Quote-Worthy Bits


I read these excerpts from a local publication and feel compelled to quote them here because of the irresistible humor and wit embodied in each thought.

Cojones--means balls in Spanish which can also be referred to as guts. Yet, what is the difference between balls and guts?


"Guts is when you arrive home late, after a night out with the boys. Your wife opens the door wielding a broom. If you have guts, you ask: Are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?"

And balls? Again, you come home late after a night out with the boys. You reek of perfume and beer. And there are lipstick smears on your collar. If you have balls, you whack your wife on her bottom and snort: 'You're next'.

There is no difference in the outcome. "Both will ultimately result in death."

And speaking of death, get this:

"When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep; not screaming--like all the other passengers in his car."

An obstetrician in San Antonio, Texas recalls:

"A man dashes into the emergency room and yells, 'My wife's going to have her baby in the cab!' I quickly grabbed my bag, rushed out to the cab ahead of him, quickly lifted the lady's dress, and began to take off her underwear. Suddenly, I noticed there were several cabs--and I was in the wrong one."

Then, there was this medical school lecturer who tossed these items at pre-med students clustered before him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when you will be assigned to emergency room duty, you will quickly discover from the patients that the traffic cops wheel in two kinds of pedestrians--the quick and the dead."

"Some of your over-speeding patients will have slammed their cars into a rut in the road. They will discover that the only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth."

"As for me," the lecturer added, "I've discovered that life is sexually transmitted. And health is merely the slowest rate at which one can die. In fact I used to eat a lot of organic and natural foods--until I learned that most people die of natural causes. So never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway."

A psychiatrist friend reminds me that disorders in her field of specialization, can sometimes be tossed around as carols. Like what?

Like these, she e-mailed:

Schizophrenia--"Do You Hear What I Hear?";

Multiple Personality Disorder:--"We Three Kings Disoriented Are";

Paranoia:--"Santa Claus Is Coming--to get me";

Dementia:--"I Think I'll Be Home for Christmas";

Narcissistic:--Hark the Herald Angels Sing--About Me."


In closing let me add this, what's the difference between a neurotic, a psychotic and a psychiatrist?

A neurotic builds air castles.

A psychotic lives in them.

And it is the psychiatrist who collects the rent.

Destination Cebu: Learn the Language Overnight with the Easiest Visayan Language Tutorial There Is!

Image
It is no joke when you have to travel to other worldly destinations and the first hurdle you need to overcome is the language barrier.  Is it possible to be ready to mingle and interact with the locals armed with your spoken language whether it be English, German, Finnish, French, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, or whichever language you speak? The answer is an unequivocal, YES.  It is absolutely possible especially in Cebu and the Philippine islands in general, for you to explore the islands even without knowing a single spoken word in the locale since English is considered a second language.  Thus, most everyone know and understand English. But if you have the chance to be equipped and be readily able to speak the language which you could potentially use to enrich your island-hopping experience, would you pass the opportunity? Learning a new language in general seems to be such a daunting task. And it's even going to be such a challenge if you d...

My Second Chance At Life: Psalm 91

About fifteen years ago, I was caught in a tragic vehicular accident. It was in the summer of 1992. We were campaigning for one of the most heated local elections in our city's history. We went to the remote coastal areas in the city to campaign for the candidates whom we believed were fit to run the city and bring favorable change to our community. We didn't know much. We were young. But young as we were, we were high-spirited and full of promise that we will be able to effect change in our community, thus, without any compensation, we volunteered to campaign for our favored candidates and really sweat hard for them to have a landslide victory in our place. Just like any other day, we were enthusiastic and cheerful as we headed to our destination for the day. One of the guys that I campaigned with, owned a top-down jiffy, and he came early to pick us up so we can reach our target area before noon time. I remember getting in the car, then getting off to get something that I for...

My 84-Yr. Old Masseuse

Who amongst us here enjoy a good pampering every once in a while? I do. It comes in the form of a massage. A periodic massage to the body actually helps especially during stressful times. A massage often gives you the feeling of relief and rejuvenation. I don't know why, but it must be the release of tension that really makes massaging the body such a relaxing experience. If you have the money, you can do the massage on a regular basis. The rate could go from about P300 to P5000 depending on where you get it. You can get it locally for a cheaper price or you can get it at a more exclusive spa for a much higher price. With me though, I get it through an old lady who visits me every two weeks and renders a body massage at a price that is left to my own discretion. I get more than a massage though. It's like doing something for several reasons and here are a few of them: I get the massage because I like it. Surprisingly, my 84 year old masseuse has unrivaled strength even at such ...
