the son and an airport worker asked him what he was looking for. The village man scratched his head and looking confused, told them that he was looking for his rubber slippers which he had left at the bottom of the plane's stairs just before boarding. He told them he couldn't find his slippers anymore.

Holding back their laughter so as not to offend him, the son told him that the slippers could have been left behind at the other airport. The village man may have thought that going into the plane was just like going into people's house (our native houses are built on stilts) whereby before you go up, you will have to remove your slippers at the bottom of the ladder. That is one of the customs of our race. What he did not know was that, his slippers had no way of "reuniting" with him upon his landing in the other town!

STUFF IT LIKE THIS

A middle-aged man came to the rural clinic one day, seeking advice. A young nurse was stationed at the clinic to assist the male medical officer who was away on call at that time.

The Man, shaking his leg endlessly: Nurse, I have 14 children. How to stop the babies from coming?

Young nurse, blushing a bit, holding up a small packet: Do you know about this?

The man, eyed the packet closely, squinted his eyes hard while trying to figure out what it was: No.

Young nurse, blushing even more: When you want to "do" with your wife, use this.

The man: How?

Young nurse took the stuff out of the plastic, rolled it onto her index finger and then held it up: Use it like this and then you "do".

The man: OK.

The nurse gave him some supply that could last for at least a month, taking into consideration that he might want to "do" it every day and asked him to come back for more supply the following month.

The next month, the man didn't turn up. The month after, he turned up towards the end of the month with an accusing look.

Young nurse: You didn't come for your supply last month?

The man, sounded disappointed: What for? My wife is pregnant again.

Startled, the young nurse tried to explain: Maybe you didn't use the stuff properly?

The man: I followed like what you've showed me. Before I "do", I rolled the stuff onto my finger and I "do" my wife with my finger pointing upwards, WITH the stuff on it!
