Choose: Education or Ignorance?

There was this case in Kenyatta National Hospital Intensive Care ward where patients always died in the same bed and on Sunday morning at 11a.m., regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought that it had something to do with the some supernatural powers. No one could solve the mystery.....as to Why the deaths at 11 AM? So a world-wide expert team including a team from Makerere Medical School was constituted and they decide to go down to the ward to investigate the cause of the incidents.

So on the next Sunday morning few minutes before 11 a.m., all doctors and nurses nervously wait outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about.

Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books and their objects to ward off the evil... Just when the clock struck 11:00...

This is what happened: Mukhobero Shivachi Wepukhulu, the part-time Sunday sweeper, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so that he could use the socket for the vacuum cleaner. If you think education is expensive try ignorance. Please take all your kids to school, even if they plan to be part time sweepers!

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. (Winston Churchill)

A "gassy" illustration of our sins

An elderly lady came into her doctor’s office and confessed to an embarrassing problem: “Doctor, I don’t know what the problem is, but I just can’t stop farting all the time. It’s not really a problem socially because they’re soundless and they have no odor. In fact, since I’ve been here, I’ve passed gas no less than twenty times. What can I do?” The doctor nodded, gave her some pills and advised her: “Here’s a prescription, Mrs. Barker. Take these pills three times a day for seven days and come back and see me in a week.”

The elderly lady followed the doctor’s orders faithfully but the problem did not go away, so the furious elderly lady marched into the doctor’s office the following week, and confronted the doctor: “Doctor, I don’t know what was in those pills, but the problem is worse! I’m passing gas just as much, and they’re still soundless, but now they smell terrible! What do you have to say for yourself?” “Calm down, Madam. It’s alright,” said the doctor soothingly. “Now that we’ve fixed your sinuses, we’ll work on your hearing.”

Most of the times our sins seems to be soundless and odorless, but is just an illusion.
