The K Experience

I'm gonna put myself out on a limb here and say that nearly every woman brought up in Africa (sub saharan at least) can do the above. But why have I not seen women in other countries doing this?

Actually, I tell a lie. Ladies etiquette practice similar to Miss "Aspirations and Dreams of Grandure" over here, is the only other example. Once the women lose the monkey walk they came in with, off come the books. What a waste of a balancing skill! What they need to do next is increase the weights. "Take the four books off, love. Now try it with this 10kilo box of yams."

But picture this: You're a lady, and you have a bag of shopping in one hand, and your daughters birthday cake under your other arm. You've got to your car, and you need to take your keys out of your pocket. You don't want to put the shopping or the cake down because you are surrounded by a sea of theaving leprechauns that would take any opportunity to run off with your goods, a common scenario. The lady on the right, who would have stopped after the four books, without practicing on more advanced implements, would have been doomed. Not being able to balance the cake on her head, she would have been forced to place one object on the floor. I guess it would have been the cake, which would then have been taken by the leprechauns. The daughter, due to the dispair of not having a cake on her birthday, would have killed herself. The husband would not have been able to live with the loss of his daughter and killed himself too. Thus leaving the lazy ass woman all alone with only the guilt of having destroyed her family.

The young girl in the top picture, on the other hand, would have been able place that cake on her head, freeing the one hand. She probably would have been able to put the bag of shopping on there too, balancing it perfectly well, freeing both hands. She would then have been able to shooo away the lepricorns with one hand, and extract her keys from her pocket with her other hand, open the car door, and leave in safety, thus keeping her daughter happy and saving her family. If that's not a reason to adopt the skill of balancing things on your head, then quite frankly, I don't know what is.

"So what about the guys?" I hear you all shout. Well, they can't leave the girls to have all the fun. I tell you the truth when I say that I saw a guy carry a WHOLE FRIDGE on his head. Honestly. It was amazing. You can always trust the guys to step it up a notch! But just like the guy in my very accurate depiction, he was trembling a bit, and didn't look best pleased. I don't blame him. I'm thinking they should adopt a new event for the worlds strongest man!

So there you have it. Balancing things on your head, not just something to impress the girlfriend (or boyfriend), but could infact save your marriage.
