During breakfast this morning, Paw recanted his life’s stories while working in the Navy as a steward and in Hotel Pilipinas as a janitor.
11/14/2011 07:44am: Paw was asked by the American guests: “Why isn’t this elevator working?” Of course, there was no “Out Of Order” sign. Paw replied: “The elevator was destroyed.” He didn’t think of saying that it was not working.
11/14/2011 07:42am: Paw was asked by the admirals wife: “What is the jelly for the admiral?” He, like most Filipinos who grew up with no knowledge of American food, replied: “Smuckers!” He doesn’t recall the flavor.
This was one of those few times Paw actually laughed out loud and so did Maw. His eyes became animated but I couldn’t look directly at him but saw Maw had to control her laughter to avoid popping her brain veins.
