Garlic

Today was a good day. An excellent day. A fantastic day. It was a great day for cricket.

Only one bad thing happened today. I asked Poo for a kiss: "One kiss, please!" Whenever I ask Poo for a kiss she smacks one right on my lips. But today, she said, "No." I thought she was joking. I asked her again, "one kiss, please!" But she said no again and went to the other room.

Later, I asked her: "Poo, I asked you for a kiss but you said no. Why?"

"Because I just ate a lot of garlic."

"There is an old man from Korea," she continued, "he eats a lot of garlic. He brushes his teeth with garlic. He washes himself with garlic. If he is sick, he eats garlic as medicine, and if he hurts, he rubs himself with garlic."

"So???" I was waiting for a punch line, "does he have a wife?"

"It's true!" she said, "I saw it on TV. He says: garlic is good for health!"

Great. Poo is taking health advice from an old Korean man on TV.
