Captured Pirate “Very happy to be here”

Musi, as it turns out, is a pirate by day, and a rapper by night. He raps about money, prison and b*tches, but has found it hard to prove himself “street credible” since he has never been to prison. “Life in an American federal prison will make my message far more marketable,” explains Musi. “There are plenty of b*tches in prison.”

Ghana Postpones Val’s Day to Feb 15th

President Bush is planning a whirlwind tour of the 5 remaining peaceful countries in Africa this month. In honor and anticipation of his arrival of his first stop, Ghana, plans have been made to post pone Valentine’s Day. MaizeBreak interviewed the vice president to get the scoop.

“President Kufuor is giddywith excitement,” revealed Alhaji Aliu Mahama. “Last year, he declared Valentine’s Day as national chocolate day and gave everyone in the nation one free peace of chocolate so that they could enjoy the holiday. We want Mr. Bush to witness that euphoria.”

For some people in the country, that chocolate bar was the only meal they had eaten that day. The government hopes that if the American premier should stop and quiz any passer by, they can answer truthfully that they have indeed eaten that day, and that the meal was fed to them in the spirit of love.

We asked if there was any thought that Mr. Bush, or the rest of the world, might frown on the fact that Valentine’s Day had been delayed, perpetuating the notion that Africans are perpetually late.

“That’s nonsense,” said Mr. Mahama. “Mathematically, we could convert the number 15 in binary code, and that would equal 14 in the Chinese lunar calendar. We are honoring our old colonial slavers (the Americans) and our new colonial masters (the Chinese) AND feeding the nation chocolate. It’s a win for all!”
