My favourite African quips
These are different short conversations I have collected during the trip.
- Me: what do you think a rhino looks like? My dad: a cross between an elephant, a dinosaur and a lawnmower.
- Me: here are the chic shacks. My mum: these chic shacks are false advertising; they should be called shabby chic.
- My brother: look at the great migration. My dad: I think there are 4 million. Me: don't exaggerate -- there are only about 12 million
- A person who worked in a lodge we stayed at called veronica: I am veronica what is my sons name. My mum: my son is called Azai. Veronica: my son is handsome (referring to Azai).
- My dad: should I go right or left. The lady who had hitched a ride in our car: yes.
- My dad:where is the noah bus. A bus driver: over here. My dad: this is not a noah bus. The bus driver: yes it is. My dad: no where is the noah bus. The bus driver: but this one is more express than noah.
- The nurse: I am just going to flush your cannula. My brother: no. The nurse started. My brother: I'm going to shoe you out of the hospital. The nurse continues. My brother kicks the nurse on the belly. After being kicked three times the nurse storms out. I'm glad my brother doesn't speak Swahili.
- My brother: why is it so sunny. My dad: then put on your sunglasses. Me: they call it a desert for a reason. My brother puts on the sunglasses my brother: it just went darker; it is like someone turned on battery saver.
