Long and Short call…



As am always saying some of these terms that we were taught in lower primary do not make sense. Seriously! Queen Elizabeth since we learnt your English. For example “please teacher may I go for a short call...” and what was fascinating, we were taught that there was short and long call, yet only expected to use the short call sentence while seeking permission to visit the toilet.

Okay. Am not blaming the queen, our teachers can also take some blame but on the other hand they were also taught the same, so we blame the queen and her teachers.

I think the wisdom of short and long call comes from the assumption that when one goes to 'pee' they do not take a lot of time emptying the bladder. But I beg to differ there are times when you are so pressed by that short call, you are forced to take few minutes before the muscles  relax and the tap opens.

As compared to the long call where, when pressed everything is just ready to come out you just sit on the toilet seat or squat on your pit latrine and viola! the bowel opens. Or maybe maybe it is a running stomach which in this case things come out faster than a short call.

I will be right back! am going for a call…

Are Church Leaders Fighting The Condom Or Sex???...

I still cannot understand what the hullabaloo is all about with the condom advert. My view, that advert makes a lot of sense. The makers of the advert are realistic and admitting that married people are having illicit sex or enjoying the forbidden fruits outside of their matrimonial homes. What I construed from the advert is that the woman is not having her nocturnal exercises at home and hence her need to keep a side dish to provide  those essential services. Am sure there are many valid reasons in homes that are driving couples to leave their matrimonial beds. That, I think is what the church leaders should be addressing, not the sheath they choose for protection. We need to know why respectable men/women feel the need to quench their thirst away from home. And the best people to furnish us, with that information is the church leaders because they are the ones who do counseling to these couples. Church leaders should think of how to address the sex subject rathe...

Luo is a Romantic Language…

In my short or long stay on this earth I have had the privilege of interacting with many of the languages spoken in Kenya and one dialect I would say has stood out and I have come to love is the Luo dialect. The dialect according to me is very romantic; it should actually be classified among the others of the world which are regarded as romantic. The way their words flow, as they speak, one has no option but to enjoy listening. This is a language, firstly the words rhyme so well with English language; secondly a word can be used in so many instances until one gets confused. Take for example the now common words ‘ Gini Wesikawo ” when these words were spoken by supporters of one team who were shouting to the supporters of the opposing team, even before a football match was over that they have taken the trophy the same words have now evolved or transformed until they are featuring in adverts as a way of bidding us goodbye. Then there was the music duo Gidi Gidi and Maji M...

Masaku sevens ….I hear it was a show to behold….

I have really been thinking a lot about what I hear happened during Masaku 7’s. And mind you though being in Machakos on that day I got home early before all the free live movies started. So I just heard just like some of you. No wonder people say free things are not good. In one way or the other let us be glad it happened now in broad day light the last time Masaku sevens was in Machakos the young people were discreet they did their mating in the darkness where their parents could not see them and the consequences of what happened at night were visible the following morning with the littering of their implements of trade. But this time around I guess all bets were off and behold they threw caution in the air and hence the reason for the daytime movies.                                       ...
