Out on a Lim.

(From Philippine Daily Inquirer)

I AM sorry that Mayor Alfredo Lim is not one of the 4 aces. His idea to spray drug traffickers green, so that the vigil aunties could take them out is commendable. But Gloria said, "Never say dye," so Mayor Lim was put in limbo. That makes him, the hero and her, the heroine.

The Japanese have made an offer that the Myanmar government cannot refuse. They give up Suu Kyi, and receive sukiyaki. That will beef up their economy when they meat.

The Church should not be too hard on the Bishop who sired a child. After all, they gave him a bishopric.

Over the weekend, my daughter watched "The Hunchback of Notre Dame." Quasimodo had bad breath and had to gargoyle every day. He was deaf and had no job so the Bishop suggested to the Vicar that he should ring the church bells. The Vicar told Quasimodo and Quasimodo tolled the bell. If you think these puns are bad, my limericks are verse. Anyway, at the end of the film, he plunges to his death and a policeman says, "He's a dead ringer for the guy in the tower." He was posthumously awarded the NO BELL prize for the second chime.

One of my friends suffered a root canal repair for 2-1/2 hours but refused novocaine. He wanted to transcend dental medication. He left at tooth hurty.
