Postscript on Donaire-Arce fight

A naughty woman boxing fan said: “No need for boxing authorities to have stretchers by the ringside. Just some pillows.”

***

She said this after seeing Manny Pacquiao getting knocked out by Juan Manuel Marquez and Jorge Arce getting the same treatment from Nonito Donaire.

***

Juan Manuel Marquez said he’s glad he’s given many breaks lately. Including a broken nose from Pacman.

***

Before his fight against Donaire, Mexican ring hero Arce said what happened to Pacquiao would happen again. It did happen again. Only it was to him that happened.

***

Before the bell rang to start the Donaire-Arce fight, the Filipino Flash was seen kissing the rosary held by one of his seconds. That’s to make sure, maybe, to prevent a repeat of what happened to Pacman.

***

Before the fight, Jorge Arce was seen making the Sign of the Cross three times. “Nganong napilde man?” said a Born-Again unbeliever. “Is God taking sides?” A bystander hearing this, said: “Magbuot diay ka ni God?”

Aren’t all Holy Bibles the same? Don’t they contain the same words of God? One reader asked: “Why is there a Catholic Bible, a Protestant Bible, a Born-Again Christian Bible, etc.” Maybe Brod Soc has the answer. Incidentally I have seen sold on the sidewalk a Bible in comics version.

***

There are at least three senatoriables whom PNoy brings along with him everytime he goes out of the Palace. These hopefuls are out of the Magic Circle of 12 in the surveys. From hopefuls to hopeless?

***

Another reader asked: “Is it OK or safe for a human being to eat on the same plate with her dog?” She said she saw a woman eating what looked like corned beef, which she shared on a common plate with her dog.

***

“I love my pet dog too,” said this reader, “but I don’t eat my food on the same plate with him (the dog). “Not that I don’t love my dog, but I think a line must be drawn somewhere.”

OVERHEARD. A husband and his wife were seen and heard quarreling over something. My informer: “They were quarreling over the dance called Gangnam.” Wife: “Bantog rang nalangan uli. Nihapit diay sa mga pundok sa batan-on ug nakigsayaw nila og gangnam. Nalimot nga 72 anyos na siya.” Husband: “Unsa may dautan ana?” Wife: “Kangil-ad nimo tan-awon nga nagbakang-bakang og sayaw. Ipatangtang ko nya imong ngan sa listahan sa mga senior citizens.”
