Cynical sexist jokes versus The Secrets of Old Age...

Husband versus wife: When it's not just a joke!

I posted two husband-versus-wife jokes yesterday. Then I remembered the BMW item I had posted earlier:

And now there's this rivetting court trial in mainland China:

I guess cynical jokes make one laugh. But nothing beats the heartwarming stuff...

The Secrets of Old Age

Before middle age – Do not fear, 

After middle age – Do not regret...

So enjoy your life while you can.

Don't wait till you can't even walk just to be sorry and to regret... So, as long as it is physically possible, visit places you wish to visit. Above all, treasure every moment with your other half; One of you will leave first.

Dream car revisited

Finally, while I am still "young at heart" (and only that)... I had said my dream car was the Volvo P1800.

Now I have to go to the shops to look for the diecast scale model (no need for COE, lah)...
