How patriotic are you
I often hear people say that they will lay their lives for their countries .. yeah right , you only hear that once and that’s when they are running for a political post..
would you guys lay down your lives? honest answers...

Examiner :So would you die for your country?
Me: ‘Me?’

E:‘Yes, you’!
M: ‘what country are we talking about here o ’?
E: ‘Your great country’

M: Wich one o, examiner?

E: ‘Your motherland’

M: ‘My mother has lands, which one?’
E:‘goodness, you know what I mean ’

M: ‘why should I die for my country, no why. To prove what nau?’

E: other’s gave their lives for this great country.
M: and so?

E: don’t u want to be in their shoes?
M: nope, we don’t wear the same size.

E: oh,
M: yup

E: erm, you are not being patriotic.
M: patro-gini?, patriotic na for book and classroom,.so dying for my country is an act of patriotism.?

E: I reckon ..
