Lost in Translation...

or just plain fuckin' stupid?

We sent a high-level questionnaire to a Nigerian client recently, trying to establish where they want to build a disaster recovery computer centre, why they want to put it there, and what distance it was from their primary centre. The client came back to us and said that it was to be built 25km from the primary centre....fair enough.

The next question read as follows:

"2. How was this distance arrived at?"

The client's answer...

"CAR odometer"

I was rolling on the floor laughing my fuckin' arse off for 5 minutes after reading that reply. We're dealing with the Nigerian rocket scientists here...

Maybe just had enough gas in the old hilux to get him that far.....and why do you want to pick DR site any other way? Travel 25km and build the fucking thing! Simple!!!

Could his name be Prince by any chance? You know the maids boyfriend? I hear he could really be a real prince and not a nigerian rocket scientist and he has these millions of dollars stuck in the bank but he needs your help....

Anon - if you have any guts at all - you will post with a proper, traceable address / email address. But somehow I don't believe you have. What I can tell you is that any of the people who you have taken the liberty to challenge, could cut your heart out with one hand tied behind their backs. Me on the other hand, I will just put a 9mm into your skull. I don't like the blood that comes with cutting out hearts. However, if you have the balls to post with a contactable addy, I'm willing to come and see you, and take you out, any way you choose. You, my friend (not) have the mentality of a kaffir - you believe you have the right to post your opinion on other people, you are always right, but will never be man enough to expose your self. Why? Probably because you are a self abusing masturbator,(who spikes his own drinks with date rape drugs), who had sexual relations with both his own mother and father form the tender age of 4, and will forever deny that the 7 childern borne by your sister are your offspring. But hey, it's ok, we don't mind, we believe there is a place for everyone in this world, unlike you!
Have a great day - and may you perish in a flaming car, trapped underneath a petrol tanker....
Salagatle! LOSER!
