At one time, Bangkok television aired the American situation comedy
LaVerne and Shirley. For whatever reason, officials there believed
that a disclaimer was necessary for the Thailand audience, so this
subtitle was added to each show: “The two women depicted in the
following episode are from an insane asylum.”
.
Personally, I’m thankful there is a little silliness in the world.
And I don’t mind not acting like everybody else. Like the
“irrepressible” educator and speaker Leo Buscaglia once said: “I don’t
mind if people think I’m crazy. In fact, I think it’s great! It
gives me tremendous latitude for behavior.”
.
Buscaglia knew how to laugh. And I think knowing how to laugh and
have fun is an important part of living.
.
Someone asked me what I do for fun. I felt I should answer with
something others enjoy, like golf or skiing. But my idea of fun is
not usually associated with entertainment and recreation. It is more
about squeezing as much enjoyment into every day as I can. Instead
of looking for something fun to do, I try to make whatever I do a
little more fun. And if I can’t always do things I enjoy, I can
learn to enjoy more of the things I do.
.
I like the word “enjoyment” because it has “joy” inside of it. So
does the word “rejoice.” And rejoicing is a way to find enjoyment of
life.
.
Speaking of Leo Buscaglia, he used to tell a story about his mother
and their “misery dinner.” It was the night after his father came
home and said it looked as if he would have to go into bankruptcy
because his partner had absconded with their firm’s funds. His
mother’s response was to sell some of her jewelry to buy food enough
for a grand feast. At first, other members of the family scolded her
for it. But she told them that “the time for joy is now, when we

I GUESS I may be getting just a teeny-weeny bit old, because I can remember when it was considered
rude to whistle in front of adults, the biggest bad words pickney used to cuss were ‘blouse and skirt’,'rahtid’ and ‘blow-wow’; and slackness was talking big bwoy stories.
..
I am probably not so young anymore, I guess, because I can remember when people used to charter JOS bus to go to outing at Gunboat beach. And the beach dem was clean! And bad boys were the ones riding skate, and playing marbles and racing board horse in the gutter water after rain... I remember when children were afraid of Johnkunnu - now even police fraid a pickney, ’cause pickney a shotta!
..
Call me archaic, but I remember when school children never had such a wide range of colourfully creative
chemical concoctions and toxic adventures to choose from such as sweets and snacks. For example, I saw one
recently marked cheese tricks and when you read the fine print carefully, you realized that the ingredients did not include any cheese - so-so tricks!
..
But I suppose it must be old age, because I also remember that children used to eat jackfruit, juneplum, naseberry, guinep, hogplum and tinkin toe; we used to relish treats like bustamante-backbone, drops, gizzada, toto, cut-cake and grater-cake. MEN USED TO DANCE WITH WOMEN after asking if they could have this dance!!
..
I must be clearly approaching dinosaur status, because I can vividly recall a period when independence time meant street dance on every corner, and we never had to import carnival to have revelling in the streets, and float parades were magnificent. I must have come from them dark ages, but I remember when man used to go party to dance with woman, not to “par wid man”, and women never had to walk naked to get attention.
