the return of the big black guy.

Posted on 27/07/200928/11/2013

i’ve written about my drug dealer; ‘big black guy’ before, but being a laggard i don’t know how to link you to that post, so if you want to read it you’ll have to scroll back to the beginning to check it out. (‘my branded life’ maybe you can show me how to do this some time? thanks techno savvy chick.)

as i mentioned in that earlier post, guy sends out a direct marketing sms to all his favourite clients every friday afternoon, to alert us to any weekend special offers he may have going on.

but i haven’t heard from guy for a couple of fridays, so i just assumed he was in jail or at a drug dealer conference at the CTICC.

so i was relieved to hear from him again this last friday, in the form of one of his legendary smses:

‘Big appologies to all my lvly clients.i travelled to southpolo ‘brazil’ for 3wks. just gt bk yesterday n i came bk with alot of good stuffs. pls call me n enjoy your lvly weekend.’

i scratched my head.

do you think by south polo he means ‘sao paulo’? yes i think so.
or did he go to the south pole? not quite sure what kind of business he has there, although there must be lots of snow, and coke is often referred to as snow… maybe he got confused?

i would imagine a big black nigerian drug dealer returning to cape town from sao paulo might raise a couple of eyebrows at customs. i’m glad he’s back in one piece.
