Column 1

Tit for tat
Miss Three shouted “Good One!” when Mum, who had just scolded her, hit her leg against something inside the house. Yes, she quickly got one back on Mum.
Father’s Sunday
Please, family members – especially daughters – stop sending Dad on Father’s Day this Sunday those same boring “Best Dad” or “Most caring Dad” cards. Enough already. The value of your gifts should be increasing each year as he ages. It’s the best measure of how much you love him.
Traffic light
Two security guards caused chaos while trying to direct traffic at the busy Erima intersection in Port Moresby after the traffic lights went off. They are not qualified nor trained to direct traffic. That’s police work.
Special month
Something about September, or more specifically, those born this month (undoubtedly conceived during Christmas and New Year festivities), that is special and unique. What?
So fast
And there are only 115 more days to another Christmas, and all the goodies which come with it. Where did the days this year go?
Bad example
Leaders who openly flout the law for their own agenda, mostly political, do not deserve to lead as they are setting a bad example to the people. Just resign.
Irish joke
An average human walks 900 miles a year and drinks 22 gallons of beer. It means the average human gets 41 miles per gallon. Not bad!
Food for thought
Remember that distance does not keep people apart. Silence does (especially in this modern age of advanced technology).
