Subject: David Letterman on Filipino-Americans

Filipino-American for his top ten reasons, but this certainly show we
are an emerging group in this diversed society to be featured in Dave's
famous TV show..

Top 10 Reasons Why There Couldn't Be a Filipino-American US President,
By David Letterman

10. The White House is not big enough for in-laws and extended
relatives.

9. There are not enough parking spaces at the White House for 2 Honda
Civics, 2 Toyota Land Cruisers, 3 Toyota Corollas, a Mercedes Benz, a
BMW , and an MPV (My Pinoy Van).

8. Dignitaries generally are intimidated by eating with their fingers at
State dinners.

7. There are too many dining rooms in the White House - where will they
put the picture of the Last Supper?

6. The White House walls are not big enough to hold a pair of giant
wooden spoon and fork

5. Secret Service staff won't respond to "psst... psst" or
â??hoyâ?|.hoyâ? |hoyâ?|â??

4. Secret Service staff will not be comfortable driving the presidential
car with a Holy Rosary hanging on the rear view mirror, or the statue of
the Santo Nino on the dashboard.

3. No budget allocation to purchase a Karaoke music-machine for every
room in the White House.

2. State dinners do not allow "Take Home".

AND THE NUMBER 1 REASON WHY THERE COULDN'T BE A FILIPINO-AMERICAN U.S.
PRESIDENT IS...

1. Air Force One does not allow overweight Balikbayan boxes!

I'm Slovak, and number seven would certainly apply to us (when I grew up, the last supper in the dining room was a paint-by-number done by my father)

Does'nt sound like Leterman! Not enough laughs, too petty, not enough Americans would understand!

 

[Hammerhead]

He must have missed the one about Congressional funding for Stem Cell reseach for artificial Balut...

 

[Narcd_dvr]

I would agree with h2odragon, Americans would not get the joke.

This is a ten+ (10)+ year old email joke. I first heard of it (sans the David Letterman part ) from my aunt who lived in Chicago at the time.

 

[Babydamulag]

Hey! I resemble that remark....I am a KANO and I got all of them! .....not funny enough though for Letterman

The Balikbayan box one was pretty good...but you have to see a 747 load of overseas workers at the baggage claim to appreciate it.
One time I was checking into the Manila Penn (91 or so) and the lady asked me if I was a resident (for the discounted rate). Before I pulled out my passport to show her that I was, I used my lips and pointed to a carboard box I had tied up with rope and duct tape sitting on the floor. She got a kick out of that and didn't even ask for my real residence proof.
