Ali Mudde, a Ugandan cuckhold was given a head’s up that his pal Bryan Masaba was trimming Mrs Mudde’s hedges a little too closely. It doesn’t seem like much a of a surprise when you consider Bryan and the missus were caught playing trains and tunnels with their pants down in bushes by some villagers.
Happening in Musoma Village, Uganda, the sexcapade led to a bit of trouble between the two friends, so Ali, struggling with his wife’s off-side slap and tickle, took the matter to the village’s committee, as you do.
“Um, yes, hello, it’s Ali, for the record? Oh yes, A-L-I, yes, thank you for seeing me on such short notice, I was wondering if you could help me with this, um, little thing I’ve got going on?”
The chairperson, Mr. Peter Balikowa, of the village council wisely turned the elders and asked them to consider the case before violence erupted. Understandably, the village court formed to address the matter took some time to consider the delicate matter before them.
At first Pete asked Bryan’s wife if she was down with adding a sister-wife to the mix. Having watched too much Discovery channel mayhem that comes with a sister-wife, she strenuously refused the proposal.
She further stated she would rather ditch Bryan and become Ali’s wife before she’d bunk with hubby’s side-chick.
Pete, figured if Sister Wives wasn’t an acceptable legal precedent, he turned to Wife Swap.
“Damn! Are you dudes down with a total wife swapsies no takebacksies?”
Ali responded promptly, “sha your honor! I’ve been wanting to hit Bryan’s old lady since like five-eva!”
Bryan was also satisfied with the trade addressing the court, “I do not have any objection to the resolution passed by this honorable court and I am more than ready to hand over my wife…”
And with that, Pete banged his gavel and declared the swap a done deal!
Of the villagers who tore the lid of the bush league scandal? They were awe-struck with how cool the four of them seemed to be with the court’s decision.
Although a truly bazaar story out of Africa, I’m not wondering if they aren’t on to something. Nothing spices up the love life like a bit of variety, so why not try a swap instead of beating around the bushes, nude, with your bestie’s wife?
In the west we tend not to use our elders and peers for much, but perhaps we should. I’m not totally comfortable with the men being asked to decide the fates of the women, but at least Pete asked what Bryan’s wife thought. And while the article attributed the wife swap idea to Pete, who’d he really get the idea from?
So, as unorthodox as the solution was, it was nice to read a story where a woman was able to give an opinion and given an option, rather than one where a woman died because of cheating.
If only we could be so civil.
