Presidential Poligamy

Today I went downtown to buy my plane ticket home (Aug 10!) and was riding in the car with Abdulaye, my super-grouchy driver, when a truck with a bunch of guys with guns rounded the corner. Abdulaye pulled over and stopped. Then another car of guys in red berets (the scary Presidential Guard) rounded the corner.... Then a few more cars.... and then the procession ended.

And Abdulaye turned to me and said, "President du la Republic". Oops. I didn't notice the guy.

Abdulaye reported that he was on his way from Wife #2s house. She is the smaller one. Wife #1 is apparently fat. And I didn't understand what he was staying about Wife #3. But all of this wife business in the American context is pretty funny after the Clinton scandal... Boy, the press would have a field day Georgie Porgie was spotted leaving Wife #2's house... Family values....
