A Joke a day keeps the doctor away! (02-01-13)

A new restaurant opened somewhere in Nigeria. In order to attract customers, the management of the restaurant put out a notice: the first 20 customers to come to the restaurant on a particular day will receive free service. One mad man who lives on the street heard that announcement. He decided to dress up for the occasion so as not to be noticed or driven out of the ‘show.’ On the said day, he got up early, prepared and went to the restaurant. He got there by 6am expecting to be the first person there since the restaurant opens by 9am. To his surprise, more than 20 people were already queuing up in front of the restaurant. He then jumped the queue thinking no one will notice. Not so fast!

‘Hey, come back. Come back!’

The mad man kept quiet.

‘Hey you, we are talking to you. Go to the back. You just came!’

Mad man: ‘Me, nooooo! I’ve been here. In short, I slept here overnight.’

Reply: ‘That’s a lie. We all slept here overnight. Nobody saw you.’

Mad man: ‘Wow. I did not know I was dealing with homeless people here. Sorry.’

Another guy approached the mad man and said quietly, ‘Guy, maintain (cool down), are you not the mad man that stays close to that garbage dump? If you love yourself, go to the back of the line.’

Mad man: ‘OK! Cool down, na we we na. We are together. No yanwa (trouble).’
