The Story Of Opare

[Kire]

Grew up in Accra.

Went to law school in London.

After his studies he decided to go back to Accra, because he could be a big man in there.
Charle!

There he opened his new law office on Ring Road.

The first day, he saw a man coming up the sidewalk and decided to make a big impression.

As the man came to the door, Opare pretended to be on the phone and motioned the man to take a seat.

Opare said into the phone: "No Tony, No way. No and Absolutely no.

You tell those guys down in New York that I am not flying all that way to that side, to settle the case for less than a million bucks.

Pretending to hear a response, Opare continued...

"Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear the case next week.

"I'll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team will conduct the defense and! handle the prosecution.

"Okay. Give the State Prosecutor my regards and the other members of the jury" To wrap things up he added...

"Okay bye, keep in touch Tony and thank you very
much!"

Meanwhile...

The visitor sat patiently as Opare rattled final instructions in Queen's English into the telephone handset.

Finally, Opare put down the telephone and said: "I'm sorry for the delay sir, but as you can see, I'm a very busy person. What can I do for you?"

The man said: "I'm from Ghana Telecom. I've come to disconnect your phone."

Much funnier that way.
