The flatulence, the guests and the surprise!

By -
During lunch at work last week, I ate 3 plates of beans (which I know I shouldn’t). When I got home, my wife seemed excited to see me and exclaimed delightedly: “Darling I have a surprise for dinner tonight.”

She then blindfolded me and led me to my chair at the dinner table. I took a seat and just as she was about to remove my blindfold, the telephone rang.

She made me promise not to touch the blindfold until she returned and went to answer the call.

The beans I had consumed were still affecting me and the pressure was becoming unbearable, so while she was out of the room I seized the opportunity, shifted my weight to one leg and let one go.

It was not only loud, but it smelled like a fertilizer truck running over a skunk in front of a garbage dump!

I took my napkin from my lap and fanned the air around me vigorously. Then, shifting to the other leg, I ripped off three more. The stink was worse than cooked cabbage.

Keeping my ears carefully tuned to the conversation in the other room, I went on releasing atomic bombs like this for another few minutes. The pleasure was indescribable!

Eventually the telephone farewells signaled the end of my freedom, so I quickly fanned the air a few more times with my napkin, placed it on my lap and folded my hands back on it feeling very relieved and pleased with myself.

My face must have been the picture of innocence when my wife returned, apologizing for taking so long.

She asked me if I had peeked through the blindfold, and I assured her I had not. At this point, she removed the blindfold, and twelve dinner guests seated around the table, with their hands to their noses…

If you were the man, what would you do after seeing the guest?

Ghana 1-100 India: The famous 'match' that never was

By -
Image
There is a local football tale almost as old as the Ghanaian game itself. Now, whoever spun this story must have had quite a fertile imagination, for virtually every boy who grew up in Ghana in a certain era (this writer included, and probably yourself as well, if you are not too embarrassed to admit it) gobbled it up with wide-eyed boyish curiosity - every surreal bit of it. It is the tale narrating the fictional football match between Ghana and India. The one that ended 100-1 to the latter yet saw the former run out as 'winners'. Depending on which account one is more familiar with, there are quite a few variations. The core of the story, though, remains fairly consistent. So, then, here goes this intriguing fable as most of us heard as toddlers. Ghana played India at an unknown venue and on a similarly obscure date - I am as oblivious to those details as you most likely are - and, somehow, the latter ended up scoring a hundred goals in 90 minutes; again, please don't...

Chapter 13: Technology Integration in Instruction Chapter Overview The main points in this chapter include the following: Effectiveness of Technology The effectiveness of technology depends on how teachers are able to integrate it into their lesson planning.   Lajoie (1993) summarized four cognitive activities that technologies can provide learners: Supporting students’ cognitive processes (e.g., memory or metacognitive processes) Relieving students’ cognitive load by providing for lower-level cognitive skills, leaving more time and effort needed for teaching higher-level cognitive skills Allowing students to engage in cognitive activities in an authentic environment that would be impossible or too costly to replicate in the classroom Promoting students’ higher-level cognitive skills by allowing them to generate solutions and assess themselves in a context they will encounter in future assignments, advanced grades, and the world of work Instructional Technologies Web ...

The Northern Regional Director of Education, Mohammed Haroon Cambodia has confirmed government will be paying a staggering GHC400,000 as judgment debt to a private citizen in order to stop the auctioning of vehicles belonging to the Ghana Senior High School in Tamale. Government is offering the bailout following a chronic transport difficulty that has hit the school for the last two years after a court order impounded the only bus for students and a brand new official pickup vehicle.
