Know whom you’re getting into bed with

A man had travelled to another country when he received a call from his sister telling him their father had died. It was physically impossible for him to travel back home in time for the funeral, but he told his sister to take care of the arrangements and send him the bill.

When he got back home, he got a bill for several thousands of shillings, and paid. The following month, he got another bill for Sh5,000, which he paid. The next month, he got a similar bill. When he got another Sh5,000 bill the third month, he called his sister to ask what was going on.
