Amoy lupa

pare1: pare, naalala ko talaga yung lola ko tuwing umuulan

pare2: bakit? malungkot ba pag umuulan

pare1: hindi pare, amoy lupa pag umuulan

-the joke is about a man telling his friend that he misses his grandmother when it rains. His friend asks if his friend misses his grandmother because the rain makes him sad. The man replies no, he misses his grandma because when it rains it smells like wet dirt, meaning his grandma also smells like earth. Pinoys often refer jokingly to someone very old (who’s most probably going to die soon) as smelling like earth, because it means they’re almost one with it.
