Have you heard the one...?

Happy New Year! Here is a Fulani joke to start the year.

In Britain, we used to have the Irish. More recently, they have been replaced by blondes and by David Beckham. The Fulani have the Agilanaabe - a particular group of Fulani stereotypically known for their simple-mindedness. Here is a Fulani story told to me recently about an Agilanaajo:

    An Agalanaajo got into a bush taxi. Being a devout and respectable man, he took his shoes off before getting into the vehicle.

    When the bush taxi arrived at its destination, he opened the door to get out, and exclaimed:

    "Hey! Where are my shoes? I left them just outside the door!"
