False promise
A few days after assuring everyone that power supply disruptions are a thing of the past, PNG Power cut power again in parts of Port Moresby last weekend. Cannot keep their word, can they? What’s the excuse this time?
Travel upgrade
Colleague travelling home next weekend received a note from the airline yesterday saying he had been upgraded to Business Class. What? On closer look, he found out seats are available in Business Class but he had to pay an extra K1500 if he wanted to move up.
Little rain
As the weatherman forecast, it rained, albeit for a little while, on Saturday in Port Moresby. This heat wave is excruciating.
More water
Wife asks husband to lay off beer for a while because of his health. She did not have an answer to his reply: “But you told me to drink a lot of water. Beer is 95 per cent water!”
Watch your mouth
Do not speak about your money in front of a poor person. Do not speak about your good health in front of a sick person. Do not speak about your power in front of a weak person. Do not speak about your happiness in front of a sad person. Do not speak about your parents in front of an orphan. Because their wounds cannot bear more.
