Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Feisty Philippine Senator Miriam Santiago is proposing an additional penalty for politicians found guilty in the pork barrel scam that has cost the country some Ten Billion Pesos in taxpayer money, and she is taking a cue from American singer Miley Cyrus.

Cyrus recently enraged netizens after she posted Instagram photos of her pet pig Bubba Sue getting a royal treatment — a pedicure.  The photos showed Cyrus holding Bubba Sue while another person was painting the pig’s hooves with engine-red nail polish. Many commented that this constituted animal abuse.image

Today, Senator Santiago proposed that every male politician convicted in the pork barrel scam be given not just a pedicure but also a manicure in pig pink nail polish — and not just ordinary nail polish, but permanent, indelible paint.

Santiago said this penalty will be a life-time reminder for the  pork barrel scammers of their horrible crime, while giving the scammed taxpayers a way to easily identify those who pocketed their money.

“These politicians are pigs,” Santiago told reporters, “and they should be treated as such.”

The senator however emphasized that her proposal is in no way an endorsement of what Cyrus did to poor Bubba Sue.

MAN SUES WIFE FOR DIVORCE, SAYS SHE HAS CHRONIC SELFITIS

CaptureLos Angeles, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – A Latino man is suing his wife of one year for divorce because he says she is suffering from selfitis.

In March of this year, The Adobo Chronicles broke the story about the American Psychiatric Association officially classifying the taking of selfies as a mental disorder.  The disorder, called selfitis (inflammation of the ego), comes in three stages: borderline, acute and chronic.

In arguing his case before a lady judge, Richard R. says his wife  Mariana has chronic selfitis and is petitioning the court to force the wife to submit to a psychiatric examination and undergo sexual therapy. “Her condition has severely affected our relationship.  The moment she opens her eyes in the morning and wherever she goes or whatever she’s doing, she’s always taking self photographs. We don’t even have time to have a nice romantic dinner and sex between us is down to just three days a week, all because she is pre-occupied with taking selfies,” the man said.

Mariana says there is nothing wrong with taking selfies. “Everybody is doing it.”

Richard asked the judge that if his wife does not agree to see a psychiatrist and sexual therapist, he would like a divorce and a reimbursement for $8,000 which he spent to bring his wife from Argentina. The case is now in the hands of the jury.

EGYPTIAN MAN FOUND TO BE PREGNANT!

CaptureCairo, Egypt (The Adobo Chronicles) – A male bus driver went in for a urine test as part of a routine drug screening by his employer, the General Transport Authority in Egypt. The results came back positive, but not for illegal substance.

The man was totally shocked when the doctor told him, “Congratulations, you’re pregnant!”

Apparently, the man used urine sample he took from his wife earlier. He had no idea that his wife was two months pregnant.

Moral of the story: keep a pregnancy home test kit handy at all times, and use it before submitting yourself for drug testing. Especially if you’re male.
