Elo ni jale?

For those that are not Yoruba, this simply means "what's the final price on this item?" (after a personal discount). So, depending on your hustle, you can get the item for a fifth of the original price mentioned after asking "elo ni jale?"

I was just thinking...wouldn't it be super-cool if you could ask that question in any/every scenario in life? For example take the following:

  1. Your professor (or boss if you're out working already) asks you to get some project done before you go on vacay and because you're trying to do the least possible work, you ask - elo ni jale?
  2. You're just starting your job and they say you need to go through a 2yr program to start off, before you get any sort of promotion and you ask - elo ni jale?
  3. You start a program in school and they say you need certain courses before you can graduate and you ask - elo ni jale?
  4. Your doc tells you to take a certain number of pills every couple of hours in order to get better and you ask - elo ni jale?
  5. Your husband/wife tells you they want a certain number of kids and you ask - elo ni jale?

...always trying to get as little as possible done! Yes, I'm random and these are my monday morning thoughts!

Have a nice day :)
