Marriage_25 years_1 — 25 Years of marriage

Henry and Christine have just celebrated 25 years of marriage.

And their union having been mostly peaceful, Henry ventures to ask the famous question of trust to his wife, “Darling, have you ever cheated on me?”

“Well,” answers Christine, “since you want to know… Yes, I have cheated on you three times. The first time, it was when you needed a loan from the bank, do you remember? No bank would trust you enough to lend you anything, then one day, the commercial director of the bank came to our house and signed the contract without asking any questions …”

“Oh! You did that for me…,” Henry exclaims,

“It is thus thanks to that we have become rich. And the second time?”

“The second time,” explains Christine, “it was when you had caught that highly contagious disease and no doctor would come near you. One day, a surgeon from the hospital suddenly came to operate on you…”

“Ah darling, you really saved my life, that time…” remarks Henry before adding:

“I am so lucky to have married you. And the third time?”

“The last time, it was when you ran for president of our city’s soccer club. Do you remember? You were missing 42 votes to be elected…”

I wonder what would have happened had the wife asked the husband? When you ask tough questions, be prepared for the answers! Smile and have a great day!

African Joke : Psalm 1 – Verse 29

On August 16, 2021August 16, 2021 By Dr. Y.In Great Laughter1 Comment

While flirting with a girl he met, Tom caresses her thigh.

The girl tells him, “Handsome, remember psalm 1, verse 29”

Tom apologizes, but 20 min later, he starts again. The girl repeats again “psalm 1, verse 29.”

That night, when he gets home, he opens his bible to find psalm 1, verse 29.

Here is what the psalm says: “Go further in your search and you will find glory.”

Tom, astounded says, “Damn! I am so unlucky!”

P.S.: I had you … right? If you open your Bible, you will see that the first psalm in the Book of Psalms does not have 29 verses but only 6. Smile for the day is bright!

Netflix commissions its first African animated series

On April 19, 2019April 19, 2019 By Dr. Y.In Great Laughter, Great Moments3 Comments

This article is from Variety Reports. It is a step forward and I applaud the great work of Malenga Mulendema and Malcolm Wopea. I also hope that we Africans can and will fund our own animated series which will be broadcast around the world as well. For the full article, go to Variety Reports.

====

Netflix is adding to its growing slate of African content with its first original animated series, “Mama K’s Team 4,” produced by South Africa’s award-winning Triggerfish Animation Studios and British kids’ and family entertainment production company CAKE.

The series follows four teenage girls living in a futuristic version of Lusaka, Zambia, who are recruited by a retired secret agent to save the world. It was created by Zambian writer Malenga Mulendema, who in 2015 was one of eight winners of the Triggerfish Story Lab, a pan-African talent search backed by the Cape Town-based animation studio and The Walt Disney Co. The series is designed by the Cameroonian artist Malcolm Wopea.

“In creating a superhero show set in Lusaka, I hope to introduce the world to four strong African girls who save the day in their own fun and crazy way,” Mulendema said. “Most importantly, I want to illustrate that anyone from anywhere can be a superhero.”

African Joke: During a Marriage Ceremony …

On April 1, 2019March 31, 2019 By Dr. Y.In Great Laughter1 Comment

During a marriage ceremony, the pastor asks the famous question: “if anyone can show just cause why this couple cannot lawfully be joined together in matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace!”

All of a sudden, a pregnant woman rises up. She is holding the hand of a 5-year-old child. The flies stop buzzing. The bride faints. The groom is sweating profusely. The pastor is wondering why on earth he had to ask that question…

The pregnant woman starts walking down the aisle with her 5-year-old. All the hearts are pounding. Once in front of the pastor, she says, “It is hard to hear anything at the back… so I had to come to the front!”
