In lieu of anything better or meaninful here are some randomish snapshots of Namlife.
The Sister
On having fixed a computer problem for someone.
Him: “Thank you so much. I must get you something. You can have my sister to marry”
Me: “Oh well, thanks but you shouldn’t really give away your sister like that… But, have you got a picture?”
Him: “No pictures. It is rude to refuse a gift!”
The Bed
Went to someones house to visit and was in his room.
Him: “Come, come, sit on my bed. You are a single man after all”
Me (sitting down): “What if I was married?”
(Some consultation between him and another friend in the room)
Him: “You’d have to sit on the floor”
Typos in Meeting
In a long meeting about babies and suchlike I spotted the following two typos:
1. When talking about resuscitation for newborns an objective was; “encourage resuscitation with bag and musk”
Pretty powerful musk.
2. On a form for recording ante-natal checkup information: “Fatal Heartrate”
Hint: Nearly always 0.
