An Afrikaner, an Englishman (the SA-bred type), and a Zulu are waiting nervously outside the maternity ward in a Joburg hospital. A nurse arrives with a smile, and tells them: "Good news for all of you, gentlemen, you are all dads... and they're all boy!" As they start smiling, she adds: "But we had a slight mixup when they brought the babies to the nursery room... Do you mind coming in and see if you can identify your son?" The Afrikaner rushes inside, and comes out ten seconds later with a baby in his arms, yelling: "This one is mine!" The nurse looks, puzzled, and tells him: "But... Sir... This baby is black...!" "Sister, one of the other two is a soutpiel, I can't take the risk!!!" | ||

A salt prick if I remember right. One foot in England, one in Africa and his dick hanging in the sea between. A huge joke if you are an Afrikaaner. | |||

Yep, fully correct, Sir! To put it mildly, there is a latent animosity between the descendants of the Boers and those of the British invaders. Most of the former would agree with the new dad's take... | |||

One of my Boer Ph's told me years ago that he was taught that Boer girls didn't make love well and that English girls couldn't cook, so what was one to do about marriage? The answer, marry an English girl, you could always teach them how to cook. (Note: language cleaned up significantly, one of his favorite English words began with "F") xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

Is there a reason for the animosity ? Grizz Indeed, no human being has yet lived under conditions which, considering the prevailing climates of the past, can be regarded as normal.

You have no idea. Read some turn of the last century history regarding the Boer Wars. That's where the British got the term "All's fair in love and war". ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

You also might want to read James Michener's "The Covenant." I haven't read it since it came out in the early 1980s, but I seem to remember it talked about the many Afrikaner women and children dying of starvation and disease in British concentration camps. Bill Quimby | |||

I was joking. That's where the concentration camp was invented.
