Humor in Rwanda

Tonight while hanging out with our Local Rwandese friends, Patrick changed our lives forever. Patrick told Synnøve that she reminded him of someone. A few minutes later he said, “Oh I remember, but it’s a boy.” Of course we started laughing really hard, then he continued on to say, “He plays football for Arsenal.” Synnøve was quite offended at this point, and seeing this Patrick tried to redeem himself, “Oh… but it’s not your muscles! It’s your face!” Talk about adding insult to injury. Here is a picture of beautiful

Synnøve to show that she looks nothing like a male football player. One of the other guys we hung out with told us he thought we all looked a little fat until he tried on Clara’s jacket and it was so tight on him. Thanks guys, you really know how to flatter the ladies.
Tim, and especially Lynn (from England) have the funniest expressions. One day Lynn said something that describes someone who isn’t quite all there as, A few scotch eggs short of a good picnic. Synnøve tried to say it back and ended up saying, Not enough scotch to have fun with eggs at a picnic. Haha
Synnøve’s computer, which she borrowed from her mother, has a piece of tape on the top. One time Lynn asked why there was a piece of “plaster” on it, and Synnøve replied by saying that her mom thought people could watch her through the camera.
