Tannemys (Ilse Salzwedel)

I always wonder who thinks up these jokes about South-African situations. And who decides to SMS it. And how soon it travels around the country, and even the globe. And how much the cellphone companies make out of jokes being forwarded all over the place. I bet Vodacom and MTN has a VERY clever team of “joke originators” that brainstorm through dark nights just to have a new joke going out every day… Like this one received yesterday:

Which of the following names DOESN’T look familiar to you?

1) Robert Mugabe

2) Julius Malema

3) Advocate Barbie

4) Joseph Ratzinger

5) Scabir Shaik

6) Tiger Woods

Hhmmm? You probably battled a bit with no. 4. See, again you know all the blacks, skelms and sex maniacs, but you don’t even know the Pope!!
