U for Euphemism: A Collection of Funny yet Profound Aphorisms
“Life would not seem short if we valued time as much as we value money.”
“Some people have compassion for even strangers, but not for their own bodies.”
“You need brains to be a great president, not to be a president.”
“Whenever He answers prayers, God usually prioritizes those by people who, instead of their mouths, have prayed or are praying with their hands and/or feet.”
“It takes courage to stand up for what you believe in, and stupidity to kill for it.”
AND 300+ OTHER APHORISMS

Mokokoma is a rare breed. Although most of his sentences leave one with the painful task of thinking, and many of them show or remind us that we human beings are not as smart and not as important to existence as we think we are, you are way more likely to come across, in a daytime, many readers who like him, than you are to come across, in your lifetime, a few writers who are like him.
He writes as if he were on a mission to bed a woman or women who only sleep with men who are not only hilarious but also thought-provoking.
Mokokoma is a keen observer, an insightful and original thinker, and a wordsmith and a satirist of note. Many of his sentences are each way more intellectually rewarding than not a few collections of a thousand randomly selected books.
