An old man traveled to London to visit his children.
One chilly day he decided to take a stroll down Oxford Street. Unfortunately while on his stroll it started raining quite heavily and he decided to take shelter under a store canopy.
While under the canopy, an Englishman who was passing by tried to be friendly to the old man shivering under the canopy.
Here's what happened.
Englishman: Cold ain't it?
Baba Agba: "Ori re ko da! Baba re lo ni shobu ni?
(Translation: " You must be sick in the head, is this your father's shop" ?)
Baba Agba said this because the way the Englishman spoke, he thought he had said "Kuro nihin"
(Translation: Get away from there!)
