HEARD OF DYNAMITE?│Banji Odurombi

When my good friend asked me to write on his blog, I never did consider it a difficult task but what was more difficult for me was what was going to be my first. People usually talk of their first ‘date’, ‘kiss’, ‘car’, ‘phone’,… I leave you to supply the other firsts. Of all that struggled for relevance, I finally arrived that this should be my first.
A story was once told of a man who had planned to go on vacation with his wife but unfortunately the wife couldn’t make the trip probably because she had to urgently attend to some other things, leaving the man to go on the vacation alone. In the euphoria of the vacation, the man decided to send a telegram to his wife. He approached the telegrapher at the reception and dictated the following words to the telegrapher: "Having a nice time wish you were here". But the telegrapher typed and sent: "Having a nice time wish you were her", omitting the last letter in the sentence ‘e’ and by implication giving the sentence another meaning entirely. Can you imagine the havoc this could wreak on their marriage?

Little wonder the preacher ‘preached’ “Take up the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vine: for our vines have tender grapes”
