Big Shot Jamaican - Humor

Joe grew up in Jamaica, then moved away to
attend college and law school.

He decided to come back to Jamaica because
he felt he could be a Big Shot at home. He
really wanted to impress everyone. So he
returned and opened his new law office in
New Kingston.

The first day, he saw a man coming up the
passageway. He decided to make a big impression
on this potential client when he arrived. As the
man came to the door Joe picked up the phone.
He motioned the man in, all the while talking. "No.
Absolutely not. You tell those clowns in New York
that I won't settle this case for less than one million.
Yes, the Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case
next week. I'll be handling the primary argument
and the other members of my team will provide
support. Okay, tell the DA that I'll meet with him
next week to discuss the details."

The "conversation" went on for almost five minutes.
All the while the man sat patiently as Joe rattled off
instructions. Finally, Joe put down the phone and
turned to the man, "I'm sorry for the delay but as
you can see, I'm very busy. What can I do for you?"
The man replied, "I'm from Cable & Wireless, the
telephone company, I come to hook up your phone."
