Ah Beng is taking English lessons. He is asked to form a sentence using the number one to 10.

“No problem,” he tells the teacher, adding that he can even do it backwards.

The teacher, somehow skeptical, tells him to go ahead.

This is what Ah Beng comes up with:

“1 day I went 2 climb a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panicked and 4 down. The man rushed out and wanted to 5 with me. I ran until I fell 6 and threw up. So I went into 7-Eleven and grabbed some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and tried to stab him. 10 God he ran away.

“10 I put the 9 back and paid for the 8 and left 7-Eleven. The next day I called my boss and I told him I was 6. He said 5, tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asked me to climb a 3 and jump down! I don’t understand. I am so good 2 him but I don’t know what he 1.”
