============================================================
Once he was driving from Nyarombo to Tarime Parish in
Musoma Diocese. He agreed to take passengers in his pick-up truck, but only
those going all the way to Tarime. He emphasized: "No intermediate stops!" At
Sokorabolo marketplace, the riders in the back banged on the roof of the truck’s
cabin, gesturing vigorously, but Joe refused to stop. After arriving in Tarime
he asked the passengers why they banged on the cabin 15 miles back when they
knew he had said "No stops." "We didn’t want to get out, they answered, "we just
wanted to tell you that your spare tire fell off."
