[Paul Lismore] Despite eveything, always look on the bright side of life...

That is a line from one of the finest comedy films ever, The Life of Brian. It tells you that life is a piece of shit, and death is a joke, but always remember that the last laugh is on you...In other words, don't take life too seriously, and always retain a sense of humour, esp when the laugh is at your expense....something that our politicians, so full of themselves, unfortunately do not understand.

As almost everything we hear about Mauritius is bad these days, learn to find the nuggets of humour that make our pain more bearable...For example:

1/ Did you know that there is no crime in Mauritius now? No rapes, no indecent assaults, no murders esp political ones a la Kistnen, no corruption, no large scale thieving of our money, no crime at all that comes under ICAC, no house burglaries, no domestic violence, no big time drugs importers, etc...You don't believe me?

Alor, explik moi kifer ene Assistant Police Commissioner p aprane konte dan la marche ban zavokas? Falle pena oken crime dan pays pou li teste si li kapav kont ziska 50, non? Et li bizin konne tou avokas dan pays (preske ene millier...) pou li ressi koner ki zis avokas ki ti p marse, et la marche pa ti ena dimoune ki fek sorti depi bazaar et p senti zot sitan tourdi avek prix ban legumes ki zot suiv sa ban dimounes dan zoli costime la, parski zot koir ki zot p al ene place kot van ban bon zafer bo marche....

But look on the bright side of things! Nou ena ene Assistant Police Commissioner ki konne konte ziska 50, and that is a major achievement compared to the mediocrity of Dipshit...

2/ Zot envi touy kiken? Zot envi touy ene politicien ki zot pa siporte? Mari facile sa! Pa bizin oken zarm, fizi, kouto, la serpe, seringue poison, narien! Nou la police vreman extraordiner in dekouver ki Kistnen ti mort akoz li ti gagne peur! Alor, kan zot soizir zot target, largue ene petar derier li, et tapaz la pou fer li sitan peur ki li mort en place! Et kom bonus, donne li ene boite zalimet pou li kapav relevee, alime dife lor li, alonze, et re mort, parey kouma la police ti dire ti arive Kistnen...

FBI et Scotland Yard in fer demane pou ki Dipshit et Jangi vine entraine zot lor kouma touffe lenket dan ene facon sitan kouyon et ridikil ki dimoune zis rier...

3/ Ena dimoune pou plaigner ki ena ene plaz nudiste a Roches Noires...But look on the bright side: Si dimoune perdi direktion et pa koner kot pou aller, tou ban zom lor la plaz pou montrer zot direktion Nord...mai pa avek zot le doi! Ban ki dan bez ou zafer la lor somaz, zot pou montrer zis direction central, parski pou al le nord tro difficile pou monte sa distance la...But the will is there even if zafer la dire, avoy moi ferfoute...

4/ Vaccination Covid in koumanse pou zenfans 5 a 11 ans. Boukou parents p dire Jagutpal, met pikire la dan to fesse et krier kookoorikoo en meme tan! Pa tousse nou zenfans!

5/ Pravind Chouchou Jugnauth p dire ki akoz pri sousou in tro monte, li pou fer Lachanya D partaz so sousou avek zot, lor meme conditions ki li fer avek Anal Ganoo, le souceur: San oken condition, parski li ene patriote, ki kontan montrer kouma li souffer parey kouma dimoune ordiner....

Mo ti bien zour mo pied mangue hier: Mo dire li, sa lannee la oussi to pou donne mangues zis ban sousouri? Li dire moi, avek so zoure tou, " Ta bilinbi! To kouyon! Pa mo faute si toi et Lepep pa kapav konvink le Chouchou Jugnauth al koup riban asoir, pou nou kapav 29 lor li. Depi kan nou p atane pou kk lor so la tete? Tu est un ggt, buunuum!"

So people, it is pointless worrying about all the bad things in our lives. Sing along to this and you will feel much better, promise...
