TOY CELLULAR PHONES. A woman engineer was on board a Labangon-bound PUJ when a man seated next to her suddenly grabbed her bag and leaped out of the vehicle. “I don’t know whether to cry or to laugh,” she said, “my transparent plastic shopping bag had four toy cellphones which the robber must’ve thought were real ones.” She said she bought those toy cellphones from a friend who had just arrived from Hong Kong. “Morag tinuod gyud ang cellphones, nailad ang kawatan.”
PIRATED CDs. A man was heard telling someone while they were having lunch in a fastfood joint: “Daghan kong mapalit nga pirated CDs diha sa Colon ug Manalili. Ingon sila wa nay pirated CDs sa Cebu, nagbaha man lagi gihapon.” The other man said: “Ayawg saba oy. Hidunggan ka nya sa mga ahente ni Edu. Arestahon nya ka apil pa ko. Di na sila makasukol sa dagkong negosyante sa pirated CDs kitang mga gagmay’ng pumapalit maoy pahimungtan.”
