It all started in the '80s when .....
There is this Miss Universe contest and the 3 finalists
are Miss American, Miss Australia, and Miss Singapore.
Miss Singapore, was represented by Ah Huay
who had no 'O'-level qualification.
She is socially -a class- better than an average Singaporean
because she think she could -slank- like an Ang-Moh
when she converse, just like any SPG (Sarong Party Girls).
Now....the judges are asking 3 questions to the finalists.
The 1st question is: -
Name me an electrical appliance starting with the letter L
Miss America is as confident as ever,
and replies straight away:-....lamp...
The judges say good....
Miss Australia replies:-......light bulb...
The judges say good.....
Now Miss Singapore is not too sure,
she finally says:-.....ladio...
Then the judges say: "sorry, radio doesn't start with letter L"
Now the 2nd question is:-
Name me an animal starting with the letter L
Miss America says confidently:-....lion....
The judges say good.....
Miss Australia says:-......leopard.....
The judges say good....
and now Miss Singapore isn't too sure again
she says:-...Labbit...
The judges say: "sorry, rabbit doesn't start with the letter L"
I'm afraid you are out of the contest...."
Now, the 3rd and last question:
Name me a fruit starting with the letter L
Miss America says:-....lime....
The judges say well done.....
Miss Australia says:.....lemon....
The judges say well done again....
Now Miss Singapore knows the answer for once
she is very confident that she would make it to
the next round, she says:
......LIEW LIAN.....(durian)
Now, the judge wants to give a final chance for Miss Singapore
with an additional 4th question.
The 4th question is:
Name me a human organ starting with the letter L
Miss America say : -......liver.....
The judge says well done.
Miss Australia say:-........lung.....
The judge says well done again.
Miss Singapore is very over-confident,
nothing can go wrong this time.
She told the judge she will name him
2 human organs with letter L instead of 1,
to gain extra points.
The judge say: go ahead please....
Miss Singapore grabbed the microphone
and shouted loudly,
No.1 is LAM-PAH
No.2 is LAN-CHEOW
And she looked at the judge with very wide smile.
( The judge by the way is a Singaporean himself ).
