Tom 1960 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Posted September 27, 2009 Late to the game, but still wanted to take a moment and welcome you back, MG. It looks like you've already impacted the activity levels around here. Quote
Aggie87 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 thank goodness - i've had to carry the entire FELA milieu all by myself in your absence! Welcome back, MG. Speaking of Fela, I was in a taxicab in Philadelphia last night, and I saw the cabbie's ID - his name was Femi, like Fela's son. When we got to our destination, I said "Adupe" to him ("thank you" in Yoruban). You should have seen his jaw drop open when I said that. He looked at me and said - "Ok stop, when did you live in Nigeria??" I told him I had never been there, and his amazement deepened further. I reminded him that he was supposed to say "Ashe" or "Oshe" in return, and he started laughing. He said "you said Thank You to me in my language, and I say "You're Very Welcome" in yours". We shook hands, and he drove off with a huge smile. Quote
