Petrol Power



We were at a petrol kiosk to pump in petrol.

Hubby : Uncle, I want Power 92.

Attendant A (in hokkien) : Li eh chia si Mercedes, Power 92 oi gow power?
(your car is a Mercedes, Power 92 enough power for your car?)

Hubby (in his terrible Hokkien) : Oi sai, wa tak pai yong Power 92, oi gow power
( Can! I always use Power 92, enough power!)

Hubby went inside the petrol station to pay the cashier, whereas I remained in the car and overheard the following exchanges :

Attendant B came over to talk to A : hee eh chia oi sai yong Power 92 meh?
( his car can use Power 92 meh?)

Attendant A : Yi gong oi sai leh... ( he said can leh)

Attendant B : mer si chia got power boh, si boh Liu Power!
(it's not whether car got power or not, it's no Money Power!)

Ha ha ha, the uncles were rather witty and funny. Luckily hubby thought it was hilarious too and was not offended when I told him what was said.
