Laughing Into 2023 -Part 3

Comedians have a skill of cracking people's ribs: Can you imagine, I went for Police recruitment. They ordered us to run 200 metres. I ran and took the first place, later to be arrested by Police and told me that I was running like a thief! The teacher told me to solve the maths problem on the board. So I went up and erased the maths problem.... I solved the maths problem! He regrets studying about Zinjathropus. That baboon has never helped him in any way! The only time my Uncle hugged me was when power went off. He thought I was the maid! Heartbreak is not friendship. I remember scratching somebody's head , in the bus thinking that's it's mine! When I was young I used to think that there were people inside the radio singing! The way I used to chase my sister's husbands when they were dating... Today, I even feel shy visiting them. When I was young I used to think that twins are as a result of marrying a beautiful woman! Looking this beautiful like a divorced woman who's trying to get the Ex husband attention and get him to regret! You are too young to understand marriage issues. All you see is the structure of a lady. Wait until you grow up and marry! When I was young, I used to fear snakes until it talked to someone in the garden of Eden. Now, I fear whom it talked to! I was vibing to a latest song in my neighbour's car. Now, I was forced to contact the car dealer. Thanks to my neighbor for now am in for a loan car! People are busy debating about the correct English phrase when the owners of the language have never bothered to speak our native languages! Husband and wife are against each other's neck. This drama can't end like boxing. The ship can't have two captains so one has to be a follower! What do you call a condition where a woman only becomes loving when her husband gets paid! I remember when I went for interviews. They asked me, " tell us more about yourself". You know I explained until the next day! When my brother was young, he thought education is the only key to success until when he graduated and found that they have changed the padlock! I thought my boyfriend was ignoring my calls for 3 solid days. Only to discover that he was in police cells!
