Suntou.. you know in America knowing jokes and having a sense of humor can actually get you to be President (Bush)... It is part of the culture to issue humorous jokes - they call it roasting and even the President has his turn... So it is important to pass it on... but again, I can bet on it... you can't get Yero to take that task up...Nop.. May be you can offer him a column on Kibaaro and that will make him feel better so he won't feel guilty personalizing it... Now Yero's "Yete hono" story is so well written it must be a personal experience... that was very close to home -- Jallow Jerry...
