Atongo is a house boy who drinks his boss' wine with impunity then adds water to cover up his tracks. His boss became suspicious and decided to buy pasties (a French wine that changes color if you add water; just like dettol).
Unaware of this, Atongo drank from the wine as usual and topped it up with water. Immediately he added water, the pasties became milky and he knew he was in trouble. When the boss came back and saw the changed pasties, he knew he had nailed Atongo. Atongo knowing he was in trouble decided to stay in the kitchen when his boss came home. The boss having told his wife what he had observed now swung into action.
"Atongo!" he called from the living room.
"Yes, Boss".
"Who drank my pasties?".
Atongo: No answer.
The boss asked again: still no answer. Then the boss went to the kitchen to meet him there. "Are you insane or what? When I called, you said "yes boss" but when I asked a question you don't answer me?"
Atongo retorted, "Hmmm oga, when you are in the kitchen you don't understand anything at all, except your name".
"Is that so?" asked the boss. "Okay, go to the bar and stand beside Madam, while I go into the kitchen, and then, you ask me a question."
Atongo accepted.
When his boss was in the kitchen he shouts, "Boss".
"Yes, Atongo" the boss answers.
Atongo then asks, "Who goes into the maid's bedroom when Madam is not at home?"
No answer.
He shouted again: "Boss, I say who sneaks into the maid's room when Madam is not in the house?" No answer.
The boss runs back from the kitchen shouting, "Wonders shall never cease! Atongo, it is true. When you are in the kitchen, you do not hear anything, except one's name."
The wife now very angry, interrupted, "That's nonsense. It's a lie!"
Without argument, Atongo asked if she'll enter the magic kitchen to be tested. She agreed. Atongo asked Madam, "Who is junior's biological father? Me or the boss? "
Madam rushed out of the kitchen immediately. "This kitchen needs to be renovated...
