HUMOR2,in English

War,?!!!!....
Suatu hari ada seorang tourist dari amerika yang sedang berlibur,
di Indonesia.
Singkat,kisah singkat cerita.

Di dalam mobil BMW-nya yang megah dan terus berpacu itu ,dia tak henti-hentinya
   Menengok ke jendela mobil yang berada tepat disampingnya.
  kemudian diapun mulai menggaruk       kepalanya yang tidak gatal dengan lugu Dia pun bertanya kepada sang sopir yang tulen Indonesia,
tapi jangan salah Sang sopir juga jago berbahasa inggris lhoo,
  
    Hi,Driver why many places in Indonesia use WAR,Such as Warteg,Wartel,and
Warnet,sang sopirpun tak sanggup menjawab karena bertabrakkan dengan tawanya yang begitu dashyat pecah.

     Bali,?!!!!!...
Dalam sebuah pertemuan penting di Jakarta (Indonesia)datang berbagai delegasi dari berbagai negara.
Namun, ada salah satu delegasi yang belum datang yang tepatnya dari Australia,
padahal acara sebentar lagi akan  dimulai ,
Akhirnya........,Sang bos pun menyuruh salah satu staffnya untuk menghubungunya.
"Hi,sir where are you?
Dengan santai Ia menjawab,
"Oh,sorry I forget about the meeting,sekarang saya ada dibali"
Semua peserta yang mendengarnya langsung naik darah,
Namun dengan santai Delegasi dari Australia menjawab,

"Don't worry,aku akan segera datang:

Sontak ruangan itupun penuh dengan tawa yang meledak.
