The Tavern

Went to the barber shop just now with YK after our dinner at secret recipe. It was 9.30pm then. The shop was supposed to close at 9pm, but since the barber was still there he let me in. Isa his name. A nice person and skilled barber he is.

On the TV was news about thailand’s sex industry (or something like that).

Isa : hai… these people, they bla bla bla bla. and bla bla bla. later they come back with HIV baru tau.

Me : erm…

Isa : Actually its very easy to detect HIV you know… you just wait until their wives get pregnant… they sure will have to go hospital, right? then you check and see if the wife have this HIV. Then you know that she must have got it from the husband…. then you go tangkap him.

Me : erm… (yea right, brilliant)

Isa : Too bad HIV got no remedy. Nowadays its different already you know. Last time we have only syphilis and gonorrhea (only?!). Those are small case. Now HIV man! bla bla bla…

Me : erm…

Isa : Actually, you know? The appearance of this HIV is long stated in our Al-quran d.. bla bla bla…

Me (trying to show interest) : oh?

Isa : Ya, once upon a time there was this this this and that that that, then the God sent messenger to warn them, but they wouldn’t listen. so God submerged them under dead sea.

Me : erm…

Isa : You know, actually the Bible and Al-quran say the same thing. Its just that our kitab is the last version of God’s sayings. Its most updated… (okay, version 1.02 beta you mean)… bla bla bla.

Isa : And Christian and Islam share a lot of names. Like, Zakaria for Zachary, Iskandar for Alexander, Isa for Jesus…

Me : Oh!? So I can call you Jesus next time?

Isa : Er… er… ..erm… so you want your sideburn cut or leave it there?

When we got out from the shop YK said he was having a very hard time trying not to laugh. I suspect he leaked some urine due to incontinence.

And its amazing how topics can switch from some prostitutes on TV to the Doom’s Day.
