FoxTrot by Bill Amend for September 12, 2010

Between the carrying-stuff-on-the-head and certain African pictures, National Geographic can be a bad influence. :D

I’ve tried carrying laundry that way – it works. It is better than holding it in front. But, I have at least one hand on the basket to steady it.

He probably forgot to duck at the doorway.

And we certainly want to do things the way they do in Africa, right?

Hon, get me two sticks to rub, then I kill dinner.

You mean mommy and daddy knew about those pictures in NG?

They do that in many regions of Portugal, too. I would believe carrying stuff on your head is common practice in a lot more places than Africa.

“And we certainly want to do things the way they do in Africa, right?”

Judging by the number of people I see with tattoos and body piercings - apparently, yes.

Peter should think Super Mario 2 next time.

Anyone remember the marriage ceremony at Cetshwayos’ kraal in the movie “Zulu”?

Hi Nabuquduriuzhur, Those body piercings you mentioned still happen in lots of places in south India, Singapore, Malaysia etc. Also the ritual fire walking. They do it for Lord Muruga during the Thaipusam festival.

I would still like Foxtrot every day. And yes, I know about the classics.

i can do that w/ my super-heavy math book!

In Africa they use their hands to balance the basket on their head.

SOYTENLY

Actually, in Africa they hold the baskets on their head do the their hands

Mum put a stop to it after Peter tried with the dishes
