A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender said, 'Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible.' 'What do you mean?' said the pirate, 'I feel fine.'
Bartender, 'What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before.'
Pirate, 'Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm
fine now.'
Bartender, 'Well, OK, but what about that hook? What happened to your
hand?'
Pirate, 'We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword
fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really.'
Bartender, 'What about that eye patch?'
Pirate, 'Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. I
looked up and one of them shit in my eye.'
Bartender, 'You're kidding, you lost an eye just from bird shit??'
Pirate, 'It was my first day with the hook.'

Since I can't sleep and it is around 1:36 in the morning and I am still in front of my computer, browsing the net, reading some content, watching youtube videos and reading emails. I was so bored but still can't sleep so I decided to clean-up my inbox and found this joke story sent by a good friend of mine.
Philippines is on Economic Crisis???
It was a rainy April Saturday afternoon, too early for a rainy season in the Philippine weather. I think this is what they call the effects of global warming. Anyway, since it is raining the whole afternoon today, I was detained inside the house and stuck in front of my computer and TV. I never watched news on TV for quite sometimes now but this afternoon I happened to watch the afternoon local news. I was so surprised that the news from one local channel to another has been always talking about the food shortage and the so-called economy crisis in the Philippines. Surprised in the sense that every night when I went out to buy foods or visit a friend, I can see how young people can live like spoiled rich brats in bars, drinking pints or beers, smoking like one on those factories along the coastal places, eating at the fancy restaurants, drinking coffee at the expensive coffee shops and socializing with one another in some expensive places. Wow! I cannot even gulp one can of beer because of the two reasons; I don't enjoy beers and other hard beverages, and second I think being a social drinker / person is an expensive lifestyle.
I hope news anchors and reporters could see the pictures of the Philippines at night and show it to the people if we really are on a crisis with those gimmick places infested with social and social climbers young people, because if this is what I normally see every night then I don't think Philippines is on crisis.
Just a thought on this rainy April Saturday afternoon.

Cebu priest Msgr. Achilles Dakay says 'surgery sc@ndal' man should also be blamed
MANILA, Philippines - A Catholic priest on Wednesday said that the 39-year old man who underwent rectal surgery in Cebu should also accept part of the blame.
According to the priest who is based in Cebu, the patient's trouble started when he contacted an alleged call boy who then stuck a body spray canister up the man's rectum at the height of their sexual act.
“They seem to forget the whole thing. They are blaming the doctors for what they (did) but I think they should blame the guy for what they did," Monsignor Achilles Dakay, spokesman for Cebu Archbishop Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, said.
Dakay's comment was aired over church-run Radio Veritas.
The patient had admitted in previous media interviews that he picked up a male prostitute. He said he was drunk when the incident happened in January.
He had an operation at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center (VSMMC) to have the canister removed. However, doctors recorded the surgery and had fun doing it.
The video has been posted on YouTube.
Dakay said that while the church is not condemning homosexuals, it will not tolerate homosexual acts.
“They are made that way but if they did what is prohibited, that’s another thing," he added.
In the same interview, Dakay said that homosexuality is “prevalent" in Cebu, the province where the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan erected the country’s first Cross.
“We should be ashamed. It’s not just scandalous, (it’s) very shameful," he said, referring to the spread of the surgery video on the Internet.
Danton Remoto, co-founder of the gay group Ang Ladlad, earlier commented that the patient was victimized twice: first when the male prostitute inserted the canister inside his rectum, and second, when the video of the operation spread via YouTube.
Ang Ladlad, composed of gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender, sent a psychologist to Cebu to counsel the patient who is filing charges against the hospital’s medical team and were seen misbehaving during the procedure.
Remoto said Dakay comment towards the incident is "expected" because this is the Catholic Church's stand towards homosexuality.
"Msgr. Achilles was just reiterating the church's stand," he said.
Remoto reiterated his call to gay individuals to "be careful" when engaging in solicited sex.
"In the end, we are one with the Catholic Church," he said. - GMANews.TV

The issue here is not Danilo's act of having sexual intercourse with the callboy, the issue is the medical malpractice that the Hospital doctors and nurses did during operation. In the US, medical malpractice is a serious issue and I don't think because we are in the Philippines, we shouldn't take it a seriously, because health matters to us all and in the medical operation the life of the patient is at stake and it is not a laughing matters.
I wonder if the doctors and nurses on the video are coming from "some med schools in the Philippines."
I also want to say this, what if Msgr. Dakay, fell down the stairs because he was so careless and broke his arm, should we blame him for what happened? Just like Danilo's careless act of having sex with some callboy. Anyway, I don't want to call this an issue but Dakay's point of blaming the victim is pointless for me because it is out of the real issue and it's the Medical Malpractice.
