A Joke on Bus Way


This morning, a friend of mine made a joke about Bus Way. This might be because that lately the construction of Bus Way is widely blamed by most of Jakartanists as the main contributor to the traffic jam in Jakarta. The joke is just on the way he pronounced the word Bus Way which is heard as BAH WAE rather than as BAS WE.

The joke seems funny to me for two reason: (i) the pronounciation is very Javanese, and seems to impress that it is Javanes which means LET IT BE; (ii) the joke reflects a feeling of desperate, maybe for the seriousness of the traffic problem caused by the construction of the BAH WAE, sorry BUS WAY. :-) Keep smile... it makes you healthy.
