How should we judge a government?

In Malaysia, if you don't watch television or read newspapers, you are uninformed; but if you do, you are misinformed!

"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." - Malcolm X

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience - Mark Twain

Why we should be against censorship in a court of law: Publicity is the very soul of justice … it keeps the judge himself, while trying, under trial. - Jeremy Bentham

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no
responsibility at the other. " - Ronald Reagan

The Devil met his match

These days, people have so many different interests, like in games, watching videos, travelling and so on, that if you do not belong, you would feel left out and not join them in future.

Games like golf and mahjong can be addictive. Regulars would meet and play for hours. In fact, given the chance, they would not mind playing daily. On the one hand, it is good for socializing, while on the other hand, it can also make someone unsociable because for those of his friends not in it, they would avoid him. Many aspiring cronies of VVIPs made it through a game of the VVIP's special interest.

Dr. Mahathir is no golfer, but a horse rider and loves classical music. So we know who he mixes with, given a choice. Pak Lah is a golfer and cannot stand long speeches. Don't really know why, but I digress into something not really relevant to the joke.

Yes, it is to do with golfing. For a keen golfer, I am sure he or she will be tempted to accept all kinds of bet, including promises to abstain from anything, during a game of golf.

A stranger walks up to him and whispers, "Would you give up a fourth of your sex life?"

The golfer thinks the man is crazy and that his answer will be meaningless but also that perhaps this is a good omen and will put him in the right frame of mind to make the difficult putt and says, "OK." And sinks the putt.

Two holes later he mumbles to himself, "Boy, if I could only get an eagle on this hole."

The same stranger moves to his side and says, "Would it be worth another fourth of your sex life?"

The golfer shrugs and says, "Sure." And he makes an eagle.

Down to the final hole. The golfer needs yet another eagle to win. Though he says nothing, the stranger moves to his side and says, "Would you be willing to give up the rest of your sex life to win this match?"

The golfer says, "Certainly." And makes the eagle.

As the golfer walks to the clubhouse, the stranger walks alongside and says, "You know, I've really not been fair with you because you don't know who I am. I'm the devil and from now on you will have no sex life."

"Nice to meet you," says the golfer. "My name's Father O'Malley."
