That's me and my friend Henrik, who's a biochemist from Daneland (or, as the U.N. insists on calling it, Denmark). Henrik was my closest and constant companion during my historic Namibia-Botswana-Zimbabwe trip. Here, he's expressing his frustration with my existence by demonstrating how he'll throw me down a 80-meter dune if I don't stop telling terrible jokes. We're in Langstrand, Namibia, which is midway between Walvis Bay and Swakopmund. (Like that helps you.)
