It was a miserable hot day in Liberia, and two ladies were walking down the street.

One said to the other, “Eloise, honey, it so hot out here today. Why don’t we take off our panties so’s we be cool?”

Eloise said, “Oh, I don’t know Mary Jane. I be too embarrassed.”

So they walked on a bit further. Soon Mary Jane said, “Eloise, honey, I juss can’t stand dis heah heat. We jess gots to take off our panties so’s we be cool.”

And Eloise said, “Mary Jane, I juss can’t. I be too embarrassed.”

They continued on for a few more blocks, when suddenly Mary Jane stopped and pointed to the porch of a house. An enormous woman was sitting there with her skirt hiked up to her navel, wearing no panties, and eating a slice of watermelon.

“Look at dat. I bet she be cool.” Mary Jane continued. “Less go axe her.”

“Hey, big Mama, you sittin’ up dere on the porch of dis house, what wid yo skirt hiked up to yo navel, no panties on and eatin’ dat watermelon. Tell us, is you cool?”

Big Mama replied, “Honey chile. I don’t no nuffin’ ’bout being cool, but it sho do keep dem flies off my watermelon!”
