There's this Tribe from a certain part of the country that decided a very long time ago that the letter 'H' was a useless letter & they vowed to drop it in their speech. So they all opened their windows & flung the letter 'H' out. It was'nt the only letter that they had problems with but it was the most irritating. There was letter 'V' which they pronounced as 'F' & 'CH' became 'SH'.
Pa Yekini, a very honest hard working man had problems with his son a 1st year student at University. The boy was not regular in class & whenever his father chided him, he did not mince words by letting him know that he had serious interest in music. Pa Yekini " Then why dnt you sing in the shursh, Pastor Shuks can guide you?" His son responded that Pastor Chuks is his manager & described the kind of music he was going into. Pa yekini called on Pastor Chuks who welcomed him & asked after his health. Pa yekini " am fery well tank you but more important is my son Yekini, he seems to be wasting his life; he says he's going into music & that you are the manager. As a matter of fact he said the type of music is called IP-OP".
This reminds me of my Art teacher whose assignment went thus: "I want a drawing with the caption 'At ome in my ouse'.
