One day,... poor Erning has a stroke. …., he is told by his doctor: “Mr Isip, from now on you can only eat things that can swim.” Several weeks pass and Erning doesn’t show for his follow-up appointment. The doctor, worried, decides to pass by Erning’s house, because… they are neighbours…. The doctor rings the doorbell and the maid opens the gate.
Maid: “Yes, sir?”
Doctor: “Where is Mr. Isip?”
Maid: “He’s in the pool, sir.”
Doctor: “Very good. What’s he doing?”
Maid: “He’s teaching the pig to swim!”
