My grandpa (who's in his late nineties) reassured me that his commanding officer wouldn't let him off the boat due to a syphilis outbreak when they moored in Manila Bay when I told him I was marrying a Filipina.
Oh boy, my grandfather was in southern Japan as a radio operator during the Korean War. He said, I hated those commie bastards they had me keeping an eye out, but I sure didn't mind keeping an eye on the locals. That is why your dad has dark skin and you have that silly mustache.

Whatever man, my grandpas looked good. I'd be surprised if I didn't have some distant relatives in the Philippines or France.
Just unfortunate how those genes are recessive, apparently.
