Long-time ruler laughs at relay team


Usain Bolt passing the baton to a team-mate. What a loser!!

A Great Long-time Ruler has expressed shock after he saw members of an Olympic relay team passing the baton.

“Bambo vangu Matibiri iweeehh! What are they doing?” he said, almost spilling his rooibos, which he drinks every day after his usual 73 km evening jog. “Who does that?”
“Eh, Your Magnificent Excellency, Sir,” one of the Great Ruler's people said, his voice trembling. “That is the rule of the race Oh My Great Crocodile. You run your part as best as you can, then you pass on the baton to the next person. Smoothly. That way, the whole team wins.”

A long silence then followed – The Great Ruler looked at his aide, then back at the TV, looked at his aide again, then back at the TV, tea cup in hand, shock on his face. Softly, he then asked: “But why?” Again, the poor guy, staring at the floor, said: “Eh, Sire, that’s the rule of the sport.” But, The Great Ruler  asks, "Why can’t he just run the whole race on his own?"

“Well, he can try, Your Emminence. But he'd look rather silly.”

The Great Leader then said: “Ah, so, in that case, that’s a silly sport ka? A silly sport indeed.” He then laughed himself to sleep: "Heheedeh, huuuri ... pass the baton ... kikikiki ... losers!"
