This is from Pickles by Brian Crane.
This really reminds me of my friend who is past mid-60 and yet he thinks he is very much younger.
For example, driving past a stalled car with a man who looks in his 50s, yet he would say, ‘pity that old man’ which implies he is younger.
Similarly, he would comment that it is no fun playing mahjong with a group of old ladies and knowing those he referred to, they are in their 50s or early 60s.
He still eyes beautiful girls coming and going while we are in the coffee shop, with a preference for voluptuous figures, preferably scantily dressed. But in a coffee shop, such displays are few and far between, so a rare appearance would be relished. I enjoy watching him gloat over the poor girl, his ex-ray eyes ‘undressing’ her.
No doubt, someone who is young at heart!
How should we judge a government?
In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X
Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain
Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham
"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan
