I'm feeling decidely festive today, cos it's my Burpday (yes, yes, thanks - presents can be left at the door) ... so I thought I'd post this silly thing for all of us in Sisters land who can understand the Ou Taal.
One day Meraai wanted to bake a cake, but she ran out of eggs. So she went to her usual grocery store in the dorp where she lived.
As she walked in, the owner, Gatiep, was there and she asked him for a dozen eggs.
She went back home and baked the cake.
To her surprise the eggs were rotten, so she went back to the store and this time Gatiep wasn't there, but his wife, Sera was there.
Meraai approached the lady and said
"Weet jy, jou man het vrot eiers?"
Sera, obviously shocked and upset said "Hoe weet jy my man het vrot eiers!?"
Meraai replied, "Kom ruik my koek!"

Everything's funny in Afrikaans. Apart from "You people cannot sit on these benches" and the like, obviously.

'n Man loop in by 'n kroeg. Hy loop sonder iets te seg teen die een muur op,
teen die dak en weer af met die ander muur. Die mense kyk hom
verbaas aan en vra vir die kroegman, en dit?????????
Die kroegman antwoord: Moenie julle daaraan steur nie, hy groet my ook nooit.
