Standard Chartered, Nescafe, Singapore Airlines

Once upon a time in Singapore, there lived a happy couple, Mr. & Mrs. Ng
with their 3 lovely daughters; Elaine, Ena & Ella.

The 3 daughters were brought up in a prim-and-proper way and when they
reached 20, they were still virgins. Years passed, and it was time to
get them married.

So, the parents found them the most suitable " leng chais" (handsome
guys ). They got married and were preparing to set-off on their
honeymoon.

As "concerned" (more like "kay-poh") parents, Mr.& Mrs. Ng were curious
about their daughters' first-night experience. So, before the daughters
went on their respective honeymoons, Mrs. Ng told them......" Your
father and I want to know about your 1st night encounters and whether
you are satisfied. Write a letter to us , but as not to raise your
husbands' curiosity...you all must use a code-name to describe your
experiences".

So, the excited daughters were off. A week passed. Mr. & Mrs. Ng got the
first letter. It was from Elaine.

They opened the letter and found the word STANDARD CHARTERED. They
immediately took the newspaper and looked for the Standard Chartered
advertisement.

"Ah! Here it is!", exclaimed Mr. Ng. The motto for Standard Chartered
was.... "BIG, STRONG & FRIENDLY"
Mr & Mrs. Ng were happy.

A week later, they got another letter. This time it was from Ena. The
content was simple. "NESCAFE". So, again they took the newspaper and
looked for the Nescafe ad. "Ah! Here it is. 'NESCAFE: PLEASURE TILL THE
LAST DROP". Mr. & Mrs. Ng beamed with joy.

Another week passed. A month passed. And another. There was still no
letter from Ella. The Ngs became worried.

Finally, the letter came. It was scribb led and could hardly be read,
but Mrs. Ng managed to figure it out. The code-name was "SINGAPORE
AIRLINES".
Why Singapore Airlines? Mr.Ng rushed to the nearest store and got a
newspaper. He flipped the pages frantically. "Ah! Here it is!" Mrs. Ng
grabbed the page and read aloud.

Before she could finish ...THUMP!!!...she fell off her chair.

The motto was ..."7 TIMES A WEEK. 4 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. NON-STOP".
