A
story is told of a man who played a prank on some lady. At night, the lady sure
that the man was dead asleep, took all the man’s money from his pockets and
stashed the money into her handbag. But later in the night, the man woke up and
took all the money from the lady’s handbag including that of the woman and hid
it under the carpet. The woman made off in the morning thinking she had made a
killing but the man had had “the last laugh”. Such and many others are the kind
of humorous tales that Tumusiime Rushedge also known as Old Fox told in his
weekly column in the Sunday Vision back in the day. I never grew up reading his
column. I actually started reading his column after his death when the most
interesting of his stories were being re-run in honour of the contributions he
had always made to the paper.
