Three contractors . . . one Luo another Luhya land the third Kikuyu are bidding to repair the Ikulu fence.


They go with a one of Ikulu official to examine the fence.

The Luhya contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well," he says. "I figure the job will run KES 100,000,000 . . . 40,000,000 for materials, 40,000,000 for labour and 20,000,000 profit for me."


The Luo contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do this job for  KES 80,000,000 . . . 40,000,000 for materials, 30,000,000 for my crew and 10,000,000 profit for me."


Kikuyu contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the Ikulu official and whispers:


KES 300,000,000."


The official, incredulously says, "You didn't even measure like the other guys! How did you come up with such a high figure?"


"Easy," Kikuyu contractor explains, "KES 100,000,000 for you, KES 100,000,000 for me and we hire Luo or Luhya to do the job."

The first student raises his hand and says, “The sky is definitely blue.” The teacher says, “Well, that isn’t entirely correct, because sometimes it’s gray and cloudy.” Another student says, “Grass is definitely green.” The teacher again replies, “If grass doesn’t get enough water, it turns brown, so that isn’t really correct either.” Another student raises his hand and asks the teacher, “Do farts have lumps?” The teacher looks at him and says, “No, but that isn’t really question you want to ask in class discussion.” So the student replies, “Then I’ve definitely shit in my pants.”

DESIDERATA πŸ’―

  GO PLACIDLY amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
