There was this cartoon in the Sunday funnies where a guy climbs up the highest mountain to seek the answer to the universal question, "What is the Secret to Happiness?" He finally gets to the top and meets this wise old man, complete with white beard, and wearing a long white robe. When asked the proverbial question, the old guy belts out, "Happiness can only be obtained with Wine, Wild Women, and Social Dancing!" (Okay dat's my clue to mix in an anecdote). After some thought, the climber explained, "But I'm married!" The old guy retorted, "Then Social Dancing is your only path to Happiness!" Well the climber took those words seriously like no can go wrong if he took up Social Dance lessons at the nearest dance schools or at the Palladium where various dance clubs have dance classes. Besides he thought, "Es goin' make my main squeeze one happy wahine." So he enrolls in the school of Slow-Slow-Quick-Quick-Slow, and Quick-Quick-Slow. He is a slow learner but he not goin' let any ting discourage him. After umpteen weeks of lessons, he decides to test his newly acquired skills at the Palladium and of course with his main squeeze at his side. Now it's a weekend and the big guns are out that night for a big night of fun dancing...you know da kine..da Filipino guys who can glide smoothly around the dance floor with the Waltz, Tango, and Foxtrot, and da Latin guys who can burn da floor with Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, and Cha Cha. Our main boy figured fo' sure he goin' look amateurish among those polished dancers but he remembered the words from his dance teacher, "Eh no shame! No body goin' spark you! Dey too busy dancing!" And he also remembered that he is da Leeda and if he leads well, his lady partner goin' follow like clockwork. So equipped with those words of wisdom, he downs a glass of Wine, grabs his Wild Wahine and Social Dances all night. He was something awesome and Happy. And so was his one Happy Wild Wahine. Now you figgah, is there's a point to learn from this story???
