Doña Panoplia de Altopedo, a lady of prosapia, suspected that Don Sinople, her husband, was unfaithful to her. She hired a private detective and asked him to follow her and tell her where she had gone. The next day the investigator gave him the report: “Her husband went to a seedy bar last night, then to a disreputable cabaret, and finally he went to the Kamawa Motel.” “Ah!” Doña Panoply exclaimed with a triumphant accent. “Now I really have grounds to ask for a divorce!” “I don’t recommend it,” the detective suggested. “I was following her husband, but her husband was following you.”
The good father Arsilio ran into Pirulina on a village street, a girl who had gone to live in the city some time ago. She told him, “I remember you were very fond of being with men. I hope you have converted.” “I converted, father,” Pitulina assured him. “I’m no longer an amateur. Now I’m a professional.” Don Algon, a company executive, went to one of those restaurants where you eat rich but leave poor. He ordered a medium rare cut of red meat. (He postulates a wise kitchen adage: “The cooked is well cooked, and the roast is poorly roasted.) At the end of the meal, the waiter asked: “How did Mr. coriander and there it was.
In the short time that he has been Bishop of Saltillo, Monsignor Hilario González has earned not only the respect, but also the loving affection of his parishioners. His simplicity, his total dedication to his mission make him an exemplary prelate. Well, it happens that Don Hilario has a wife. No one is startled and say: “Ah jijo!” or any equivalent expression. The word “wife” serves, among other meanings, to name the ring that the bishops wear from the day of his consecration. All bishops, then, have wives. Formerly that ring had to carry an amethyst, a kind of fine quartz whose purple color, a sign of mourning in the liturgy of Catholicism, served to remind dignitaries of the passion and death of Jesus.
Today that requirement no longer survives, and the wife can be a simple ring without any stone or adornment. In recent days I was in the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the Autonomous University of Nuevo León. The prestigious campus is celebrating the first 70 years of its age. I was pleased -and honored- to see Dr. Reyes Tamez Guerra, who, in addition to having been director of that Faculty, was a great rector of the UANL and an excellent secretary of Public Education, and his wife , Dr. Cristina Rodríguez, to whose research work we owe valuable fruits that have given luster to the Nuevo Leon House of Studies.
At the end of my talk, Dr. José Ignacio González Rojas, my most gracious host, gave me a precious gift that is now in my living room: a beautiful violet-colored sparkling quartz stone, that is, an amethyst, whose reflections add beauty. of its light on the walls of the room. I also received a bag with the tasty sweets that are made in the citrus region of Nuevo León, so I left there like the jibarito in the song: crazy happy with my shipment, and also very grateful to the teachers and students of the Faculty, who with their applause and displays of affection sent me back to my native Saltillo thanking Mrs. Life for the gift of having lived those moments. (And also for the amethyst, for the sweets and for having seen my friends Reyes and Cristina). FINISH.

Malbéne, the controversial Lovanian theologian, has his ear to the ground. He himself admits it. He says: “Heterodoxy is more interesting than orthodoxy.”
In a recent interview for the Channel Truth and Life, from Luxembourg, the interviewer asked him if he believed in the devil.
“I have plenty of reasons to believe in him,” answered Malbéne, “but my personal logic leads me to doubt his existence.” God’s love is infinite, and reaches all creatures. God cannot love the devil, who is evil. The dilemma, then, would be this: either the devil does not exist or God’s love is not infinite.
Malbéne’s subtleties scandalize some of his colleagues.
“It’s a good thing they’re shocked,” he declares. So they take some of the boredom out of him.
See you tomorrow!…

Maybe they call me crazy
But it has to be 90.
The plain truth, 70
It’s quite little for me.
