A little off topic for my usual tongue in cheek comments about male to female juxtapositions:
I just watched a documentary on the PBS network. It was about children being sold into slavery at the age of about 11 years old, for the sum of about $350 for the year of servitude they submit to.
But this post is not about that, it is about the words on the side of a bus that briefly appeared in the documentary. Now bear in mind I did not get a photo of it, so you will have to take my word for it, but I am trustworthy, right? I mean, brutal honesty is the whole point of this particular blog.
So, I was in stitches when I saw the name SHIT SHAKAR on the side of the bus. Now, if we anglicize that it becomes Shit Shaker. How appropriate for a Nepalese bus that travels on dirt roads. A journey on such a vehicle will surely cause the passengers to get the shit shaken out of them.
