Soaring Food Prices

[CharlesM]

I just received this SMS joke, it's in Afrikaans, but helluva funny!

"Die kos pryse het so die hoogtes ingeskiet. Ons moes maar vanaand net aan tafel sit terwyl ek vir ons voorlees uit die Kook en Geniet."

Ok, here goes...

"Food prices are so high. Tonight at the dinner table all I could do is read from a recipe book."

The "Kook en Geniet" (Cook and Enjoy) is a very traditional Afrikaans recipe book. Almost every Afrikaans family owns one.

Another SMS joke:

Lekker slaap ommie wereld:
Holland: goeden nagt
Australia: nite mate
USA: gud nite
Duitsland: slafin sie wol
SA: issi deure gesluit, venster toegemaak, kar in getrek en alram geaktiveer? issi rotweilers veilig? Is jouwapen by jou bed? Leke slaap, moenie worry nie, Eskom sal die ligte afsit.

My 'Kook en Geniet' has been in the family for 3 generations.

Even tells you how to boil an egg.
