Last Sunday was father’s day and we celebrated that day at home, away from the long queues for a table in restaurants in the malls.
I got a greet from a brother saying, happy grandfathers’ day. Indeed correct, that was one day of 12 months in a year that all my grandkids gather to give lolo a kiss and a hug.
Thanks God, someone thought of creating fathers’ day and grandfathers’ day.

The bragging went on for a short while until the general from the army asked the nave admiral, “When was the last time you had bed a woman?
“About 1950,” came the answer.
“You call that virile?” said the army general.
The admiral looked at his watch and said, “Well, it’s only 2215 now.”
