For people as "dhibaatto" prone as we are , we tend to laugh Supera lot .

There is the story when the sayid M. A. Hassan fought the British that a wounded Somali staggered into the british held city of Hargeisa from a battle near by. He had a bullet wounds in his legs and spear in his stomach. The doctors examined him and decided that his legs needed urgent attention because it was going gangrenous and pronouced they would operate on his legs first. 'NO, No, no' said the man, fix my stomach first. Waanka qosli karilaa ahey 'It hurts when I laugh'

That was a paragraph in Africa: Altered States, Ordinary Miracles by Richard Dowden. James Fergusson in the World's most dangerous place, cites that too.








If you want to read about somali pride read Richard Button (some of what he says is pure racism but there are some bullseye observatios)
