Laughing Into 2023- Part 2

Stretch your ribs with laughter: I was at the wedding ceremony and this woman opposite looked at me and said" every time I smile, I feel like inviting you to my place". I asked in excitement" Are you single?" She confidently replied(No) I am a Dentist! I used to fear lions until Samson killed one. Now, I fear terribly what killed Samson. I remember when I used to work at the Zoo , and my boss one day fired me for leaving the gate open, I mean who would steal a lion, leopard, python or crocodile! The pain of renewing a driver's license when you don't own a car. You have to renew it again and again just to go home walking again! When I was young I used to think that" Red colour" meant danger. That's why during rain season I would never wear anything"Red". Because, I always thought that lighting would strike me at anytime! What confuses most is when police shoots a thief , rushed to the hospital and the Doctors saves him, taken to Court and the Judge sentences him to death! I remember when my landlord gave me a quick notice. But, when the flood came both of us packed out, at the same time without delay! Witchcraft is when a swimmer starts competition with a boxer just because both are sportsmen! I tried to stop two boys from fighting but when I heard their story I left them. How do you borrow my trouser, and you take it to the tailor for alterations! My problem now is my sister who left her identical twins with me. I was feeding one while reading posts on social media. Now, I don't know who has eaten or not! I nearly joined my ancestors just this morning as I was zipping my trouser, the zip mistakenly hooked my fundamental human rights! As a man, I remember when my wife had a first child. She said she will never repeat, today she is a proud mother of 5 children!
