So I’m sitting at JKIA before a long flight, I’m tired and I’m hungry. A random guy walks over, sits next to me, insists that I’m a hero and asks if I would honour him by taking a photo with him. Despite my tiredness and hunger I agree to the photo, mainly because this guy looked pretty desperate. It’s almost like he wants proof to show people that he did actually meet me. In his defence though the guy was good enough to give me a copy of the photo before he went off to train some kids or something.
(Slight disclaimer: The guy in the picture may have a slightly different version of the way things happened. But who are you going to believe? Me or the 200 metres and 400 metres world record holder?)

ROFL!! Mental, u should in fact become the representative of the Kenyan team to the next world cup… :-)
Now that’s a cool thing. When r u coming back? Have u already looked at our shopping lists? If i remember well, KM said something about handbags and shoes, ..while I would appreciate 3-4 “CA-42″ data caboools for those 6020 Nokias which are on sale in Nbo.
(seriously, they are selling these phones here + but no data cables).
but do you say. i like your way of bragging. for a moment i thot the guy in the pic really pestered you for it, then i viewed the pic and laughed my head off. you are lucky. my album only has the likes of bethuel kiplagat. but do i say?
Oh no you did’nt. Ten nil haki. You should write comedy…nice photo..damn I wish I was seated there between two celebs eh!

Did I tell you how I got one with Koffi Annan. Yes, I know he is not a celeb per se, but, ahem, he could not stop bugging me either!! What’s it with these commoners?

Uh, oh, and JKE said eti to go to Embu and eat goat fried in aluminium, so ebu, I’m forming committee. We are collecting “joining committee on planning trip” fee. Yeah, what I said! For you, good price.
Excellent photo! Michael Johnson is definitely one of the greatest athletes ever.
Since you graced him with your presence on those JKIA bucket seats, despite your busy schedule [insert MA's personal entourage here :)], I’m sure he begged to carry your luggage! I hope you tipped him well ;)
