GO TO HELL (Joke)

I met Rex and Ray on my way from school to Accra from Cape Coast. In the bus, people, mainly university students were making fun probably because of the joy of a successful end of yet another semester.

Rex and Ray are popular and are known for their jovial connections with the rest of the students.  The two started some conversation that later turned to a fun-ful comedy.

Rex: So people, Ray is like he is gonna show me a lesson when we get to Kaneshie. Now, I want an eyewitness so that I can ask him a question.

Ray: Hahaha, let me be the witness....because I will probably be the only person there when we the lesson begins. Your question?

Rex: Ahh, how can that be? Is it done in your village? Do suspects double as witnesses in your area?

(The other passengers on-board started making small laughs)

Ray: Hmmm, I don't know what to say, but do you think things are done here the same way as in your village? Need I remind you that we 4 figures in miles away from your place and hence your ways? It's not done in my village, it's done in my co-nab not my village. What is your question?

Rex: Well, I guess you are right. I understand now. But I must confess, I never knew you were such a..........Such a......... a what I can't even describe. Look people, Ray is not from Ghana, I hope you guys no he is not too close. He is from Sogbaglikope, about 7500miles deep into the Volta woods. My question is.....do you mean to show me the lecture note from your 'private-part-shaving' class? Or you mean you will kill me?

(The laughter is increasing this time.....with more cheers....'Rexo, Rexo, Rexo.......)

Ray: You keep winning. We are closest to Kaneshie already and your lesson is even closer. So just wait and take your notes. And for your answer, I learnt you failed your pps course so, yes, I can borrow you my lecture note. I may also kill you as well.....but I won't fail to send you to hell on empty stomach.

The laughing is now directed onto the head of Rex...who started feeling heavier. He threw his punch in words back again to retain his winning position)

Rex: Thanks for the notes Ray. But I have referred that course for the academic program. Hahaha, so you said you are gonna kill me and not forget to send me to hell? How can you be mind-blind? So you still want me to be ahead of you, even in hell? Do you know what it means? It means I am going to be your master so that by the time you'd arrive, I'd attain senior-ship or even supervisor-ship and really drill you to nothing.....

(As if magic, the laughing was redirected and Rexo....Rexo......Rexo....was all I could here in the car.)



HOPE IT MAKES YOU SMILE AT LEAST.

The Local Chronicle is founded on the spirit of information-sharing and is determined to bring to the reach of cherished audiences authentic and credible news and information about prime subjects including though not limited to education, politics, trade, technology, entertainment and culture among other topical issues such as human right and missionary activities.

The blog targets issues across several subjects and therefore is authored by freelancers who chose to share information they deem worth sharing. I read somewhere that there are two types of information, one for the masses and the other for the classes. But we are going to bridge this gap and present facts not what people want to hear.

We pray that the Most High God will grants us even more wisdom and understanding, the tenacity and the spirit of honesty to do what is expected of us without fear. Amen.
