Jaapie Boy Makes Good

[farangsay]

Jan van der Merwe was the first Afrikaaner boy (or girl for that matter) to gain a full

scholarship to Witwatersrand university. Tuition , board , lodging , the full nine yards.

His family , neighbours , the whole region were proud of him.

There were many celebrations before he left.

The night before he left his cousin gave him some well informed advice.

"You have to get into a fraternity"

"I've seen it in the movies"

"Unless you do that the Anglos will never accept you"

"You"ll just be a token 'kaaner""

Jan hit off for Uni.

Everything was going well.

He was a bright boy so he did OK in his classes.

He made a few Anglo friends.

He remembered his cousin's words so he started asking about fraternities.

His friends told him "we don't have that here , it's an American thing".

He persisted , to the point his friends were getting fed up with it.

Then one day , with an evil grin , one lad says "I have an idea".

They came to him and said "yes , it was possible but there are tests to be passed."

"Rendezvous students' bar 21.00 , don't be late."

Jan pitches up on the hour.

Two bottles of cane are open on the table.

"Firstly" his pal says "you have to drink those two straight down , by the neck"

"OK" says Jan.

"Secondly you have to go into town and make love to (name of a famous/infamous lady

deleted) all night"

"Lastly , in the morning , you have to go out into the bush and kill a lion with your bare hands"

OK says Jan

Bottle of cane - glug glug glug - bottle of cane - glug glug glug.

Jan heads off into the night.

Following morn he doesn't show for class.

Hangover his friends think.

Mid-morning break no Jan.

Serious hangover his friends think.

Lunchtime they are concerned.

Then one of them sees a figure limping down the road.

End of class they all run to meet Jan.

He is not in great shape.

His clothes are in shreds , he's covered in blood and he seems to be missing his

left ear.

"Are you OK ?" his pals say

"Ja , ja , ja "says Jan

"Do you want a doctor ?" they say

"Na , na , na" says Jan

"Is there anything we can do?" they say

"Ja" says Jan "tell me where's this woman I have to kill"
