Decades ago, age 20, I left job at midnight with some older collegues. We sat jostling in old minibus and listened to foreman's tiresome, funny short stories,all were too tired to smile. The last one pleasantry from him just reached my ears when I slammed the bus door and began walking home, which was a few blocks away. I began to reflect over the last words, and found them crazy, but hmmmm...funny. "Do you know why Namibian elephants have yellow matrix? No..you really don't?...It's said that nature has given them this to be invisible when they practice backstroke in vanilla cream.." I laughed high...at half past twelve in the night, I could..and I felt stimulated by this sudden euforia, and laughed until the echo resounded between the small houses. Why not, I was quite alone... It was dark, only a few lights along the road. Suddenly, a figure appears in front of me, a man with a dog. Didn't want to be interrogated about the mad laughing from someone at midnight, so I jumped!
  straight into the darkness a few yards from the road and hid behind a tree in the darkness, and breathed silently. The dog, however, sniffed in the air, and went mad, barked and pulled the man just up to my feet. The old man looked shocked, I had been painting and had a white overall. He stammered: "What, what, why do you stand there?"  And I had nothing better to say than: "Came to think of a funny story...".  In the next second the old man recognised me as the neighbour next door, and after that midnight meeting, he always had a suspicious look at me when we met...
