richardb Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Ok in search of cheese ( and bread to make toast to put my cheese on ) i travelled to a Big C in Suwanapoom, Roi Et and had a look in the book shop. I saw a book . It may have been called Mr Paul. It had a pic of a fallang on the cover . It was a bookof fallang jokes . Just jokes about fallang. On each page it had a joke in english like "a fallang walks into a shop and asks for a coconut." The thai assistant says " yes coconuts are lovely how many children do you have!!!!" Then the joke was in Thai ( script ) then an explanation in english as to what the joke was / why it was funny ( to a thai person/or an english speaker ). I meant to buy it on the spot but delayed and never saw it again in BKK or PTY despite asking.Back in town the bookshop had no knowledge of it. Was I on the Lao Kao mak mak or does this book exist? ps the " joke" i quoted was for illustration purposes only.it is not a real Thai joke or funny ( so far as I know ) Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
