One man found a man and a woman exchanging words in a private enclosure, he walked up to them and asked what is causing the argument between them. The man replied that he wants harmony but that the lady is very difficult and has no compassion. Our man then looked at his fellow man and said to him, " my friend! if you want her money and she would not give it to you , go and find your own; ah!"With these words he walked away living them to their argument.I too ran away from the scene .

T1020, did you sleep well  ?
Harmony/her money - read this thing out loud, that helps to understand the joke  |

.Anna you guys are way too smart; I didn't get it either. Kaanibaa you have to make it really "simple" (and not just because "simple is good") for Toubab and I to understand  |

| Message copied as they say in police radio parlance , I shall try to make it simple as in simple is good. It is not easy to crack jokes in a foreign language as the sense/meaning of what one is trying to say gets lost on the reader especially if the language used is their (the readers) native one. I had no intention to baffle any one and Anna picked up the joke quite quickly thanks for the input and many happy moments to all on this forum. |

As I said in my reply to her posting, she is a woman and not a mere bloke like most of the posters. |

| Well I am an aspiring poet. I have to use my words sparingly. I guess they call it "conservation of words", Madiba . |

Bro kani...
I too will take a similar take of the "her money" case, because " har Monih" in pular , Monih means porridge; and har (stop drinking), so if monih is taken, what a hunger bashing on empty intestines...with graoning stomach. For the porridge drinkers.
thanks
