Birthdays

THE EAR - The Freeman
April 12, 2014 | 12:00am

GOOD FRIDAY. A businessman (comprador of poultry products) always has a reason for not celebrating his birthday in a big way. It falls on Good Friday when the Christian world in in deep meditation and fasting is the rule of the day.

EASTER. But his wife's birthday falls on Easter Sunday when the rule of the day is rejoicing/celebration. The businessman said: "Wa gyud tay eskapuhan niini."  The truth of the matter is: This businessman has been celebrating a missus' birthday in a big way every Easter.
