Beauty pageants are fun and no, it’s not only because they offer the perfect excuse for looking at gorgeous women in a variety of more or less revealing outfits. That part of the show when they’re asked questions on several topics can also be a lot of fun.

Take for instance contestant Joanlia Lising, who aspired to the crown of 2013 Miss Philippines USA and failed gloriously to come near it because she couldn’t answer a question about senses.

In all fairness, she did answer.

Asked to pick just one sense to have and why, Lising launched into an elaborate and senseless answer that got members of the audience laughing out loud.

“Thank you for that wonderful question. If I had to pick out of 5 senses, I’d pick seeing, because seeing is the best sense that we can ever see. Because seeing is believing into what you see is perfect,” she said.

“And out of all those senses, seeing would be wonderful, because thank you, that’ll be it,” Lising added, desperately trying to wrap it up.

“Because thank you, that’ll be it” is officially my favorite way of ending a sentence.
