Eskom Joke


In South Africa, the "word" ..."eish"...means a lot of things....in any situation it means something different...it all depends on what you say, how you say it......it's almost like an exclamation...but it says a lot more than that and only South Africans know what it means....In this joke, (Eskom/Escom...is the electricity company in SA)...they joke about the power failures...first black people used it ...e.g. eish the weather is cold...or eish....the food is expensive...or eish...you look beautiful...etc. and now everyone is using it...if you hear the word "eish"...in any other country...that is for sure a South African! ---hope you could see the "eish" in "Eishkom"...:))
