You know you've been in Africa too long when...

Stepping in the shade is equivalent to air conditioning.
You start rationing out your M&Ms to make them last longer.
You scoop the roach to the side of the plate and keep eating.
Roaches the size of your fist don't bother you any more.
You get tired of refusing marriage proposals from taxi drivers
and finally accept.
American food makes you sick.
The foam on the floor reminds you of a "real" mattress.
You save your Ramen for special occasions.
You only bother to swat the flies away from your eyes and mouth -
nothing else is really worth it.
The 5 second rule no longer applies because you eat on the floor.
You convince yourself that you only stepped in "mud."
You think you'd be more comfortable sleeping on the roof.
You recognize certain goats by their "voices."
You think nothing of discussing your stomach problems over dinner.
You shake your American friend's hands when you see them.
You bargain with God for water or electricity.
