Pissing in a Bottle

It was a lovely Sunday Evening in Spring Valley.  It was 6.00 O'clock and Roger was sat on his veranda on a cane couch.  He watched the sun go down while listening to some country music in the background.  He was reading  the latest African Crime Thriller, Nairobi Heat by Mukoma Wa Ngugi.   He called out to his cook "Njenga, Njenga".  Njenga hurried to hear what Roger wanted him to do.  When he reached the doorway to the veranda Njenga answered back  "Sir, What can I do for you?"  "Please get me the bottle of Johnny Walker in the whisky cabinet and a glass", Roger replied..  Njenga went off to fetch the Johnny Walker and grabbed a glass from the next shelf and took it to Roger.  "Sir, Here is the Johnny Walker" and he put it on the brown antique stool by Roger's side. After Njenga left, Roger poured himself a drink and thought it tasted diluted.  He added some more and it tasted the same and assumed that he was mistaken.  He drank 3 shots slowly that evening and retired to bed early.

The following evening after dinner, Roger called Njenga and asked for his usual Johnny Walker.  He poured himself a shot as he usually did and downed it in one go.  He thought it tasted weaker that the day before.  He decided he was going to  have to figure out what was happening to his  favourite tipple.  The same thing happened for the rest of the week.  As he sat on his cane couch on Saturday, he got an idea.  He figured that Njenga had been treating himself to his favourite tipple.

That night after Njenga had gone to his servants Quarters, Roger got a plastic glass and urinated in it.  He then boiled some teabags to  give it colour and poured both the urine and weak black tea in the Johnny Walker bottle and put it in the whiskey cabinet as he normally would.

During the following week,  He decided to drink some famous Grouse that he had bought when he had visited London some months before.  Meanwhile Njenga kept helping himself to the doctored Johnny walker.

On Sunday Roger called Njenga and asked  him, "What happened to the Johnny Walker?  Njenga replied "I don't know what you mean, Sir".  Roger asked him again.  "Has anyone touched the Johnny Walker in the cabinet?"   "I don't know, Sir", replied Njenga.  Roger told him that he noticed that the drink was getting lighter and lighter the week before and Njenga still maintained that he did not know what had happened.  Roger told him that  he had poured Urine in the bottle to teach a lesson to the person that had been helping themselves to his Johnny Walker and that the person that had been drinking it had drank urine for a whole week.  Njenga excused himself and ran to the toilet to throw up and finally admitted he had been the one drinking the Johnny Walker.

The following week Njenga quit work.
