Shit Ghanaian Bloke At Work Says

There’s a popular fan page on facebook called, Shit My Dad Says. It’s quotes what this bloke’s dad says. (didn’t really need to explain that but you know)

I was thinking that maybe I should start a page called, Shit That The Ghanaian Bloke At Work Says. I won't but I thought about it for two seconds.
He’s a very friendly guy about fifty who looks like Errol Brown out of the band Hot Chocolate.
And example from this week, about the couple at work who are expecting a kid:
Him: “Now everybody knows. Everybody knows that he is pregnant.
Me: What do you mean he is pregnant, how can he be pregnant?
Him: Yeah, he and she is pregnant.
Me: No she’s pregnant.
Him: No when a woman is pregnant then the man is pregnant too. He put it in her. You know, it takes two to tangle.
Me: You mean it takes two to tango.
Him: Yeah, it takes to tangle.

He’s very proud that he’s got British citizenship, as he told me while stood to attention with his chest pushed out. “I am British man. I have British passport. I sing to the Queen and I can bend down and she can hit me on each shoulder with her stick.”

After a recent altercation with a manager he comes over to me and says, “He is stupid he talks all jaba jaba jaba all the time. He thinks that he can get away with me because he thinks I am stupid African man. Well I’m not. I am British man.”

He’s lived in London for thirty years but his command of the English language sometimes suggests otherwise. To comic effect.
Him: Why do I always get these letters for E14? E14 The Arse Of Dogs, All The time.
Me: How do you pronounce it, the what of dogs?
Him: The Arse Of Dogs. All the time I get The Arse Of Dogs.
Me: You mean The Isle Of Dogs.
Him: Yeah, The Arse Of Dogs.
