Nigerian watches are loaded up with sin...
THIS IS A NIGERIAN WATCH - WATCH OUT FOR IT FOR IT HAS BEEN PROVEN SINFUL... Now let me introduce you to a Ghanian watch...
This is a Ghanian Watch, we are reluctant to consider it also sinful, but apparently it is...let me share what happened today that provides the proof of the wretched state of these two messengers of timeless misery...
These two lovely sisters were involved in a terrible plot of sinister activity this morning but apparently 'the devil really did make them do it' or at least his watch did. During our lesson on Taking Control of our Life by Taking Control of our Time (the lesson material for this lesson I 'borrowed' from one of my past lives and with this powerful material I train the missionaries and only charge them a small percentage of what we used to charge our Franklin customers - a real bargain for them and some pocket change for me and the wife) but, anyway that's not the point of this entertaining learning experience. To spice up the teaching I asked by show of hands those who had not gone to bed on time last night. Three of twenty eight raised their hands (11% for you non-math majors - way better than church average, but not perfection which we shoot for in the MTC). Now we had some people to use as bad examples and point at and mock and all the stuff that humans do to belittle those that have sinned worse than we have. Our only three sisters were enjoying the tongue in cheek lesson being taught as much as anyone - including some snickering about 'those' three sinners - 'sinners', who by the way, were taking this self control - time management training - in good spirits as it was intended - (but none were missing the messages that were becoming very obvious such as when three 'decide to break even a LITTLE commandment' it takes the opportunity for the unity that could have made us into another Army of Helaman to go away.) But,anyway, right in the middle of a good snickering 'mock' by the sisters I asked if anyone had come to breakfast late (knowing they had arrived twenty minutes late and they knew I knew, but had forgotten I knew, or did not see it as the same 'little sin' as going to bed twenty minutes late). The three sisters put their guilty hands up and looked at each other realising the 'mocking' was now going to be coming in their direction. They immediately began back peddling and finally the Nigerian Sister (the three Sisters are from Nigeria, Ghana and the Congo) finally got a smile on her face and in her defense she said, "We don't have a clock in our room!" I quickly looked down at her and then at her other two companions, each of which had a semi-fancy watch on their pretty wrists and I quickly responded with, "What are these?" holding up the Nigerian Sisters watch for all to see (everyone was besides themselves by now) and then she said - just as quickly to me and her mockers - "This is a Nigerian Watch!" It's now up to you to decide: Are the Sisters Guilty of a 'crime' or did the devil and his watches make them do it???
