Judging a Man By His Car in The City of Accra

Those commission-quaffing attendants would not compete for the tank of the crickety Corolla. The driver did not look like he could buy half the fuel to power a tiny rodent. But I know him. He also owns one of those shiny Chrysler almost-jet para-cars. The next time he taxies that in here, they will break one another's noses to air-traffic-control him to their pump just to sell him a gallon.

  1. LOL... Deep observation. hahahaha. A taxi driver told me, just two days ago, that they buy more fuel than owners of private cars...

    How many times aren't we judged by what we see. I guess I won't be judged by them, at least, since I 'galli' and 'trotro'...

  2. Nana Fredua-Agyeman, yes, there's a lot of pre-judgment. On another note, I disagree with your taxi driver. Disregarding the fact that they are always driving and therefore burn the liquid faster, whenever I move up after a taxi driver, he's bought like GHC5...

  3. KFC, I agree. They will go home with less commission money and buy less beer and not be able to chase that big-bottomed woman they must pay to talk to for 10 minutes...
