by David Leonhardt

Every now and then a quarrel breaks out down at the barber shop, lines are drawn, challenges leveled and, with any luck, somebody walks out with very few blood stains. All over a seemingly innocent discussion: What is the greatest sport on earth?

Some say “football”. Some say “baseball”. Canadians say “hockey“. The rest of the world says “soccer”. (Actually, they say “football”, too…but they mean “soccer”.)

I say: “kissing”. Yes, kissing is the greatest sport on earth. Allow me to explain just a few of the reasons.

ATTENTION: If bad breath (yours or your partner’s) makes you uncomfortable kissing, you need The Bad Breath Report

Kissing is the most versatile sport around. There are so many types of kisses to choose from – at least one for just about any occasion. There is the quick peck on the cheek kiss, the peck on each cheek kiss, the peck on your nephew’s cheek kiss while grabbing the other cheek flab with your hand, the wildly passionate kiss, the elegant kiss on the hand, the dreaded kiss of death, the “Hey you! Kiss this!”, and even the Florida town of Kissimmee (founded, no doubt, by early Italian pioneer kissers).

The Art of Kissing Is Easy

Kissing is easy to transport. It really doesn’t matter where you are. You can kiss: at the gym, in the boardroom, in the space shuttle, even in Alaska from June through September.

Kissing requires so little equipment, which means you can do it even when not prepared for the occasion, and even when you have to travel light. This makes it the ideal participation sport for businessmen, world travelers and marsupial groupies.

Kissing always livens things up. Try this: the next time you are in an oh-so-booooring meeting that seems to last oh-so-foreeeeever, why not just kiss somebody. Go ahead; try it. See how it livens things up?

Kissing is legal in all 50 states and most earth-bound countries. Rumors are circulating that kissing will even be legalized soon on Mars, Jupiter and in Afghanistan.

Kissing is 100% biodegradable, so when you kiss somebody, you help the environment.

Kissing is safe to do in a moving vehicle, as long as you are not driving.

Kissing is non toxic…unless you kiss somebody who has just swallowed a bottle of Drano. Even so, kissing is still safe, as long as you do not use your mouth.

Kissing is non-fattening. This is perhaps the best news of all, because dieters now have something to keep their mouths busy while not eating, and smokers can quit smoking without having to chew candies until they a) need to diet or b) induce diabetes. (Read the headline: “Kissing prevents diabetes”)

Kissing is organic, low in sodium, preservative-free, low in saturated fats and does not contain dozens of delicious ingredients that cannot be pronounced, like javelchromopntheoremicherbicidic acid.

Most kisses are not tested on animals, but who am I to stifle your sense of adventure?

You can kiss just about everyone: your boyfriend, your aunt, your wife, your veterinarian, the Prime Minister of the Duchy of Grand Fenwick and your pet aardvark. Don’t try kissing them all at the same time, though…especially not your boyfriend and your wife.

Kissing meets the toughest safety regulations of any national or international sporting organization. Kissing has a tremendous safety record, except for the occasional locked braces. But a quick call for a AAA tow truck fixes that problem (CAA in Canada, AA in the UK, the local plumber in France)

Extreme Kissing NOT Recommended

The only recorded deaths involving kissing are by third parties, usually wives, husbands, spurned lovers and other spectators who somehow get past security and storm onto the playing field like that well-dressed gentleman at the Superbowl.

We do NOT recommend “extreme kissing”. For instance, don’t kiss an on-duty garbage truck; it is considered dangerous. Don’t kiss a metal fence-post in sub-zero weather; readers in northern climates know exactly what I mean. Don’t kiss any electrical outlets, or you’ll look like this.

Are you paying attention? This one is important. Don’t kiss the vacuum cleaner if you want to retain all your vital organs. It’s OK to kiss sandpaper, just don’t use your tongue. Don’t kiss a chainsaw; we feel this one is self-explanatory. And don’t kiss your office manager while on duty…unless you happen to be a work-from-home hermit like me.

But overall, kissing is so great that it makes baseball, hockey, football and soccer seem like bush league sports. Next time you hear a brawl at your local barbershop, just go in and give everyone a kiss. I guarantee that you will win the argument hands down. And if not, at least you will make some new friends to argue with.

We each have our daily routine and sometimes we get bored from the same activities over and over again.

That is why we have extra-curricular activities, vacations, hobbies etc. to take us out of sometimes boring mundane lives.

Browsing around in Powerbooks, I found a book titled, ‘This Book Will Change Your Life Again!’ by Benrik Limited.

The book instructs everyone, who gets hold of it, to follow the instructions indicated per day to make their lives more fun. ^^ Instructions included are not to be taken lightly for some are either twisted or weird in context and may degrade one’s ego but the fun is in there! LOL

The book is not of cheap value here in the Philippines, but I was able to get a copy of it (my poor wallet -_-). As a treat to the other members of Winglica, I’m placing some of the instructions here for fun. It would depend on you if you are to follow them seriously. But the most important value here is to have fun and laugh to yourself or with others

DISCLAIMER: The following instructions are not from me. They are from the book.

NOTE: Winglica will not be held liable for any harm that may come from following the instructions. Members will be held responsible for their own actions. So please still be cautious of your actions. Just a friendly warning. ^^

  • Parasite Day
    In our intricate society, there are many opportunities for free-riding. Today see if you can live literally at the expense of others.
    * Hitchhike a free ride in other people’s cars.
    * In restaurants, finish other people’s leftovers.
    * Listen to the radio from someone else’s set.
    * Watch TV through someone else’s window.
    * Enjoy the conversation of complete strangers.
    * Read books or newspapers over other people’s shoulders.
  • World Domination Day
    Make your plans in advance in case you need them
    * Your title: ___ Emperor ___ Supreme Ruler ___ Generalissimo ___ Other
    * Site of your world capital: ___ Paris ___ Washington ___ Beijing ___ Other
    * Capital to be renamed after: ___ You ___ Your Mom ___ Your Pet ___ Other
    * Enemies to be liquidated:
    * Friends to be promoted:
    * Countries to be abolished:

  • Today, apologize for something your ancestors did.
  • Today, smile inappropriately
    Aren’t you sick of smiling inappropriately? Who is it that tells you when to smile anyway? Corporate advertisers for the great toothpaste market are making millions from linking normal life with appropriate smiling. So today disrupt their marketing ploys by smiling when you shouldn’t. Smile when you hear bad news. Smile when you hear something offensive. Smile when a baby cries. Just smile, and smile and smile your face off, but only when you shouldn’t. Let them make a marketing campaign of that. You will either be applauded for being enigmatic or they will just incarcerate you for being a psychopath. And if they do, just smile.
  • Today infect someone
    We are all covered in germs, whether bacteria, protozoa, fungi or viruses. It is useless to fight it; instead, today, embrace our germ-ridden nature and pass some of yours on to the next guy. Shake hands, cough, hug, kiss – do whatever it takes to pass the bacterial love…
  • Today write a letter to your future self.
  • Today do everything in slow motion.

    The reason movies show dramatic events in slow motion isn’t just to let us see the details. Accidents and other high-stress situations are actually experienced in slow motion. Scientists speculate that the rush of adrenalin alters our brain’s perception of time – what the Greeks called tachypsychia or distortion of the “speed of the mind.” Those Greeks!
  • Make a sticker of any of the ff and place it on your back.
    * I’m Lonely. Please talk to me.
    * Today is my Birthday!
    * STOP following me.
    * AMNESIAC. If you recognize me, let me know.

Like it so far? Just inform us if you would like to read more. Ja! ^^
