In the Preface of "One Day in the Life of a Filipino SOB", I said in 1993: “I wrote with humor into both books because of a belief that I share with Simon Wiesenthal, who made a study of humor as ‘the weapon of unarmed people.’ In his book, The Sound of Polish Laughter, Alan Levy added that ‘Polish humor, like Jewish humor, is the humor of a wounded people. It helps people who are oppressed to smile at the situation that pains them . . .’
“I continue with humor and tell the jokes currently circulating in the Philippines and among Filipinos in the United States. The belief I share with Simon Wiesenthal has been bolstered by Aly Mahmoud, who wrote: ‘. . . Once again, confronted with troublesome issues, the Egyptians have responded with a crop of jokes. They have traditionally coped with problems big and small with bitter jokes, the little man’s defense against overbearing rulers and great events beyond his control . . .’” By the way, only members of this website can access the said preface at this URL: http://www.mabuhayradio.com/life-of-a-filipino-sob-novel/preface-of-one-day-in-the-life-of-a-filipino-sob So, to honor the Egyptian writer Aly Mahmoud, I posted in the Facebook and in the Shout Box of this website: "Did you know that reports from Egypt say that President Mohamed Morsi
sent a last-minute appeal to President Barack Obama for help? That the
Egyptian leader made the mistake of sending the message to Mr. Obama by
Morsi, oops, Morse Code? -- An exclusive bulletin from the Coconut News
Network (CNN Kuno)."
