H.E. Mr. John Agyekum Kufuor
President of the Republic of Ghana
However much we differ on issues, there are moments which should bring
us together. One such moment is the Golden Jubilee of our nations inde-
pendence.
We should rejoice in the fact that in spite of many periods of uncertainty and
difficulties in the last 50 years, we have managed to pull together as a nation
to this day.
We have come to a stage, which the world is acknowledging as promising
for success. We have given ourselves a functional democratic Constitution,
which is standing the test of time. The rule of law has become the order ofthe day and it underpins the good governance, which is giving meaning to
our national motto of Freedom and Justice.
Let us resolve to draw a firm line between our chequered and unhappy past
and a future full of hope, achievement and fellow feeling. With such a re-
solve, we cannot fail.
Long Live Ghana!

The Independence of Ghana is meaningless unless it is
linked up to the total liberation of Africa. - Dr. Kwame
Nkrumah (March 6th, 1957)
This month we celebrate our countrys Golden Jubilee,
marking 50 years of independence.
We should remember that the Jubilee year is a time of
joy, forgiveness of debts and universal pardon. It is of
course a time to celebrate, but the Jubilee should alsoprompt us to reflect on where weve come from and
where were heading, to ponder the past and plan for
the future.
Here at Enjoy Accra, we have decided to use this March
issue to write about Ghanas political leaders, a non-
exhaustive list tapping into the past and the present.
Inside, readers will also find tourist highlights around
the country, a tour of Ghanaian music, from highlife to
hiplife, and a snapshot of the countrys economic
strengths and weaknesses.
We round the edition up with a story about a free
education centre for aspiring young artists in Accra; if
anything represents Ghanas bright future, it is its
children.
Happy 50th Anniversary to Ghana.
Enjoy!
When we conceivedthe idea of extending
our operations to
Africa, it was not
difficult to make a
choice as to which
country to go to. The
traditional hospitality
of Ghana, as an
irresistible place to do
business, was
confirmed the very day
we arrived in 2000.
We found, and still find, the business climate here in
Ghana very conducive and friendly so we decided to stay
on, and with the benefit of hindsight, we are glad we did!!
As the Government and people of Ghana celebrate 50
years of nationhood, we at GRAFITEC LTD cannot help but
feel the spirit of joy, goodwill and friendliness. We have a
huge sense of pride for coming to Ghana and we feel even
more proud to be part of the Ghana@50 celebrations.
The challenges of nationhood notwithstanding, Ghana
continues to occupy an enviable position in the comity of
nations in Africa and indeed the world at large. The recent
election of His Excellency, the President John Agyekum
Kufour to the Presidency of African Union, the two term
election of Dr. Kofi Annan to the high position of UN
Secretary General as well as the various roles Ghana
continue to play in international issues and peace keeping
missions are ample testimony to this.
We are of the opinion that Ghanaians ought to be and
justifiably proud of their achievements.
Permit us once again, to wish His Excellency the President
John Agyekum Kufour and the good people of Ghana a
happy Ghana @ 50 Celebrations.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AND LONG LIVE GHANA!!!

At the end of theSecond World War in
1945 there were only
three independent coun-
tries in Africa: Liberia, which had been founded by freed slaves
and declared itself independent in 1847; Ethiopia, which was an
ancient territory and had never been colonised by a European
power despite several attempts by the Italians; and Egypt, which
had achieved independence in 1922.
Africans were burdened by colonial perceptions of who they
were. The British believed Africans were fundamentally different
from Europeans. This belief invited racism, implying that
Africans were not just different, but also inferior.
Still, the Gold Coast in the 1950s was a country with the highest
level of education in the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa. Many of
its nationals filled the civil servant ranks in Nigeria, and Gold
Coast nationalists had campaigned for home rule before the
Second World War.
But it was Kwame Nkrumahs leadership that tapped into and
elevated the independence mood of the people. Already in 1947
Nkrumah was a full-time politician, installed as General
Secretary of the political party the United Gold Coast
Convention.
The British imprisoned him for inciting people to revolt against
the status quo, but he was later freed and in 1948 formed the
more radical Convention People's Party (CPP).
In 1951 he was again imprisoned, this time for inciting strikes.
Later that year, elections were held for a larger LegislativeCouncil, with Africans in the majority.
The CPP won, and Nkrumah was released. He then negotiated a
new constitution with the British and in 1954 became Prime
Minister.
Independence was now only a matter of time and excitement
was rising. Three years later, the country broke the chains of
colonial rule independence at last!
On the following pages, we present short biographies of Ghanas
most important heads of state from Nkrumah to Kufuor.

Greater Accra Region
Shai Hills Resource Reserve
About 50 km north-east of Accra, the
reserve encompasses about 48 sq km
of largely savannah-covered plains.
It is the closest wildlife reserve to
Accra, only about an hour away under
favourable traffic conditions.
A memorable day can be spent walk-
ing through the cool, dry evergreen for-
est to the mountain caves and the rem-
nants of former Shai settlements in
the reserve.
The Dipo festival is normally per-formed between March and May and
it is an added attraction for tourists to
Shai Hills.
Centre for National Culture
The centre has a craft shop, which dis-
plays and sells Ghanaian and African
handicrafts such as pottery, ceramics
and kente weaving produced on thepremises and by other craftsmen in the
region.
The centre also runs a large artefact
market where indigenous textiles are
sold to the general public.
Patrons of the arts have the privilege
of viewing live demonstrations of
kente weaving, rattle making and
wood carving.
The centre has an art gallery which
exhibits and sells outstanding paint-
ings and sculptures produced by some
of Ghanas most celebrated artists.
Central Region
Kakum National Park
Established in 1932 but officially
opened to the public in 1994, the 357sq km national park is comprised of
mostly undisturbed virgin rainforest.
Excellent walking tours and Africas
only canopy walkway through the for-
est provide the opportunity to see
much of Ghanas indigenous plant life,
as well as rare butterflies, birds and
game.
The park in located on the Elmina
Road, about 250 km west of Accra.
Ghanas 10 regions offer many natural and cultural points of interest,from Mole Park in the north to former colonial castles along the coast.In this issue and the next, we offer a snapshot of some of the countrysmost interesting tourist spots.

Elmina Castle
The Portuguese founded the Castle of Saint George (later
simply named after the town of Elmina) in 1482 to protect
the gold-rich lands discovered in 1471.
The castle was completed according to its original plan in
1486 and the town was raised to the status of a city.
Guided tours are available for visitors, and a small muse-
um explains the history of the triangular trade between
Europe, Africa and the Americas.
Western Region
Nzulezu Stilt Village
The village is an amazing community built entirely on
stilts in the middle of Lake Tadane.
All structures are suspended over the water and trans-
port in and out is only possible by canoe.
While in the area you can visit Fort Apollonia at Beyin,
take a canoe trip up the scenic Ankasa River, or go on an
expedition with local fishermen.
Nzulezu is about 90 km from Takoradi and is bestapproached from Beyin. Visitors are welcome every day
except Thursdays, which are considered sacred.
Ankasa Conservation Area
The 500 sq km protected area consists of the Nini-Suhien
National Park and the Ankasa Resource Reserve.
For those wishing to spend the night in the park, there are
modest cabins made mostly with local building materials
and each has its own kitchen.
About 8 km from the Ankasa entrance is the spectacular
Bamboo Cathedral.
Giant bamboo shoots bow and crisscross forming a dome
and what some have called natures perfect architectural
design.

Ghana is home to numerous ethnic groups, each with
their own distinctive musical traditions. The Ewe people
of south-eastern Ghana are known for their folk styles,
which are related to the music of Benin and Togo. The
Ewe have also contributed popular styles,
especially the agbadza and borborbor, a
konkoma-highlife fusion that was
invented in the early 1950s in chickenKpandu.
North-western Ghana is home to
the Dagarti, Lobi, Wala and
Sissala peoples, who are known
for xylophone-based folk music.
Southern and central Ghana
is dominated by various
Akan peoples, includ-
ing Fante and
Ashanti. They are
known for complex
court music and a
huge log xylo-
phone used in
asonko music.
North-eastern Ghana is famous for talking drums, played
by the Gur-speaking Mamprusi, Frafra and Dagomba
nations.
During the colonial era, the Gold Coast was a hotbed of
musical synergy. Rhythms from across West Africa, espe-
cially gombe and ashiko from Sierra Leone, Liberian gui-
tar styles like dagomba, mainline and fireman, Fante osi-bisaba, European brass bands and sea shanties, and
Christian music were all combined into a melting pot that
became highlife.
The word highlife comes from the 1920s, when it was
used to describe parties held by the European upper class
to which the locals aspired. There were two types of
highlife at the time.
Dance orchestras played at the parties of the elite, while
poor, rural guitarists played a kind of often-scorned music
that was also called palm wine music (the term palm
wine has referred to multiple styles from West Africa, but
is now more commonly associated with the popular
music of Sierra Leone). Originally associated with the
Fante people, the guitar-based highlife spread across the
country and, to a lesser degree, abroad.
From Highlife to
Hiplife,

culture
In the 1930s, Sam's
Trio, led by Jacob
Sam, was the most
influential of thehighlife guitar bands.
Their "Yaa
Amponsah", three
versions of which
were recorded in
1928 for Zonophone,
was a major hit that
remains a popular
staple of numerous
highlife bands. Thenext major guitar-
band leader was E.K.
Nyame, who led the
Akan Trio and sang in
Twi. Nyame also
added the double
bass and some ele-
ments from jazz and
Cuban music.In the 1960s, dance highlife was more popular than gui-
tar-band highlife; most of the guitar bands began using
the electric guitar until a roots revival in the mid-1970s.
Dance highlife evolved during World War II, when
American jazz and swing became popular with the arrival
of servicemen from the United States and United
Kingdom.
After independence in 1957, the socialist government
began encouraging folk music, but highlife remained pop-
ular, with new influences from Trinidadian and Congolese
music. E.T. Mensah was the most influential musician of
this period, and his band The Tempos frequently accom-
panied the president.
The original bandleader of The Tempos was Guy Warren,
who was responsible for introducing Caribbean music to
Ghana and, later, was known for a series of innovative
fusions of African rhythms and American jazz. King Bruce,Jerry Hansen and Stan Plange also led influential dance
bands during the 1950s and 60s. By the 1970s, however,
pop music from Europe and the US dominated the
Ghanaian scene until a mid-1970s roots revival.
By the beginning of the 1970s, traditionally styled highlife
had been overtaken by electric guitar bands and pop-
dance music. Since 1966 and the fall of President Kwame
Nkrumah, many Ghanaian musicians moved abroad, set-
tling in the US, UK and Nigeria. Highlife bands like
Okukuseku recorded in Lagos or Nigeria's eastern Igbo
region.
In 1971, the Soul to Soul music festival was held in Accra.Several legendary American musicians played, including
Wilson Pickett, Ike and Tina Turner and Carlos Santana.
With the exception of Mexican-American Santana, these
American superstars were all black, and their presence in
Accra was seen as legitimizing Ghanaian music.
Though the concert is now mostly remembered for its role
as a catalyst in the subsequent Ghanaian roots revival, it
also led to increased popularity for American rock and
soul. Inspired by the American musicians, new guitarbands arose in Ghana, including the Ashanti Brothers,
Nana Ampadu & the African Brothers, The City Boys and
more.

The Last King
of Scotland
Tagline: Charming.M a g n e t i c .
Murderous.
Plot Outline: Based on the events of the brutal Ugandan
dictator Idi Amin's regime as seen by his personal
physician during the 1970s
In the early 1970s, Nicholas Garrigan, a young idealis-
tic Scottish doctor, comes to Uganda to assist in a rural
hospital. Once there, he soon meets the new President,
Idi Amin, who promises a golden age for the African
nation.
Garrigan hits it off immediately with Amin, a rabid
Scotland fan, who offers him a senior position in the
national health department and becomes one of the
president's closest advisers. However as the years
pass, Garrigan cannot help but notice Amin's increas-
ingly erratic behaviour that grows beyond a legitimatefear of assassination into a murderous insanity that is
driving Uganda into bloody ruin.
Realising his dire situation with the lunatic leader
unwilling to let him go home, Garrigan must make some
crucial decisions that could mean his death if the des-
pot finds out.
Lords of warTagline: The first and
most important rule of
gun-running is: never get
shot with your own mer-
chandise.
Plot Outline: An arms
dealer (Cage) confronts
the morality of his work
as he is being chased by an Interpol agent (Hawke).
This film charts the rise and fall of Yuri Orlov, from his
early days in the early 1980s in Little Odessa, selling
guns to mobsters in his local neighbourhood, through to
his ascension during the '80s and early '90s, when he
forms a business partnership with an African warlord
and his psychotic son.
The film charts Orlov's relationship with his younger
brother, his marriage to a famous model, his relentless
pursuit by a determined federal agent and his inner
demons that sway between his drive for success and
the immorality of what he does.
Blood Diamond
Tagline: Truth
Plot Outline: A
farmer, a smuggler,
and a syndicate of businessmen match wits over the
possession of a priceless diamond.
Set against the backdrop of civil war and chaos in1990s Sierra Leone, Blood Diamond is the story of
Danny Archer (Leonardo DiCaprio) a South African
mercenary and Solomon Vandy (Djimon Hounsou) a
Mende fisherman.
Both men are African, but their histories as different as
any can be, until their fates become joined in a common
quest to recover a rare pink diamond that can transform
their lives. While in prison for smuggling, Archer learns
that Solomon who was taken from his family andforced to work in the diamond fields has found and
hidden the extraordinary rough stone.
With the help of Maddy Bowen (Jennifer Connelly), an
American journalist whose idealism is tempered by a
deepening connection with Archer, the two men
embark on a trek through rebel territory, a journey that
could save Solomon's family and give Archer the sec-
ond chance he thought he would never have.

By West African standards, Ghana has a
diverse and rich resource base. The coun-
trys economy, however, is mainly agricul-
tural with a majority of its workers
engaged in farming.
Cash crops consist primarily of cocoa and
cocoa products, which typically provide
about two-thirds of export revenues, tim-ber products, coconuts and other palm
products, shea nuts, which produce an
edible fat, and coffee.
Ghana also has established a successful
program of non-traditional agricultural
products for export, including pineapples,
cashews, and pepper. Cassava, yams,
plantains, maize, rice, peanuts, millet, andsorghum are the basic foodstuffs. Fish,
poultry, and meat are important dietary
staples.
Principally gold, diamonds, manganese
ore, and
bauxite are
produced and
exported. The
only commer-cial oil well
has been
closed after
producing 3.5
million bar-
rels over its
seven-year life, but signs of natural gas
are being studied for power generation,
while exploration continues for other oil
and gas resources.
Ghanas industrial base is relatively
advanced compared to many other African
countries. Import-substitution industries
include textiles, steel (using scrap), tyres,oil refining, flour milling, beverages,
tobacco, simple consumer goods, and car,
truck, and bus assembly.
Tourism has become one of Ghanas
largest foreign income earners, and the
government has placed great emphasis
upon further tourism support and develop-
ment.
Today, for the Golden Jubilee, the country
is stable and expecting a lot for the future.
Many activities are planned for the year,
which it is hoped will boost the economy.
The Golden Jubilee will be an opportunity
to showcase to the world that African
countries are entering a new period. This
year Ghana becomes the first colonised
sub-Saharan state to celebrate 50 years
of independence, but it will be followed
by several others in the next five years.

Students at CCS Conservatory of Arts
are only children but theyve per-
formed with Bono and Beyonce and
written sonatas and symphonies.
Despite coming from diverse back-
grounds, these aspiring artists are
united by their passion for performing
and the free training theyve received
at the CCS conservatory in the Accrasuburb of Dzorwulu.
For ten years the non-profit organisa-
tion has been training African youth in
dance, music, piano, drama, modelling
and gymnastics at its Saturday
Academy.
We help them realize, God has given
each one unique talents and a purposefor their lives. If they use it, they can
better their lives, the nation and
mankind, said Marquita Stokes, who
with her mother, Ruth Stokes, both
from the United
States, founded
CCS.
The most promising students at
the conservatory are given schol-
arships for primary through to ter-
tiary education.
Africa has many rich resources,
but the most valuable resources
are the young human resources, said
Marquita. Given the right education
and resources they will make the realchanges on the continent.
Higher Calling
In 1995 Ruth and Marquita decided to
uplift their lives in the United States
and follow a higher calling. (Ruth
was retired at the time, after more
than 40 years as a musician and
teacher. Marquita was a successfultelevision, video and theatre produc-
er).
They loaded a 40-foot container with
educational items and computers and
headed to Ghana.
It was a divine appointment that we
had to follow, said Ruth.
They start-
ed in a
room at a
school in
Korle Gonno in Accra, offering after-
school tutoring. Soon they were
teaching more than 40 children at a
time, eventually moving to their cur-rent location in Dzorwulu and expand-
ing the courses offered.
In 2002, more than 750 children audi-
tioned for the selective Gateway
Program.
CCS conservatory is funded by Ruth
Stokes retirement, family, churches
and parents of students at theSaturday Academy. For every four chil-
dren enrolled in the Saturday
Academy, CCS strives to offer at least
one scholarship.

This weekend, my curiosity led me to the opening of a Lebanese restau-
rant right in the heart of Osu.
The interior dcor (down to the Arabic seating) got my tummy rumbling,
long before I took a glance at the menu. And I was not disappointed in
that area either.
After a good hour of stuffing my face with some fantastic delicacies,
imagine my relief when I got a chance to exercise off the food, through
some Arabic dancing. (I didnt know how, so they taught me.)
As if that wasnt enough, in walked Elvis Presley or was that Paul
Ritchie? who kept our feet tapping to the good old tunes.
Adonis has come to fill a void that I never realised was there before. This
was exactly the kind of evening out that I had been missing; food, dance,
entertainment with a good dose of culture, all under one roof. Or do the
pictures tell a lie?

Hello Editor,
My name is Ifeanyi Dibia, and I live
in Lagos, Nigeria. My brother recent-
ly visited Ghana and returned with a
copy of Enjoy Accra. I was really
thrilled, and I enjoyed every bit of
the pages.
Your vision and hard work are appre-
ciated and highly commended. More
grace to your beautiful mind.
I am a creative writer in my own
right, and I have just concluded work
on my first magazine, called
BlueDream. Its a lifestyle and cam-
pus guide magazine.
Is it possible for me to receive more
editions of Enjoy Accra? I believe it
is a great opportunity for me to
know more about the culture and
people of Ghana while still living far
away.
Please reply and let me know the
possibilities. I would sincerely appre-
ciate it.
Thank you,

2006 CAF Football Awards
WHO IS MICHAEL ESSIEN?
He is midfield multifunctional, he is dynamic
and strong.
The boy has incredible physical power, he is
super resistant with great speed and unending
tactical abilities. Chelsea F.C. Coach Jos
Mourinho on his midfielder in the May 2006
FIFA Magazine
But Michael Essien is all that and more. Think
hero, superstar an idol for a generation of
young Ghanaians who dream of dribbling down
a professional pitch.
Essien was born December 3, 1982, in Accra. Hebegan his career at a local club, Liberty
Professionals FC.
He remained relatively unknown in world foot-
ball until his outstanding performance at the
Under-17 World Cup in 1999 got European
scouts buzzing.
In July of that same year, French club SC Bastiahad signed him.

sport
At Bastia he did not command a regular place in the
team, playing at right back, left back and in central
defence. But as a result of a team mates injury,
Essiens coach made the wise decision to give him a
crack at central midfield. Essien flourished. In 2001,
he participated in the World Youth Championship in
Argentina and in 2002, at the African Nations Cup, hedebuted on Ghanas senior team, the Black Stars.
Soon Essien was compared to Frenchman Patrick
Vieira because of his ability to go from box to box. In
2002/03 season he helped Bastia qualify for the UEFA
Cup. He scored six goals that season.
Still, he was only 20 years old at the time and with
each passing year he grew stronger and harder tack-
ler. Top French and English teams made offers andeventually Essien moved to Olympique Lyonnais. At
Lyon, Essien played more defensive midfield, featur-
ing regularly in the team that won the third and fourth
of their current string of five consecutive Ligue 1
titles.
In August 2005, Essien declared that he would go on
strike against Lyon because of the clubs refusal to
transfer him to English Premiership championsChelsea. His dramatic move worked, and on August
14th Lyon and Chelsea announced their 26m deal for
the Ghanaian, ending one of the longest-running
transfer sagas in recent English football history.
On August 21st, 2005, Essien made his debut with
Chelsea, against
Arsenal F.C. and wearing
the number 5 on his
shirt. He soon cemented
his place in Jos
Mourinhos side, starting the majority of the league
games since his debut. Essien could well form part ofa powerful Chelsea midfield with Frank Lampard for
years to come.
On May 16th, 2006, Essien was selected to represent
Ghana at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. He shared
the midfield with team captain Stephen Appiah of
Fenerbahe and Sulley Ali Muntari of Udinese. Essien
played in Ghanas 0-2 defeat to Italy, their 2-0 victory
over the Czech Republic, and the 2-1 victory over the
United States, and helped Ghana become the only
African team to reach the second round of the 2006
World Cup.
However, Essien was suspended for Ghanas second
round match against Brazil and could only watch as
Ghana lost 0-3. Upon the teams return to Ghana,
Essien said that the team had gained invaluable expe-
rience and will be aiming to make the next finals, to
be held in South Africa in 2010.
Essien was nominated for the 2005 and 2006 FIFA
World Player of the Year Awards, placing 22nd in
both. In 2006, he was also nominated for the Ballon
dOr. At the time of going to press, he is one of the top
three finalists for African Footballer of the Year.

recipe
INGREDIENTS:
Five to six pounds of
fresh pork leg (hind or
front will also do),
serves eight
2 kg of boiled pota-toes
2 cans of mild
Sauerkraut
Olive oil
Vinegar
Ground oregano
Bay leavesfresh garlic
Black pepper
Salt
METHODBlend two tablespoons ofvinegar, two tablespoons ofsalt, one tablespoon of groundgarlic, ground black pepper totaste (one-quarter teaspoonfor finicky diners, one tea-
spoon for those with a tastefor hotter dishes) and oreganoto taste (one teaspoon forfinicky tastes, up to two table-spoons to really let it out).
Then use a thin sharp knife topierce the leg all the way tothe centre bone. Try makingyour incisions so that the knife
runs a couple of inches alongthe side of the bone by movingyour wrist so that the initialslit remains no larger than thesize of the knife.
Repeat the incisions carefullyalong the length of the porkleg. A five to six pound porkleg requires some twenty inci-sions.
Now you need a way to push
the basting all the way insidethe pork leg through each inci-sion. Use a long-handledspoon if you dont have a bast-ing tool. Insert the handle endfirst if the spoon is wider thanthe incision slit. There shouldbe enough basting paste leftover to cover the whole skinand some under-the-skin slits.
Bake your pork leg at 350-450degrees Fahrenheit. A goodrule of thumb is 35 minutesper pound. Set some means of
collecting the juices that willooze from the leg as it cooksand rebaste the pork leg withthe juices about twicethroughout the process, shift-ing positions of the leg at eachbasting. Allow to cool for a
few minutes before serving.
Boil the potatoes, and cutthem into quarter pieces. Heatup olive oil in a frying pan, addgarlic and ground oregano.Roast the potatoes until theyare brown and crispy. Heat upolive oil in a frying pan, addthe sauerkraut and stir it for
two to three minutes. Add aglass of dry white wine andsome bay leaves.

Make me an uncle!Stan was seconds away from receiving a vasectomy when his brother- and sister-in-lawbarged into the room holding their newborn baby.
Stop, you can't do this! exclaimed the brother.
And why not? asked Stan.
But don't you want a beautiful baby someday like my wife and I have here? the brotherasked.
Stan said nothing. The brother grew impatient. Cmon, Stan, I want a nephew.
Stan couldn't take it anymore. He gave his sister-in-law an apologetic look and asked hisbrother, You're sure you want a nephew?
Yes, the brother replied, it would be an honour.
Well, congratulations! You're holding him.
Brain-transplant!There once a mid-level executive, who in his frustration atbeing consistently passed over for promotion, went for abrain transplant in the hope of raising his IQ.
The brain surgeon informed him: An ounce of an accoun-tant's brain costs 5 million; an ounce of an economist'sbrain, 10 million; an ounce of a blue-chip CEO, 20 mil-lion; and an ounce of a politicians brain, 50 million.
Flabbergasted, the man asked, 50 million for an ounce ofa politicians brain? Is it imported?
No, the surgeon responded, 100 percent home grown.
Why on earth is that? All they do is to fight among them-selves and behave as if Ghana is so advanced that wehave the leisure to mudsling.
Do you have any idea, the surgeon asked, how manypoliticians we would have to kill to get an ounce of use-able brain?
On Sale Now!A man went into a store and began looking around. He sawa washer and dryer, but there was no price listed on them.He asked the sales person, How much are the washer anddryer?
50,000 for both of them, the salesman said.
Yeah right, you've got to be kidding me! the man replied
sarcastically.
No, that's the price, the salesman said. Do you want tobuy them or not?
Of course, I'll take them! the customer responded. Hecontinued to look around and saw a car stereo system witha detachable face cassette player, a CD changer, amplifier,speakers, and subwoofers. How much? he asked.
50,000 for the system, the salesman answered.
Is it stolen? the guy asks.
No, said the salesman, It's brand new do you want itor not?
Sure, the customer replied. He looked around somemore. Next he found a top-of-the-line computer with print-er and monitor. How much?
50,000 was the familiar response.
I'll take that too! the man said.
As the salesperson was ringing up the purchases, the manasked him, Why are your prices so cheap?
The salesman said, Well, the owner of the store is at myhouse right now with my wife. What he's doing to her, I'mdoing to his business!
