I haven't even told the joke yet!
"She has a bright pearl-like smile,
and sharp, pretty features!"
The son replies,
"No way, mother, impossible!
The girl you chose for me
has sharp, pretty features,
but the girl I chose for myself
is already pregnant with my child!"
Meaning?
(Male: Get lost, you fool!)
(Male: She is already pregnant!)
Hahahaha...
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh!
Laugh with cheerful abandon!
Hahahaha...
Laugh until tears fill your eyes!
Hahahaha...
A wife nags and scolds
her husband:
"Prakash showers his wife
with kisses every single day, you know?
If she stands, a kiss; if she walks, a kiss!
If she sits, a kiss; if she lies down, a kiss!
And look at you!
When will you ever kiss me like that?"
The husband replied,
"Sure, let it happen,
just let Prakash go out of town first!"
Hahahahaha...
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, hey laugh...
Hahahaha...
On the beach sands,
a girlfriend asked:
"My love, oh my love,
even after we get married,
will you love me just like this?"
The boyfriend said:
"Well, that depends on
the husband you are going to marry!"
Hahahaha...
Laugh with cheerful abandon!
Laugh until tears fill your eyes!
Hahahaha...
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
(Female: Laugh!)
Laugh!
Laugh, laugh, laugh!
...
Into the bedroom,
storming in like a whirlwind,
a cute little girl
asked her mother:
"Tell me quickly, Mommy,
what does sex mean...?"
Haha... what on earth is this?
Gasping in utter shock,
she explained everything,
the loving mother did!
The cute little girl sighed in frustration
and asked her mother hesitantly:
"In this application form where it says 'Sex',
in that tiny half-inch box provided,
will all these details really fit?
Will so many things fit in there...?"
Hahahaha...
Laugh with cheerful abandon!
Laugh until tears fill your eyes!
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, hey laugh!
Just like people exchange betel leaves and nuts,
shall we exchange jokes with each other?
If our stomachs ache from laughing non-stop,
shall we head to the General Hospital (GH)?
Laugh with cheerful abandon!
Laugh until tears fill your eyes!
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh
Laugh, hey laugh!
Laugh!
Laugh, laugh, laugh...
