Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million
special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the
office of the Lottery Corporation was open
on the following day, he was there to collect
his winnings.
Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to
the clerk and in his best English uttered his
request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars,
si me ticket ya".
After reviewing and checking the ticket with his
manager, the clerk returned and requested on
how he would like his payments. The Jamaican
replied, "Mi wan all a de money now".
"Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded,
"The procedures are that we can only give you one
million now and the balance equally over the next
20 years".
Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the
manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct,
it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially
pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid
to you equally over the next 20 years".
Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk
and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a
de money now or oonu gi me bak me dallar!!"
