I found these on YouTube today
Laugh with me, and watch some of the other skits by this British comedian.
Apparently, Nigerian traffic wardens in Britain speak in unnecessarily grand English while at work.

I don’t know why these videos rub me off the wrong way. Maybe it’s just me trying really hard not to laugh 🙂

I have a question. I am Ghanaian, but i’ve often heard my naija friends say “I laugh in Igbo”, or “I laugh in Ibibio” or “I laugh in Esan”…. I sort of get what it means….but what does it mean? What’s the origin?

Beside the joke in laughing in imagining what it is like to laugh a different language, I don’t think there’s anymore to it. It’s just like saying “I laugh in Swiss German.” Although I don’t know what that sounds like, the possibility already makes me smile.
