Liberia - Juju

Just about everyone here is more than a little superstitious. Taylor is a numerology freak (seven is his lucky number). Religion and mysticism blend perfectly as people assume that bullets will bounce off, witches cast spells and that devils walk the forests snatching small children (partly true). Human sacrifice and cannibalism are very real here, but not expected to emerge as the next fast food franchise concept. It is believed by some that eating an opponent's still-beating heart gives them strength. Numerous body parts were used as everything from sign posts to footballs during the last war. Hey, I'm not trying to gross you out, it's a dangerous place alright.

Please Laugh Generously

Taking a page out of Jeff Foxworthy, there seems to be a severe shortage of humor in Liberia as evidenced by the edited version of "You know you are Liberian if . . .

The fattest girl in school is always the best at knock foot.

You know how to open a can with a knife.

You know how to open a bottle with your teeth.

They call condensed milk white man snot (that's nasty!).

They sing hymns very loud and off key.

They call tooth picks "African dessert."

You ask them where they are going, they say, "Somewhere."

They brush their teeth with fire coal.
