Why?

1. Why is it that urination is infectious? When you see me peeing, you suddenly also feel like doing it!

2. Why is a yawn always infectious?

3. Why do we duck when an insect hits the car windscreen, yet we know very well that it cannot get through?

4. Why don’t men mind when a beautiful lady coughs near them, yet take great offence when a fellow man does the same? (The germs are the same, silly!).

5. Why do men work out even harder in the gym when there are females around?


6. Why do Kenyans (unconsciously) tweng’ when talking to wazungus?

7. And why do workers in Indian shops on Biashara Street and Kirinyaga Road, imitate their bosses’ accents while talking to them?

8. How come tourists are just not able to dance to the beats of African music? (They are always dancing to the next song!).

9. Why do articles in the “gutter press” (alternative media) remind one of English compositions written by very average class 5 pupils?

10. Why are many Kenyans so scared of “tuning” celebs, yet some of them are really lonely?

11. Why is it that non-PSV traffic idiots (over-lappers) are mainly found in Eastlands?

12. Why is it that, before 6 am, the majority of private vehicles on Muthaiga and Gigiri roads in Nairobi, are sleek top-of-the-range 4x4s?

13. Why do men who are “doing their thing” at the urinal, suddenly realise that there is something very interesting in the ceiling?
