Another Midnight Newspaper Session!
I've been recently taking breaks in between my reading/study sessions to read the daily nation..I wasn't an avid reader of the paper but now that I've started I cant stop as everyday this week I've been thoroughly entertained... jus read this article and I thought it was hilarious.... The end bit I've posted had me cracking up ..Though the reality is that poverty makes us do crazy things and although the story is funny its quite sad....We are all privileged to be able to afford to sit in front of these computer screens ...

The sex Bill made simple
Story by PETER KIMANI /Monday Mix
Publication Date: 05/01/2006
Prisoner of his own imagination
Some bloke in Nyeri was so broke that he decided to fake his own abduction and claim the ransom. How imaginative can some people get!
The man is said be a freelance photographer. But things do get a bit hard (like when tea bonuses are not paid for years, and the 36-exposure film lasts 24 months due to scarce orders).
So the man decided to test his parents' love for him, and whether they would part with all their earthly possessions to redeem him.
The plot was easy: a bus ride to Kakamega, a few hours' practice speaking like most people there do – which means replacing letter 'd' with 't' and 'b' with 'p', then placing a call home with words like: "Ile mchamaa ya kwenyu iko mparoni. Yeye takula ukali mpila mpoka..."
Which means the man in question is in serious trouble and the relatives had better come to his rescue before things got elephant.
After a series of urgent meetings, the family manages to raise enough cash. They deposit it at a local bank, as instructed. (It is evident the man did not wish to pay more fare to a distant location).
And bingo! The man takes the next bus home, smiling all the way to the bank. The policemen waiting for him smile, too. This is one story with a happy ending, and a clean solution.
The man is cooling off in jail, as he possibly contemplates his next escapade.
jus had to share wit the non nation readers!
