Ricky Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE IN SOUTH AFRICA IS IN A PUB...YOU KNOW YOU'RE SOUTH AFRICAN WHEN.... You call a bathing suit a "swimming costume".You call a traffic light a "robot". You call an elevator a "lift"You call a hood a "bonnet"You call a trunk a "boot"You call a pickup truck a "bakkie" You call a Barbeque a "Braai" The employees dance in front of the building to show how unhappy they are.The SABC advertises and shows highlights of the programme you just finishedwatching. You get cold easily. Anything below 16 degrees Celsius is Arctic weather.You know what Rooibos Tea is, even if you've never had any. You can sing your national anthem in four languages, and you have no ideawhat it means in any of them. You know someone who knows someone who has met Nelson Mandela.You go to braais regularly, where you eat boerewors and swim, sometimessimultaneously. You produce a R100 note instead of your driver's licence when stopped by atraffic officer. You can do your monthly shopping on the pavement.You have to hire a security guard whenever you park your car.When you are a victim of crime and say: "At least I'm still alive". You know a taxi can move twice it's certified number of people in one trip. You travel 100's of kilometres to see snow. You know the rules of Rugby better than any referee To get free electricity you have to pay a connection fee of R750.More people vote in a local reality TV show than in a local election. People have the most wonderful names: Christmas, Goodwill, Pretty,Wednesday, Blessing, Brilliant, Gift, Precious, Innocence and Given,Patience, Portion, Coronation."Now now" or "just now" can mean anything from a minute to a month. You continue to wait after a traffic light has turned to green to make wayfor taxis travelling in the opposite direction. Travelling at 120 km/h you're the slowest vehicle on the highway/freeway.You're genuinely and pleasantly surprised whenever you find your car parkedwhere you left it.A bullet train is being introduced, but we can't fix potholes. The last time you visited the coast you paid more in speeding fines and tollfees than you did for the entire holiday. You paint your car's registration on the roof.You have to take your own linen with you if you are admitted to a governmenthospital.You have to prove that you don't need a loan to get one.Prisoners go on strike.You don't stop at a red traffic light, in case somebody hijacks your car.You consider it a good month if you only get mugged once. Ruwandan refugees start leaving the country because the crime rate is toohigh. You consider a high crime rate as normal. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from SA.VIVA !!!!! Edited February 15, 2008 by Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
