Run for cover

Just so you know.

In the middle of a rainforest, in a National Park, in a country with two official gradations below “Outhouse,” is just about the worst possible time to get the shits.

    Well, at least in the rain forest you can wipe with foliage that is somewhat moist.

    True, lots of foliage–just make sure they aren’t protected species, or rash-causing.

    Funny post, though Dave.

    Eight great stories about Africa, zero comments. One shit story, eight comments. Only on a Dave Ford Blog site can you get those numbers.

    I’m finally caught up with you Dave. I realized when I was leaving comments for posts that were two months old that you were probably not getting them.

    You’re not going to believe this but I’ve somehow managed to be lazy in reading your blog. It’s awesome, but I tend to be about a month behind you (I think it’s somehow due to the time zone differences).

    You may not be drunk Zubair, but calling him puppy, without anyone knowing that’s his nickname, makes you sound like a gaylord.

    And besides, I didn’t say I had the shits, just that it would not be a good place to be afflicted.

    But, in typical fashion, I was on the edge.
