How To Irritate Your Husband (Tip #2)

Cesar Mancao, witness to the Dacer-Corbito Murder
Talk Politics. This will be especially effective if you’re not the political type, like me. Rarely reads the newspaper. Would rather watch cartoons with the kids. Then out of the blue you drop your obnoxious political views on him. If he looks at you like you just released a toxic fart or if he gives you a tight smile and says “Wala wala ka gid imo ya!”, you will know that you have riled him up.
These days the Cesar Mancao issue is what gets my husband all excited when watches the Philippine news on TFC. “Hmmph! Tapos gid ina si Ping Lacson”, he’d snort. When DOJ Secretary Raul Gonzales says on TV that Cesar Mancao wants to stay in the US because he fears for his life, it is my turn to snort, ”Hmmmph! If he thinks he’s safe in the US, he’s making a big mistake! Lacson has lots of people here.” Hubby takes his eyes off the screen and turns his head toward me. He is startled that I have something to say about current events.
Death by fish scaler. How absolutely medieval! I’d take a bullet in the head any day.
Me: Isn’t he aware that Senator Lacson owns Islands Pacific Supermarket (a Filipino grocery store chain in California)?
Hubby:Erap owns that chain.
Me: Ping owns Islands Pacific. That’s what many people say. My coworker saw Jodi Santamaria (a Filipina actress) handing out food samples at their Vermont/Melrose branch. She is married to the senator’s son.
Hubby: So what if Ping owns Islands Pacific?
Me: Don’t you see? They have lots of branches. Each store has approximately 3-5 people cleaning fish with fish scalers. Deadly tools, if you ask me. All Ping has to do is say “Attack!” and they’ll swarm around Mancao. He’d have no fighting chance. Himbisan lang ina nila si Mancao….
Hubby didn’t bother to dignify my political views with a comment. Not even a glance at my direction. That’s okey. I know I got to him. His silence tells me so. Yey! Two points for me.

Why do you love to irritate your husband so much? Why don’t you just go at him with the fish scaler?
Then dip him in Datu Puti vinegar.

Mavs, dumduman mo pa gali ang dumangas accent ko nga gina imitate ninyo ni razelyn? Indi bala kasadya mang-irita sang tawo? Obra mo man ina,e.
Tionks, kung ikaw gani mag comment daw nakulbaan ko magbasa kay makahang man nga daan ang mga pulong mo.
