Background (must know to understand the joke): Today is the 9th day of the 9 Emperor Gods festival. A taoist annual celebration to invoke and welcome the arrival of the 9 excellencies for a “visit”, before sending them back with colourful and grand procession. Devotees are dressed in white traditional costume, and are required to remove all footwear during the welcoming ceremony or any other ceremonies.
There is a middle-aged man, who wears flip-flops everytime he goes out anywhere after working hours. Now considering the climate in M’sia, this is not something out of the ordinary. But what may be extraordinary, is the pictures printed on the flip-flops.
This man has always been more concern with comfort and convenience, rather than its looks, as evident by the condition of the flip-flops.
So, 2 days ago at the 9 Emperor Gods temple, this man was seen wearing a different flip-flops. And out of fun/curiosity/tease, a lady relative asked this man what had happened to the Winnie, the Pooh flip-flops and how come he’s not wearing them.
The man replied, “Because I have to remove my footwear during prayer and put them aside unguarded. What if someone steal them?”
Everybody burst out laughing.
Starring:
The middle-aged man: Me dad.
The lady relative: Couz Wen.
Everybody who was there to witness: Couz WW, Aunty L, myself.
