Mr Alhaji sat in the shade of the Cotonou Sports Stadium and scratched his beard. The deal that had seemed so lucrative in Ghana 2 days ago now seemed increasingly suspicious. He had taken the night bus from Accra to Cotonou and arrived at 0100 hrs. Try as he might, he was unable to locate the Hotel. He had a small sample of Gold in his pocket and was itching to rob the stupid Maga of his $10 000 USD in cash and accompanying bank transfer. Where in Hell was he...?

Quote:

“Man, you are a Joker!”
“Your Hotel is not in Cotonou!”
“Why your Cotonou number is not going?”
“The telephone number on your website is ‘419’ at the end”
“You have Hotels all over Africa and none of these address is existing”

Congrats on your -- what number are you up to now? -- safari! Another happy customer.

Thanks! I am unsure now exactly what it should be, as I have a few unclaimed to add and update the total. I hope that you will enjoy the audio...

NB: Now updated.

Those calls are hilarious! Love the main whiny lad and his sidekick yelling things in the background. You can hear their pain. hahahaha

That self-styled "chief" is a whining, obstreprous old whinger. More anger from him, please!

Dearest Monsignor, returning to my earlier observation of your incredibly credible and plausible deadpan delivery, I have tried to think of comparisons. Two names from the finest that British Comedy has to offer come to mind: Julia Lewis (especially in her productions "Hunderby" & "Nighty Night") and John Cleese especially in his roles as an earnest interviewer! Furthermore, I don't know about the others here, but your voice is having another effect on me: You may remember that after Tommy Cooper had established himself he did not even have to be visible on stage for people to break out with laughter, the sound of his voice alone was more than sufficient to generate fits! That's how your voice is affecting me. I am exceedingly happy that you are back with another safari, and although the voices of the lads consistently remain inaudible I am very entertained! Thank you!

You never cease to amaze me! Bravo!!! beers!

Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2015 4:28 am

Outstanding as always, Monsignor. He definitely sounds upset.

Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2015 10:35 am

Wait! SH Cotonou is a very pleasant property-why couldn't he find it?

I really like the guys in the background!

I always love requesting that lads just "pop on up" to some city that is hundreds of miles further. Laughing

These lads seemed to love it too.

You know, if you wrote this stuff as part of a movie it would be farce and totally unbelievable.

It's priceless ! Just want to have been a fly on the wall.

That audio is pure excellence. I desperately wish I could phone bait, but I just get the gigglies way too easily.

Absolutely top drawer baiting.

Another amazing adventure! Well done!

I have to know - how the heck do you guys keep from laughing when you're on the phone??? I wouldn't make it 10 seconds! LOL

We're going to have to change the term "safari" to a TM.
"Man, I finally got that laze lad to get up and go on a TM to Cotonou!"

Another excellent job sir! bow_down

You're on to something there.

"Temporary Migration"?

Hello All! Whenever I click the link that leads to the soundcloud audio the lad is almost completely inaudible whereas The Monsignor can be heard loud and clear. Is that just me and my computer or are you guys experiencing the same issue?

Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2015 12:54 am

The lads are loud and clear on my computer. I'm not sure why yours isn't working well. Question

Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2015 1:06 am

^ When I was listening to it, the lad's voice came from one headphone and the Monsignor's from the other. It ould be an issue with one of your speakers or headphones.

This is great stuff. The lads don't sound happy at all. Very Happy

Bugger the acoustic playback quality, this is what matters...

Cotonou is now the place to be! Congrats TM on another brilliant safari with marvelous audio. And here's to many many more!

TM, I remember reading and listening to some audio of a safari that you did or were involved with, where you had the lad hand the phone to some soldiers or cops and told them to be careful because the lad might be a mercinary.

One of the funniest things I've ever heard. I can't seem to find it again. Do you remember which bait that was or happen to have a link for it?
