A friend of mine haD his birthday around 10 bays back. As a result of that
me and a bunch of friends got pretty wasted by around 11.30 in the
evening.

So we are making our way back home and driving through one of the
major streets in downtown nairobi, which at night happens to be crawling
with hookers.  One of my friends is a confectionery importer, had given
a big carton of lollilops as a birthday present (some awful indonisian
brand called "lucky licks") ...
I know, we give each other really crap presents !

The birthday boy suddenly shouted at me to stop (I was the least
inebriated,
so was on driving duty...).  I thought he wanted to take a puke, so i
stopped.
This guy gets  outta  the car with the carton of lollipops and for some
reason
starts distributing lollipops to all the hookers (and shouting : "lucky
licks !
its my birthday" , at the same time...)  To give him some moral support all
of us guys got out of the car and started helping him distribute it...
The next moment, we see a bunch hookers from all corners of the street
coming running towards us....so we jump  into the car and and get way,
burning rubber and all (Ok thats an exaggeration... you cant really do that
in
an overloaded peugeot 504, but yu get the idea..) Sadly, in the melee we
had to abandon the carton of lollipops.

(later, i was told some of the hookers probably mistook us for missionaries
or
someone like that,apparently there are some groups who stake-out these
hookers trying to obstruct them from executing their duties...!)

Unfortunately, the couple of girls who were in our group on that day,
havent
spoken to any of us/dont answer our phone calls  since then....though
strictly speaking we did not do anything nasty.(...I know of some f***d-up
high school/college kids here who do drive-by egg/tomato/water-pistol
attacks on hookers....)
