Use your Words carefully

Ah Beng was travelling in a crowded bus. As he took out his wallet to pay the fare, his passport-size photograph accidentally fell from his pocket. He started searching for it frantically & found it on the floor, below the ends of a woman's long sari.

He asked her "Can you lift up your sari? I wanna take photograph"
He was beaten up so badly that he had to be admitted to hospital.

He was surprised to see his Singaporean friend, Ah Seng, on the bed next to him, in a worse condition. Ah Seng explained what happened to him.

He had gone to a remote village to work. He finished late and missed the last bus. He couldn't find any hotel. So he approached a nearby house and asked the owner whether he can stay there for the night.

The owner replied "I have 2 grown up daughters. Sorry, I can't allow you to stay".

He approached the next house and asked whether he can stay there for the night. The owner replied, "I have 3 grown up daughters. "Sorry, I can't allow you to stay".

He went to the next house and asked: "Do you have grown up daughters?" The Owner asked, "WHY?????????" Ah Seng replied, "I wanted to stay here for a night....."

The next thing he knew, he was in the hospital bed.


THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS:
"WORDS GET YOU INTO DEEP TROUBLE IF YOU DON'T USE IT CORRECTLY"
