I took a trip to South Africa and met a Khoisan woman.
We really clicked.
Acetic Princess
Van is getting married, but he and his fiancee maintain never done the deed – in fact he\’s never been with any woman before. He\’s getting more and more nervous as the gigantic day approaches, so he confides in his pal. His pal says \’No worries man. I\’ll advance by the honeymoon suite before you guys procure there, and I\’ll shroud behind the curtain, and I\’ll whisper instructions to you.\’
\’You\’d execute that for me?\’
\’Sure thing man!\’
So the wedding day arrives, it was a lovely service (so I was told, I wasn\’t there myself) and Van\’s pal sneaks into the honeymoon suite as promised and hides behind the curtain.
Van and his modern wife arrive in the room, secure settled on the bed, and things are getting steamy.
But Van is still super nervous and his tummy is bubbling, so he murmers to his wife, \’Listen babe, I\’m just gonna disappear to the bathroom quick. I consider it\’s that wors roll from earlier.\’
\’Sure thing babe.\’
So Van goes into the bathroom, and he\’s taking quite a long time. And his wife is starting to feel the nerves herself. And it\’s getting worse. She can\’t hold it in. But she doesn\’t want to recede after he\’s gone and totally ruin the mood. So she looks around and finally finds a shoebox. Quickly, she does her business in the shoebox, and she shoves it under the bed just as Van comes back from the loo.
Van gets back on the bed and they disappear at it again. But after a minute or so Van smells something not so lekker.
\’What\’s that odor?\’
\’Nothing babe,\’ he wife tries to assure him.
\’No man there\’s definitely something not so lekker in this room!\’VSo Van starts looking around the room, in the corners, in the cupboard, and finally he looks under the bed, and sees the shoebox.
He pull it out, and opens it up, and in horror he shouts \’Sies! Daar\’s kak in hierdie doos!\’
And from behind the curtain his pal yells, \’NEE MAN, DRAAI HAAR OM!\”
