10 Bottles of Vodka

Lucky you, you get two fun posts in a row.

Our Wolof teacher, though he is Muslim and does not drink, likes to use bottles of vodka for everything. If you ask a question, he'll say you owe him 2 bottles of vodka. More often, he goes straight to 10. If he asks what someone in a picture drank for breakfast, it was 10 bottles of vodka. Today, we were on the ball, and he guessed it was because we had 10 bottles of vodka this morning. He said he'd have to try that tomorrow. This is highly entertaining because of who he is, and also because of who we are. The five girls from Beloit probably wouldn't even know what to do with 10 bottles of vodka.

We've decided that on our last day, we're going to get an empty bottle, fill it with water, and label it "vodka" just for him.
