Excellent ! And, as a Jew, no affront taken.

I never knew about the essential relationship between the Zulus and braai chops, Italians and their Catholicism or even DA and outrage – I always approach people and movements with an eye to possible internal fracture and diversity. Too liberal perhaps. More importantly, I do not think it is a matter of mere sensitivity (a point that then is simply taken) to wonder at the resilient association of Jews with money. Europe almost burnt itself down on the association, an association that lay just underneath the skin throughout most of Europe’s modern history. Well, it survived the ashes. Was it A.B. Xuma who once responded to a familiar question of his time by saying that yes, some kafirs are lazy – but only some of them?

I suppose it would be too much to hope I’d found a friend…being a smoker. I think we all go to hell in our own handcarts and I bitterly resent being so over-regulated.
The only good points: I now, with clear conscience, refuse point blank to give a cigarette to anyone who asks for one. It may, one day soon, be construed as murder…
…I also live at peace knowing that no friend of mine can any longer expect me to give her children under 12 a lift anywhere. It’s against the law so…let them walk!

Dude – Paul has hit it on the head. The answer is – have children. They can do all sorts of things like run to the liquor store for you. My six year old drives me to the pub then sleeps in the car till closing time. Perfect!
Just kidding – love the article. We are here for a good time, not a long time!

It’s the last Friday of the month, so I decree happy hour starts at noon today. Here’s a poser; my son is 17 years old, has a learners license for both bike and car (cannot get license till 18), is a very competent driver (I taught him), and if I imbibe too much do I let him drive. Remember he has to drive on his own in a car to fetch me and my band of merry souls.

@Dave- It’s ok. I think all South Africans have been oversensitive this year.

Point taken still.
