My favorite African story actually happened after I left the country. An American executive took a job over there, and on his very first day, the newspaper headlines read:
Three Headless Bodies Found.
The next day: Three Heads Found.
The third day: Heads Dont Match Bodies.
Three Headless Bodies Found.
The next day: Three Heads Found.
The third day: Heads Dont Match Bodies.
It is not easily forgotten, nor should it be.
