An idiot’s guide to packing shopping



Diagrammatic Step-by-step guide
 
Kenya, near Mithini, 70km from Nairobi, 2cm below kneecap, just to the right of femoral artery


Follow these simple steps, and the diagram provided, and you too could be the proud bearer of a scar on the back of your knee cap:
  1. Purchase 6 inch steel knife from local market
  2. Hastily throw into hessian sack with several kilograms of potatoes as your matatu (minibus) turns up
  3. Retrieve hessian sack from matatu’s roof at completion of journey
  4. Pick up heavy sack in a backwards swinging motion
  5. Allow protruding knife blade to swing into the back of your leg
  6. Turn white, bleed a lot
  7. Apply gauze and duct tape, be officially banned by WatotoWa Baraka management from using knifes in future
