« Kampusquote »
Many college newspapers have their “overheard” sections, in which they give a selection of amusing or stupid things said around town. Our paper, Die Matie, has “Kampusquote”, the latest installment of which featured this nugget:
“Our washing machine is so old, I’m certain it comes from the apartheid years.”
“Just make sure you don’t mix your white and black clothes!”
Alright, it sounds better in Afrikaans. Another favourite of mine was:
“But that’s like musical chairs!”
