Nelson Mandela

[Significantother]

I hope nobody gets offended but the sad death of Nelson Mandela reminded me of this old joke:


Nelson Mandela is at home watching TV when there is a knock at the door. A Japanese delivery man is clutching a clipboard, pointing to a truck full of car exhausts in the driveway and saying, "You sign, you sign!"

The bewildered ex-president will do no such thing and slams the door.

The next day, the man is back, waving a clipboard under the great man's nose, gesturing to a truckload of brake pads and insisting, "You sign, you sign!"

Nelson gets rid of the man again, but next day he's back with two truckloads of car parts, once again holding out a clipboard and screaming "You sign! You sign!"

Mandela loses his temper and yells, "Look, I don't want these. Do you understand? You have the wrong person!"

Puzzled, the Japanese man consults his clipboard and asks, "Ah soh. You not Nissan Main dealer?"

Well I like it but I bet someone doesn't. Not disrespectful IMO.

I never knew the late Mr Mandela of course, but I've known enough old people who had a pragmatic attitude to their own demise to guess that he would have found it funny.
We've all said that my Mother would have laughed herself silly at some of the things that happened after her death, when selecting clothes for her burial, I suggested her favourite suit, and my brother commented that "It'll bury her"!
