Jannie and Sannie stay on a farm in ve Free State..
One day Jannie sees Sannie going into haar room wif a big magazine. After a while, she come out and say she are going to ve post office, inna dorp.
A few weeks later, there are a knock by ve voor deur, and Sannie runs to the front door, and there are the postbode, with a registered parcel. Sannie signs very quickly, runs to her bedroom and locks the door. After a short while, she comes out, looking very much the same as when she went in. Unsure of himself, Jannie demands to know what she got in that parcel. When Sannie doesnt offer any information, Jannie pulls the age old, and threatens to go to Pa. Sannie relents, and lifts up the front of her dress.. Jannie takes one look, and passes out in the passage.. By this time, Pa has heard all this commotion, and ambles down the passage, and sees Jannie lying on the floor, and he also wants to know what is going on. Sannie ends up by lifting the front of her dress, and the Pa takes one look and also feints.
By this time Ma is wondering where everyone is, and takes a walk through the house, where she comes across this impossible scene - Pa and Jannie lying on the floor, out for the count, and Sannie standing looking in disbelief at these two. so, the inevitable - Ma wants to know what is going on.
Sannie says "I bought a suspender belt through the mail order catalogue, and it arrived today, so I put it on". So Ma says to her - "come, show me this suspender belt". With that, Sannie lifts up the front of her dress, and there is sharp exhalation of breath from Ma, with a "My jina Sannie - those clips is for the tops of your pantyhose - not your lips!"..
