Good News

Wednesday March 16

We stayed at a guest house in Cape Town and the manager of the house (meaning bag guy, bartender, waiter, etc.) was a black guy named Goodnews. One of the guys in my group went out with friends right after we arrived so he hadn't met Goodnews.
The next morning Goodnews called us with wake up calls at 6:30am. When he called the guy he had not yet met the following conversation occurred:
Goodnews: Hi, this is Goodnews
Guy (half asleep and hungover): What's the good news?
Goodnews: This is your wake up call.
Guy: How the hell is that good news?
Goodnews: No, I am Goodnews
Guy: Whatever man, I'm up (hangs up)

He then showers and comes down to breakfast, at which point he meets our waiter- Goodnews. The look on his face was priceless as we watched him put together what had happened in his head...
