Take it or Leave it

A dozen “ balut”
Our tourism industry is bracing for more pain as it anxiously awaits the first signs of recovery from a recession at home and in most Asian economies now languishing in the doldrums.
***
I’m very generous to my friends. The only things I never could lend them though are two of my prized possessions, my wife and my toothbrush.
***
When there’s a will, there’s a way and also where there’s a will, you surely can find expectant heirs.
***
A despondent associate was complaining that his wife cannot understand him, and he cannot understand his wife. I told him it was foolish of him to have married a Japanese.
***
Every time I hear the word Japan, I always remember Pearl Harbor and the sneak attack it suffered 67 years ago.
***
And of the more devastating destruction of Nagasaki and Hiroshima – the Americans’ way of revenge. Horrifying.
***
Marriage is a marvelous institution – but who wants to live in an institution?
***
“Be an angel, and let me drive, honey.” He did – and now he is real angel!
***
There is so much permissiveness of late that the only way to stop having sex is to get married.
***
A friend of the bride confided to her that if she wanted an unforgettable wedding night she should ensure that her groom should eat a dozen “balut”.
Next day the bride thanked her friend, but added dolefully: Only four of them worked.
***
Even a baby smiles at its father, which is proof enough that human beings are quick to recognize a joke!
***
I was strolling along the white-sanded beach of Boracay one evening in the dark and suddenly stepped on somebody’s bottom. Then I heard a young lady’s quaint voice saying: ‘Thank you!”
***
The two top posts in the land are manned by one babae and one babaero.
***
In running a nation, if you want anything, ask a man. If you want anything done, ask a woman. That’s Thatcherism for you!
The Alpha Phi Omegans of U.P. are at it again. The Oblation Run where neophytes are to streak naked inside the campus as final initiation is an annual event. And the guys have the balls to do it!
Our leaders should, at this point in time, forget political differences and should see eye to eye in order to walk hand in hand.
We have created a society that boils down to money and sex. If you have one, you can get the other.
***
I keep wondering what Dick Gordon is doing now. Untying the Gordian Knot, I suppose.
***
The old dirty which goes: I wonder who’s kissing her now – reminds me of my favorite social butterfly, Baby Arenas.
***
The impending hike in the price of oil would force us to simply hike or bike. But it’s also good for the health!
***
There’s a new gold rush in California – a boom in premium wine they term as liquid gold. The state now produces 90 percent of all domestic vintages consumed in America and exports too are surging to the brim. My wife wrote me ending with: Hope you were here!
***
Cardinal Sin is one of the few persons to whom the adjective “indomitable” may be used. He must be considered a curator of the life force, and his courage is so compelling that it is encouraging just to know that such a man exists.
***
A fitting tribute to a son of Aklan and one who makes all Aklanon mighty proud.
***
Keep reading the Bible!!
