I wonder how high that young boy would jump

if that gator twitched. Oh by the way that young lady is typical of all the camp cooks in Africa. The girls that clean up our tents look just like her too.

Also I have probably posted this before but here goes again.
On one of our safaris there was a young man who was afraid of everything in Africa. The tents are big things holding 2 or 3 hunters with a shower and toilet in the back.. The mornings were cool so Puffy and I told this young man that around 6 AM one of the camp girls would come into his tent and crawl into his bed to keep him warm. We told him about 6 AM he would hear the tents big zipper go down and one of the camp ladies would come in real quietly and crawl into the tent to keep him warm and they never turned the lights on as they were on generators but the ladies could do their warming up things in the dark. That scared hell out of him. Truthfully one of the girls would come into the tent and bring in coffee and some cookies and sit them on the table by each man's bed but that's it..
Early that morning when that big zipper zipped the fly open and one of the girls came into the tent with Puffy's coke (no coffee for Puff) and leave. They brought the morning coffee for each of us every morning. When we heard the zipper I heard the young man get covered up and Puffy started making sounds like he was getting the full package. The young man was scared shitless and kept mumbling "I don't need any. I'm OK".
I heard the maid bringing the coffee and cookies for the young man. As soon as she set his coffee and cookies on his table he jumped up and ran to the back of the tent where there was a toilet and shower. He kept yelling at Puff and I to tell her he didn't need anything. Puffy kept telling him it was a special African way of starting the day and how good looking this young girl was (she actually weighed probably 300 LBs and was friendly but not that friendly.
Finally we couldn't hold it in and started laughing. He was pissed off at us for a couple of days.
