Wadau, I have overslept. And this is because my sleep was interrupted at 1am by my neighbour banging on my gate. At my age, sleep becomes like an erection- very hard to come by, and harder to regain when interrupted.
The reason my bonobo neighbor was waking me (and the entire neighborhood) up is because there was a fire in one of the slum-like structures that are an eyesore to our estate (gated, with paved roads, street lights, named streets, manned gates, numbered houses and service charge). Never mind that the fire was like 1km away, across the highway and fire engine was on site. But she was persistent and therefore I woke up.
She told me that I needed to switch off my electricity mains, otherwise the fire would spread to my house (by electrical osmosis???). Imagine that. She interrupted my sleep at 1am so that I can switch off my power. Haki I felt like spanking her. Just that she's old enough to be my mother.
Wadau, where do bonobi get this idea that electricity spreads fire?
