 A Mom of a patient and I were discussing the merits of using papaya soap. And I was telling her to apply papaya soap over the darkened area of her skin. Her daughter hears this and says, "di ba masakit yon kung mainit ang ilalagay sa skin?" It took awhile before her Mom and I realized she thought we were talking about papaya soup!

It took me about an hour and going on the internet and showing them pictures to find out who she was.  It was Cherry Pie Pecache.

And so, we go through the whole guessing game again.
