Message from Dawood








To my friends  who enjoy a glass of wine...
And those who don't and are always
  seen with a bottle of water in their hand.

As Ben Franklin said:
In wine  there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials,
Scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day,
At the end  of the year we would have absorbed
More than 1  kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria
Found in  feces.
In other  words, we are consuming 1 kilo of  poo..

However,
We do NOT  run that risk when drinking wine & beer
(or  tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor)
Because  alcohol has to go through a purification process
Of boiling,  filtering and/or fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poo
Wine =  Health
Therefore,  it's better to drink wine and talk stupid,
Than to drink water and be  full of shit
.

There  is no need to thank me for this valuable information:
I'm doing  it as a public  service!

'Kalu Nana's visit to Avissawella.





'Kalu Nana', his wife, and his cousin, dropped in at my residence in Avissawella. We had a rollicking time recalling old times. Above are some photos taken at that time.
