A loud mouth Texan sat on the barber's chair.
"I'll have a shave and a shoe shine." The barber began to lather his face while a woman with the most beautiful breasts he had ever seen, knelt down and began to shine his shoes. She replied, "Sorry, I'm married and I’d never be unfaithful to my husband." The Texan said, "Tell him you're working overtime and I'll pay you the difference." She said, "You tell him; you're closer!” |

Besame Mucho.
"Bésame
Mucho" (Kiss me a lot) is a song written in 1940 by Mexican songwriter Consuelo Velázquez.[1]
It is one of the most famous boleros, and was recognized in 1999 as the most sung and
recorded Mexican and Latin American song in the world. The song was inducted
into the Latin Grammy Hall of Fame in 2001.[2]
According
to Velázquez herself, she wrote this song even though she had never been kissed
yet at the time and kissing, as she heard, was considered a sin.[3][4]
She was
inspired by the piano piece "Quejas, o la Maja y el Ruiseñor" from
the 1911 suite Goyescas by Spanish composer Enrique Granados, which he later also included
as Aria of the Nightingale in his 1916 opera of the same name (Wikipedia)

"Besame Mucho"
Besame besame mucho
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine
Besame besame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine
This joy is something new my arms enfolding you, never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be holding you close to me whispering you I adore
Dearest one if you should leave me
Each little dream would take wing and my life would be through
Besame besame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true
Besame besame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true.
Each time I cling to your kiss I hear music divine
Besame besame mucho
Hold me my darling and say that you'll always be mine
This joy is something new my arms enfolding you, never knew this thrill before
Whoever thought I'd be holding you close to me whispering you I adore
Dearest one if you should leave me
Each little dream would take wing and my life would be through
Besame besame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true
Besame besame mucho
Love me forever and make all my dreams come true.

Dear Philip
Please share with our batch mates.
Memorial Service for late Prof. Tissa Kappagoda
I watched the 2 hrs 22 minutes long video recording sent to us by Philip with emotion and mixed feelings of sadness and joy. He would be missed by the family and his colleagues, patients and work mates but the memories of his achievements and dedicated services would remain cherished for a long time.
The memorial service was so meticulously conducted in open air location and the organisers were fortunate to have such glorious sunny weather .
The younger daughter Shanthi appeared so calm and steady and emotionally strong to maintain her M.C. role with such dignity and humility.
Following a brief welcome speech by her on behalf of the family, a large no of speakers addressed the large gathering to share their memorable events and experiences they could recollect about Tissa.
They were so varied from medical and academic colleagues, work mates, support staff, patients and families, research assistants/ students and few more.
His elder brother Nihal spoke on behalf of the Kappagoda family whilst a Sri Lankan Buddhist monk conducted a very brief but salient religious service appreciated by the large gathering of local community.
The speeches were heart warming, emotional and moving but covered most of his amazing qualities as an excellent and dedicated clinician, research worker and a tough mentor, workaholic, academic brilliance, being a wonderful husband and a loving father, author of several publications and above all humble, friendly and a much loved human being.
Tissa deserved all the praise and he would have appreciated in silence but with great admiration. The family would have been greatly comforted with such an amazing flash back of his exceptional life and career progress as narrated by such a varied admirers.
Iam glad that I watched the video in full and felt proud to have been a batch mate of such repute and fame.
Thank you Philip for sharing.
May he attain the ever lasting bliss of Nibbhana.
