I don't see it, but the 2nd pic there is missing the word MIST.

I had never seen this before so I was unaware that it was not complete. Google shows a zillion hits for the complete set, like here:

It may not be known to westerners, but Africa does not lack a sense of humour. At least in some of its countries. Some good examples may be found in social media comments after some Ghanaian national team football player screws up. Or sometimes even if he doesn't.

Following are four Ghanaian idioms that I find particularly amusing. All are nouns:

Kwakwe (mouse) last stop mousetrap
Sister (or Brother) thank you a hand-me-down
African A/C hand held paper fan
Bend down boutique Clothes for sale, spread on the market floor

We have "bend down" shops here in Colombia, too. They're called "Agáchese".

Mist is manure in German, so it took me a while.

But let's not ignore the last image, where the doggie is so happy with himself, having told such a clever joke.

I knew about the German meaning of "mist." It was a famous mistake by Rolls Royce, naming a new model decades back "The Silver Mist." They had to change it to make sales in Germany.

The same thing happened to the Mitsubishi "Pajero", which means "******" in Spanish.
