Column 1 – The National

Too close
Colleague went to get a tooth treated and was shocked when the nurse almost rubbed her cheek against his. He is still trying to work out if that is part of the treatment.
Free shake
Workmate was rather taken aback when PMJM headed straight for him at a sports club on Friday and shook his hands. No words spoken. Now he knows what being popular means.
Not long-long
A traffic jam on a busy Port Moresby street was caused by a man choosing to sit in the middle of the road. Motorists had to be careful to avoid running over him. One driver however decided to head straight for him. He quickly moved to the side.
Political move
Political manoeuvring in anticipation of the 2022 general election are already underway. Testing the water early, so to speak.

From a reader: Attitude towards our women must change. They deserve the respect and same treatment as men. Wake up PNG!
Thought for today
Complaining about a problem without offering a solution is called whining.
