Driving Mad-Maxly in the City of Accra *

A mindless, maniacal trotro (minibus) driver was marauding up the under-construction Spintex Road last night. He manoeuvred morbidly around my mild-mannered Maxine (my car) and left me in the wake of his soot. Not many moments later, the minibus was clobbered by a boulder and meanly mangled. I made mighty sure to honk to catch the attention of the pterodactyl that was driving it. When he it looked at me, I gave him it the Idiot’s Salute and whizzed Maxine past.

*I'll explain yesterday's post soon.

  8. A little off topic - but why do people feel the need to name inanimate objects???

  10. @yeh: to give the object a sense/touch of personality (or is it to make owner feel the object has personality?). That is just by the way. :)

    Oh, welcome back Nana Yaw; did you ever leave? :) I am glad you are back (maybe?)You are back? right?
