A Swahili sense of humor
We were all sitting an listening to the speech when the lecturer used the famous quote;
"behind every successful man there's a woman"
and he also added;
"behind every unsuccessful man there's TWO!"
I turned to the Ladies I was sitting with and I asked them;
"What is behind every successful woman, then?"
We all thought for a while and then one of them said with a smile;
"Behind every successful woman is her matako!*"
We all laughed until we almost cried.
*For those of you who don't know, 'matako' means 'Ladies bum', uften used when describing ladies.
There's a saying in kiswahili that says;
"Your behind sometimes get your front hammered!"
Hence, the matako is very important!
