Be careful where you eat. Humerous story from the early '90's when still at Safair was a certain well-known FO along with an FE were drinking in a pub and met a character who was in charge of the harbour. It was said that nothing passed through Luanda harbour without him getting his cut. Well, the pub was closing, so said individual invited the Safair buddies to his home to continue drinking and they decided to take him up on his offer. On arrival at the gentleman's abode they were barked at by a foxterrier tethered at the entrance. A few drinks later the gentleman excused himself whereupon the FO suggested to the FE they better leave before they get offered food. The FE agreed and they turned to go, only to meet the gentlemans wife beaming at them with a HUGE kebab on a plate in her hands! Not wanting to offend they ate the kebab and then left. As they walked out they noticed the foxterrier was no longer tethered where it had been!
