Stuck in the Kalahari with Nowhere to "go"

George was ferried by plane to an airstrip in the Kalahari Desert to transport a different plane back to Maun. However he had to wait three hours on the ground in the middle of the Kalahari for said plane. George being the forward thinking guy that he is, decided to pack some biltong and mango roll snacks.

He neglected to think of a situation where he would have to "go", presuming that the five star accommodation would have facilities at the airstrip. This situation crept up on him in the second hour and that's when he decided to make the 1km walk up and down the airstrip looking for some sort of facilities, clenching the entire way.

Needless to say, there were none. As he was walking back to one of the parked aircraft, the mango roll came to haunt him and he had to bolt into the bushes. Looking around at the acacia trees as a toilet paper alternative, he decided against it.

He emerged from the bushes, professional pilot up top and no pants party down below. He made his way down the airstrip to a parked aircraft, dangly bits flowing in the wind. Rummaging through the aircraft he managed to find a bottle of water and an oil rag.


Repanted and refreshed, George was faced with the issue of disposing of the oil rag. Disposing of it in a protected game reserve would just be irresponsible,so he tied it to the inside of the fire extinguisher shelter, to be collected another a day.

Soooo this is a blog and not a porn site, so for all the perverts out there, it's time to make like a donkey dick aaaaaaaand hit the road, as someone from Botswana would say. My name is Pat but I go by many a name such as P dizzle (gangster name), Pat me groin (Scottish /I'm not too sure name), Patches O'hoolahan (dodgeball name), Patrice(when I'm dressed in ladies clothes name, wait , maybe that's not the best thing to put out there on the Internet) and Veej(family name). The list goes on but I won't bore you with more names and my weird dressing habits. I fly planes in the land of donkeys and cows, Botswana. Which is why I have started a blog as I'm sure there will be some memorable moments. So here's a quick story about a mate of mine. Let's call him George. George is a pilot and was doing an hour and a half flight from the Linyanti to a place called Kasane(See very detailed map below). On this flight his stomach started to give him signals that ...

Maun Magic 40

Soooo again this is not a porn site and no I do not want to make a naked video of me doing inappropriate things in a plane (yes, there was a request from someone - some freaky people out there!) So after purchasing my first ever motorbike, Matilda, and having a few lessons in my driveway, I have finally been set free onto the main road which has made me realize a few things about driving and riding in Maun: 1. Anywhere and everywhere, the Maun Magic 40 is applied (40km/h). This is either due to the cars not actually been able to go faster or people not knowing they have a third gear. 2. Before indicating, you must come to a complete stop, turn in the opposite direction to which you want to turn and then indicate. (Not so much fun for a learner bike rider as I tend to stall when I slow down). 3. Warthogs,donkeys and cows are secretly employed by the traffic department to jump into the middle of the road to test your driving ability and if you hit them during the day, it's your faul...
