HELL IN JAMAICA - HUMOR

A man dies and goes to hell. He discovers
that there are different Hells for each
country. First he goes to the German Hell
and asks what they do there. First, they put
you in an electric chair for an hour. Then
they lay you on a bed of nails for an hour.
Then the German Devil comes in and whips
you for the rest of the day. He doesn't like
this so he moves on.

He goes to the U.S. Hell, the Canadian Hell,
and the U.K. Hell, and discovers that they are
all the same. Finally, he comes across a very
long line of people waiting to get in and asks,
"Which Hell is this?" "Someone tells him, "Oh,
this is the Jamaican Hell."

What do they do in here?" He asks. "Well, first
they put you in an electric chair for an hour,
then they lay you on a bed of nails for an hour,
then the Jamaican Devil comes in and whips you
for the rest of the day!" "But that is just like all
the other Hells". The man said, "Why is the line
so long?" "Cause inna de Jamaican Hell, the
electricity always lock off, the electric chair naah
work, sumbady tief di nail dem,and di Jamaican
Devil a public servant, so he cum in an' punch him
time card, den go a Rum Bar fi play domino fi di
rest a di day!"

Nike for Roger Federer

As a token of appreciation for Roger Federer’s
amazing career success and his dominance of
men’s tennis, Nike is surprising him with a
luxury bespoke kit fit for a legend as he
seeks his fifth consecutive Wimbledon title.

The kit, which has echoes of tennis outfits
from the earliest days of the game, has been
customized specifically for Roger at a level of
quality that matches his championship talent;
a bespoke jacket, sweater, and warm-up
trousers for warm-up on court pre-game; a
luxury leather tennis bag , and an on-court
performance outfit. All of the product abides
by tournament’s strict white dress code, but
includes accents of majestic gold to honor of
the reigning king of the Wimbledon court.

USHER expecting his First Born

Usher has been spotted in public apparently
walking on cloud nine from the joy of the
anticipated birth of his first child with
Tameka Foster, his fiancée. At 28 years-old
the singing superstar seems to be just a baby
himself compared to Fosters 9 years and 3
children ahead of him. The baby, due in the
fall, will be Usher's first child and Foster's
fourth. The recently engaged couple
announced their expectations in a statement
to the AP Press, "we are extremely excited
at this point in our lives, planning our
wedding and the joy that comes with
expecting our first child together. We hope
people will be happy for us and respect our
privacy during this happy period in our lives."

A Jamaican Love Poem

You're the ackee in my saltfish
Condensed milk in my tea
The patty in my coco bread
Without you there is no me.

Just like coconut water
You're good for my heart
And Mr.Wray without his nephew
Is like when we are apart.

When you wrap your arms around me
Like banana leaf on blue draaws
There is nothing I wouldnt do for you
You know that im all yours.

I want to be with you always
Like when tin milk get short
An dem marry it with it to de mackerel
to make sure de mackerel get bought.

Like carrot juice on Sunday
Mango in the summertime
I cant get enough of you
Please tell me you will be mine.

Leroy's new trainers

Leroy from Port Antonio always wanted to look
cool. His friend told him that he needed a good
designer pair of trainers to go with his shell suit.

Leroy saved up all his pay slips and all the money
he got back from returning his empty bottles of
Red Stripe and finally managed to get himself a
pair of brilliant white trainers to go with his
shell suit.

Proudly, he strutted down the street calling out to
all the passers by "See mi new trainaz dem?
Cool, eeh?"

One fine upstanding gentleman pointed out that
they were indeed a fine pair of trainers, but was
young Leroy aware that he had a lace undone?

Leroy scornfully retorted that it was part of being
cool to have a trailing lace, and that on the bottom
of the trainer there were instructions for the wearer
to only have one lace tied.

When asked for proof of this instruction, Leroy took
off his trainer and held it upside down for the
disbeliever to read.

"Seet deer! It seh ...


TAIWAN."

Di Waiter, Spoon & String - HUMOR

We are a upper class Jamaican family, so last week,
in keeping with our status we took some friends
out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter
who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket.
It seemed a little strange, but I ignored it. However,
when the headwaiter brought out water and utensils,
I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket, then
I looked around the room and saw that all the staff had
spoons in their pockets.

When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked,
"Why the spoon?" "Well," he explained, "well sah, the
American restaurant owner dem recently hire some expert
an' dem lay dung procedure fi everyting whe wi duh.
Them look at di statistics an' find dat customers drop them
spoon 73.84 procent more orffen than any ada utensil sah,
whe dem call a "drop frequency" of 'bout 3 spoon ah table
ah hour.

So ef di waitah carry spoon, we can reduce the numbah ah
trips back to di kitchen and save 1.5 man-hours ah shift."

As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able
to replace it with his spare spoon. "Mi wi get a nex' spoon
next time mi go inna di kitchen instead ah mi fi mek ah extra
trip figo get it right now."

I was rather impressed.

The waiter served our main course and I continued to look
around. I then noticed that there was a very thin string
hanging out of the waiter's fly. Looking around, I noticed
that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their
flies. My curiosity got the better of me and before he walked
off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why
you have that string right there?"

"Yes sah!" he answered, lowering his voice.

"Nobaddy else eva notice di string! Di consulting firm mi tel
you bout, dem fine out sey wi can save some time inna di
restroom."

"How?" I asked.

"Yuh see," he continued, "by tying di string onto di tip of wi
you know what, we can pull it out over the toilet widout we
haffi touch it and that way we noh haffi wash wi hand, an
cut dung pon di time wi spen' inna di restroom
by 76.39 percent.">

"Okay, that makes sense," I responded. "But ... if the string
helps you get it out, how do you put it back in?"

"Well," he whispered, lowering his voice even further, "Mi
noh know 'bout dem ada one, but yu see mee sah...ah di
spoon me use ."

JAMACAIN BEGGAR - HUMOR

Every morning John would drive down Long
Lane. And almost every morning he would
stop and give the resident beggar $20.

After a while John started to give the beggar
$10. The Beggar, noticing that his money has
been reduced was not too pleased, but said
nothing.

After a while John started to give the Beggar
$5. The Beggar, noticing this further decrease
became noticeably upset and decided to speak
to John about it.

He stopped John one morning after accepting
the $5 and said, "What's happening man, yuh
used to give me $20, then you cut it down
to $10, and now this?

John replied, "Bwoy, times have been hard; my eldest boy just started University and my daughter is now at High School ... so you know how it goes ..."

The beggar looked at him with impatience and asked, "Exactly how many children do you have boss?"

"Four" replied John.

The now irate Beggar asked in a tone of disbelief, "So you mean to tell me that is out of my money yuh sending yuh children to school?"
