Euthanizing Euphemisms

"Girls usually crave for soil and calcium" (Samuel Basele commenting on females' unique mineral cravings.)


"She will kick the bush." (Ibrahim Kenyatta euthanizing euphemisms.)


"The Lord has provide us with air naturally without buying from anywhere." (Fascinating observations from Bosco Kombe.)


"We haven't seen each other for a long, but in God's grease we are together now." (Greasy grace from Jonah)


"When you die the body will remain in the dust, but the soul will go to the owner (God.)" (Never thought of it in those words... Larau Obeyle.)


"He says in a silent voice" (Eleemo Moga practicing the writing of stage directions in a drama dialogue.)


"That old man standing at the door wants to marry you since his first wife died. He promised that he will bring development to your family by buying your parents a black shiny limousine." (Jeremiah's Ilbilich's modern take on the bride price.)


"Haven't you heard about a girl in California who has three [years] and was married by a man of eighty and they really had a good relationship, until he died." (Jeremiah... again...)

  1. ..."the soul will go to the owner." That's awsome,. Seeing ourselves like that here on earth makes it easier, I think, to submit ourselves to God :)

  2. Okay, in his defense, when Bosco said: "The Lord has provide us with air naturally without buying from anywhere." I kind of told him that! Hahah! They had a hard time differing from goods and natural resources and kept calling air a good. Well, you can't purchase air, it's given freely...so they kept shouting, "Madame!! Air is a free gift from God!!" haha! So...ya, pole...totally my doing! Ooopsies. Poor kid, I've turned him loose on society walking around saying, "air is free! air is free!" hahaha.
