Please join us for a joke told in Kru, a language spoken by Kru people in southwestern Côte
d’Ivoire and southern Liberia, entitled “Tire Expert.”
A kind-hearted motorist saw a man struggling to change a tire alongside the highway. His
face was dirty, tie undone, and obviously he had also wiped his hands on his once-white
shirt. Close to him stood a slight woman, immaculately neat, and arguing with him. “Look,
friend,” said the kind-hearted motorist, “I’ve changed a lot of tires. Is there
anything I can do to help?” “There sure is,” replied the man with the tire tool.
“My wife is an expert too. If you will just do all the arguing with her about how this
tire ought to be changed, I can concentrate on the dirty work and get the job done.”
