Mosquitos and dinosaurs at lunch!

Just had lunch with me fellow colleagues. Today we had a pretty amusing conversation.

Dino [moulds a piece tissue paper of tissue paper into something]: What does this looks like to you?

Me [happily]; TISSUE PAPER!

Dino [amazed]: That's a very good answer ya know.
[pauses]
Remember the life cycle of the mosquito?

Me: Larva!

So we went on talking abt the female and male mosquitos stuffs. blah blah....

Me:
If female mosquitos suck blood, then what about the male mosquitos?

Dino [excitedly]:
They suck from the female mosquitos!

Everyone:
HA ha Ha Ha haHa HAa HA ha...

Bel [trying hard to figure out something]:
Think I've come across this que b4. Argh ... why cant I remember?!

Me [trying to act clever]:
Maybe the female mosquitos suck blood from humans & male mosquitos suck blood from animals instead?

June:
Then the mosquitos who live in the jungle how? Where are the females gonna find humans?

Bel [giggling]:
WOW! The mosquitos can differentiate humans from animals eh!

Dino [teasing]:
haha.. they gotta look under before they decide, then suck? haha....

June [adding oil to fire]:
The mosquitos so clever, will know if its human or animal.. winner! haha ....

Everyone [laughing like mad]: HA ha Ha Ha haHa HAa HA ha...

Bel:
You know what's the power of internet?

Dino:
Yeah Bel. You shall find that out for us!

Everyone [continues laughing like mad]: HA ha Ha Ha haHa HAa HA ha...
