MANILA: Billboards are generally a nuisance, but there's one I especially like that always makes my day. That's the one showing a pretty mini-skirted girl bending over a handbag with her splendid legs spread wide.  

Young men and adolescent boys often go under the billboard and look up in hopes of discovering more of her. The picture does not oblige, of course, because it is not 3D. They then shake their heads in mock disappointment, and everybody has a good laugh.
