WHAT MAKES U AN "AFRICAN"???
>
>1. You unwrap all your gifts carefully, so that you can re-use the wrapper.
>
>2. You call a person you've never met before uncle or aunty.
>
>3.More than 90% of the music CD's and cassettes in your home are illegal copies or nicked from friends/family.
>
>4. Your garage is always full of stuff because you never throw anything away, just in case you need it someday. (A gum boot without a partner and the baby walker - baby's now 12 and you are 48).
>
>5. You have a collection of miniature shampoo bottle from your stays at hotels. (Go cool, Sweet heart, African pride....)
>
>6. You always carry overweight baggage when travelling by plane.
>
>7. If a store has a limit on the quantity of a product, then each member of the family will join separate queues to purchase the maximum quantity possible. (Sugar, soap, rice, cooking oil).
>
>8. All children have nicknames and grow up not recognising their first names.
>
>9. Nobody in your family informs you that they are coming to visit - and they stay for a month!
>
>10. You stuff your pockets with, mints and toothpicks at restaurants and a glass from the pub/bar.
>
>11. Your mother, brother, sister has a minor disagreement with a member of the family and does not talk to him/her forever.
>
>12. You only make telephone calls at a cheaper rate at night and stay on the phone for at least an hour!
>
>13. You never have less than 20 people to meet you at the airport or see you off even if it is a local flight.
>
>14. You keep changing your Internet Service Providebecause the first month is free. (I know some people O!.....)
>
>15. Office supplies mysteriously find their way to your home. (Yes, staple machine, office pins, punch machine, cello tapes, post-its, etc.)
>
>16. Your parents buy/bought you clothes and shoes at least two sizes too big so that they would last longer.
>
>Note: Pass this on to other Africans, so they can know what makes them truly African.

Hi,
This sounds very true to me!  I have been a culprit of most of them.  Its partly, the spirit of hording. We keep a lot of trash around that we don't need.  We should learn to give.
Great.
