Here is a famous Sudanese joke for you. The last time I heard it was tonight at the local coffee shop on the corner. And yes, this is one of those jokes nobody seems to go tired of except you. Enjoy...
There was a Sudanese boy who had a rather well situated family. His family and especially his carrier focused father wanted his son to have a solid education. So english language was a must to master. But unfortunately the son was quite bad in this particular class and consantly fell behind the rest of the class.
His father was deeply worried and thought some drastic meassures had to be done to get english into to this boys head. In the area there was foreigner who spoke excellent english so he would have to help his son.
The father entered negotiations with the foreigner. And the result was an agreement where the two, his son and the foreigner, were to be locked into the boys house for three months. Provided that the foreigner got well paid salary and all the supplies needed to live there with out leaving. The agreement was agreed and so it happened. A part of the deal was also that noone would disturb the two in these three months. Just leave the supplies at the door and go away.
So after three months the father was anxious to speak to his son in english. So when the two came out of the house the whole family waited in anticipation.
The foreigner came out and spoke fluent arabic and the boy still did not know a word of english.
Hehe. Those hardheaded Sudanese. Cheers...
