LOL. That was very funny. And yes, knowing how gutsy some pinoys can be, this can really happen.

I heard that joke too. Turns out the lion was a Pinoy in disguise. Harhar.

Haha, ‘reminds me of a classic joke where an unemployed pinoy in the US was so desperate to have a job that he accepted the role of a man being thrown into the lion’s cage for the lion to eat at a zoo. Just when the lion started growling and looked like it was about to eat him, this pinoy prayed out loud “diyos ko, maawa naman po kayo. kailangan ko lang pakainin ang pamilya ko”. To the pinoy’s amazement, the lion stopped growling. Instead the pinoy heard him whisper “pinoy ka rin?”.

WAHAHAHA!! I love it!! Nothing can beat Pinoy humor…no matter what! This is the perfect way of illustrating our “bahala na” or “bahala na ang Dios” mentality.

I admire guts. But sometimes, when it is misplaced, well…

Ironically, Bill Gates should have left the room when he said that those who do not hold management diplomas should leave.

It is unfortunate that, while this anecdote may have a dash of truth in it, more often than not it causes trouble more than it leads to success.
