Eating in class will go on your report book!
When the Internet was younger, my niece used to print out jokes from there and paste them into a scrap book. This was one that I liked:
Teacher pointing at boy at other end of classroom: You there, are you chewing gum?
Boy: No sir, I'm Chan Weng Keong.
These days of course there's no need to print anything, jokes are just a search away.
In case you haven't got it yet, Chew Eng Gam is a plausible Chinese name.

"I would like … atchoo!"
"Madam, our shoes are sold in pairs."
It's ok, I have a license to monkey around
Today while watching an inept driver an insult we used in Malaysia came back to me: kopi-o lesen which means black coffee license. It referred to the practice of bad drivers bribing the road test examiner, and by extension, the licenses thus obtained.
It seems that a few years back Malaysia implemented automation to remove the examiners from sitting beside the drivers under test to put the kibosh on the practice. So hopefully kopi-o lesen will only be a memory for oldies like me. Anyway good to know that my long term memory is still working. 😉
