The Georgia Tech bond

One thing that I have always found interesting is that anytime you meet someone that went to Georgia Tech, there is an instant connection. They know your pain, the torture you went through! There is a bond. So, when I found out that Jeff Foxworthy went to Tech, I felt that bond. So in light of that I am going to try and tap into his comedic genius.... I am going to adjust it a little to fit life here though. So here goes, my first attempt at humor..... (Please know that my ego even likes fake chuckles, you know the polite ones so the person does not feel stupid) =)

You know you might be living in Africa if ....
.... you see a 50lb girl carrying a 70lb bunch of bananas on her head while holding a machete while you are breathing hard carrying your 5lb backpack.
.... having running water and power in the same day is a special sign of love from the government.
.... taking a plane to the States to carry the message is quicker than waiting for your computer to load the email, turn off, try again, and then continue the process.
.... having internet that works and that does not take 20 minute for each email only happens on the first Wednesday of every month, on a full moon, or during a solar eclipse.
... you have to choose between a squatty potty that smells so bad that you might lose consciousness and one with 50 flying cockroaches.
... cars driving straight towards one another is not cause for concern
.... there is no such thing as a full car.
.... a raging river going over the road you are about to pass does not mean you should turn around just simply hold on and pray.
...taking your time has a whole new meaning.

So, I am not sure if you are laughing or not, but remember fake chuckles are just fine! Living in Africa is never dull!
