No sticks, no spears, no fun!

Cueibet County in Lakes State (where I work), has banned sticks, and spears in town. Although I feel people should be able to make their own decisions, spears are pretty common and dangerous.

This isn't all that was banned.
"Malek’s order also banned people from using playing cards, normally under trees, during working hours, making it a prosecutable offence."



No fun city. Next comes dancing and music.

There is more than one way...

A week or so back Erin In Juba had a post on goat transportation.

Which I thought was pretty clever. And an excellent use of resources.

It turns out this innovative form of transportation has caught on. Not only moving goats... but SPLA officers as well.


If the bulldozer is going somewhere, and not carrying anything, I guess why not? Although I think they should look into wearing hardhats.
