One day at the festival in Ghana, the Fante Christmas, there
was a tender coconut stand. Here’s how you do it:
You give him 50 peswas (25 cents).
He cuts open the top of a coconut for you with a machete.
You drink the coco water and give it back to him.
He cuts it all the way open.
You eat the meat inside.
Anywho, there was a taxi driver that came along and got one
coconut, gulped the water down, gave it back to him to be opened, then
taxi-coco devoured the meat inside. Anywho, anywho, let’s get to the real deal:
I’m not going to say it all over again, but the taxi-coco over here got three
more coconuts and did the same! Bang, bang, bang and he was back in the taxi.
No way! He ate 4 coconuts in one sitting? In Mexico we would way he was coco loco....
ReplyDeleteWow! How many coconuts do you think your dad could eat at once? As much as the taxi-coco?
ReplyDeleteYum! I think I would be a little scared of the machete though!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You should go into business with your new birthday machete.
ReplyDeleteDo they call it a machete in Ghana too?
ReplyDeleteDriving a taxi is thirsty work.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so funny! It's funny how the taxi driver just takes four coconuts and takes off. And he gulps it down like it's normal!!! Plus I love the name "the taxi-coco guy". Giggle, giggle, giggle :)
ReplyDeleteThis is Zayn if you were wondering. :)
That guy was definitely coo coo for coconuts! I wonder if Tucker would drink coconut water? The Giants beat the Dodgers today... made us think of you! Miss you Rock, Happy belated Bday!
ReplyDeleteSo maybe he needed the fiber? :) Great story Rock!
