JAYNE WITH A WHY


My life has endured some drastic changes over the past 5yrs. I've moved continents, moved countries, lost my partner in life, lost my dogs, lost the bikes & no doubt about it, lost more than a few marbles along the way. I'm fucked up but valiantly fighting off sanity, which snaps at my heels at regular intervals. I swear a lot. Tell someone who cares.

PERSIL WON'T WASH IN THIS TOWN

There is a town, in the Northern Cape, which until recently, held a mystery for a very good friend of mine. This friend moved to the town earlier this year & as a stranger to the area, my friend took the time to drive around & become acquainted with shops & streets.

It didn't take long for my friend to notice something rather strange, when driving around the suburban streets.

In various houses, my friend noticed a box of washing powder placed strategically in the front windows. It was a rather unusual thing to come across, because after all, the majority of us wimmin tend to keep the laundry detergent either under the sink or in the actual laundry...................so naturally, my friend was curious.

In some windows, there would be a box of Omo & in other windows, a box of Skip.



After several months of absolute curiosity, my friend plucked up the courage to ask a local inhabitant of the town.

"What's with the washing powder in the windows of peoples houses?" my friend enquired.

"Ahhh, well it's like a code" replied the local.

"Code for what?" asked my friend - whose curiosity had grown considerably!

"Well, the easiest way to explain it is there's like a wife-swapping club in this town. If a guy drving by sees Omo in the window, it means 'Old Man's Out' & the coast is clear for a bit of nooky. If he sees Skip in the window, it means the husband is home & he must 'skip' on by!"

Now y'all know!

And by the way, this is 100% true.
