"Please work hard in Africa as the wife."

Exchanged emails with a former student in Japan telling them I'm in Africa now with my wife, and while I think she's running her responses through the 'net translator due to some construction and word choice, part of her response included the phrase - "Please work hard in Africa as the wife."

And that's just too funny/on the nose to not laugh.

A man less secure in his manly masculinity might have issues, you know...

So now I'm off to go kill an elephant armed with only a butter knife and chopsticks.  Then drink a beer while shaving with a straight razor and smoking a cigar.  Yes.
