Men!

"Hey, Tina!  Rosemary, is that your friend?"

Tina is the turkey.  She keeps following Rosemary, the housemother around.

 Beatrace responded to the comment above with, "Tina needs a man."

 I said, "A tom."

Beatrace said, "A Tom or a John.  Any man turkey will do."

Tina the Turkey and Rosemary

This made me think of another conversation.

Today, I was standing on a street corner in Mbale, waiting for Anya and Galya.

A woman walked up to me and this is what I heard (remember, thick British English accents mixed with local language)

"Excuse me madam, do you need a man?"

I ask, "What?"

"Do you need a man?"  ( I am thinking, "Well, I would like to marry one day, but I don't think that is what you are offering right now."  Then, "Maybe I should not be standing on this street corner. . . "

Again, I ask, "What?"  (Then I hear it correctly. . . wait for it )

"Do you need a maid?"

Oh, the relief!  Ok, no problem with this street corner. . . I just look very white and she needs a job!

She proceeded to tell me that she can cook Indian food, clean, etc.

I told her I lived an hour and a half away.  She told me she would move.

I told her I did my own cooking and cleaning.  She asked me if I didn't have any friends.

 I told her they did their own cooking and cleaning.  She finally gave up and left.

Something about men today. . .
