Minding my own business in Jamaica
How I learned to mind my own business: I was walking past Ward 21 the other day & all the patients were outside shouting, '13....13....13.' The fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap in the fencing so I looked through to see what was going on AND somebody poked me in the eye with a stick!!! Then they all started shouting '14....14....14'...

HowJamaican Contracts are Issued
They go with an official from Jamaica House, to examine the fence.
The Mo-Bay contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil. "Well,"he says. "De job gwine run yuh 'bout $900: $400 fi material, $400 fi my crew an' $100 profit fi me."
The Mandeville contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, "I can do dis job fi $700; $300 fi material, $300 fi my crew and $100 profit fi Mass Me."
The Kingston contractor doesn't measure or figure, but leans over to the Jamaica House official and whispers: "$2,700."
The official, incredulous, observes: "Yuh didn't even tek measurement like de addah contractah dem! Weh yuh get such a high figgah?"
"Easy man," the Kingstonian explains, "Look yah! $1,000 fi you, $1,000 fi me an' we hire de breddah from Mandeville".

Leroy's hearing
A preacher said: "Anyone with 'special needs' who wants to be prayed
over, please come forward to the front by the altar."
Leroy got in line and when it was his turn, the Preacher asked,
"Leroy, what do you want me to pray about for you?"
Leroy replied: "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."
The preacher put one finger of one hand in Leroy's ear, placed his other hand on top of Leroy's head, and then prayed and prayed and prayed for Leroy, and the whole congregation joined in with great enthusiasm.
After a few minutes, the preacher removed his hands, stood back and asked: "Leroy, how is your hearing now?"
Leroy answered: "I don't know. My hearing ain't 'til next week."

Jamaican Badman
They haven't eaten for days and are starving.
They see a tree in the distance, and as they get nearer,they notice it is draped with rashers of bacon; smoked bacon, crispy bacon, boiled bacon, bacon bits, grilled bacon, jerk bacon, Canadian bacon, all sorts of bacon.
"Look deh ! ",says the first badman, " a bacon tree to rahtid ! And we ah dead fe hungry from Dudus gone? "
Salivating, he desperately runs up to the tree .
As he gets close, he's gunned down by a hail of bullets from every angle.
His friend shouts, "wha 'appen? wha 'appen?
The first badman replies, " rass claat, dis a nuh bacon tree, is a 'ham-bush'!

Why Men Wear Earrings
A man is at work one day when he notices that his Jamaican co-worker is wearing an earring.
The man knows his Jamaican co-worker to be a normally conservative fellow, and is curious about his sudden change in "fashion sense"
The man walks up to him and says, "I didn't know you were into earrings."
"Don't make such a big deal, it's only an earring," he replies sheepishly.
His friend falls silent for a few minutes, but then his curiosity prods him to ask, "So, how long have you been wearing one?"
"Ever since my wife found it in my car."
(I always wondered how this trend got started)

The Jamaican and the lawyer
The lawyer is thinking that Jamaicans are so dumb that he could get one over on them easily.
So the lawyer asks if the Jamaican would like to play a fun game.
The Jamaican is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists saying that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5. Then you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says. This catches the Jamaican's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game.
The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from the Earth to the Moon?'
The Jamaican doesn't say a word, but reaches into his pocket, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now it's the Jamaican's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?'
The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net.
He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows; all to no avail. After an hour of searching, he finally gives up.
He wakes the Jamaican and hands him $500.
The Jamaican pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep.
The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Jamaican up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?'
The Jamaican reaches into his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.

Daddy, how was I born?

The father answers,
'Well, son, I guess one day
you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and
I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo.
Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom
and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into
a secluded room, and googled each other.
There your mother agreed to a download from
my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload,
we discovered that neither one of us had used a

The word they were given was “Timbuktu”.
First to recite his poem was the Yale graduate. He stepped to the microphone and said:
“Slowly across the desert sand,
trecked a lonely caravan;
Men on camels…two by two;
their destination? Timbuktu."
A big applause went up! No way could the Rasta man top that, they thought.
The Rasta man calmly made his way to the microphone and recited:
“Me and Tim, went on de road,
three thief stop wi, an want wi load.
They were three, and we were two…
So I bucked one and Tim-buk-tu .
The crowd went wild!! The Rasta man won. Of course!!

The Jamaican Boy and the Elevator
The boy asked, "What is that, daddy?"
The father (never having seen an elevator) responded, "Son, I have never seen anything like this in my life. I don't know what it is."
"Could it be a time machine?" asked the boy. “I read about in this book once where people leave the earth in shiny vehicles.”
"Praise the Lord", said the father. "There sure are miraculous things in the city."
While the boy and his father were watching with amazement, an old lady in a wheel chair rolled up to the moving walls and pressed a button. The walls opened and the lady rolled between them into a small room. The walls closed, and the boy and his father watched the small circular numbers above the walls light up. They continued to watch until the last number was reached, and then the numbers began to light in the reverse order.
Finally, the walls opened again and a gorgeous 24-year-old woman stepped out. The father, not taking his eyes off the young woman, said quietly to his son, "Go get your mother."

A man in a hot air balloon, realizing he was lost, reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended further and shouted to the lady "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am"
The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."
"You must be a technician," said the balloonist.
"Actually I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct but I've no idea what to make of your information and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in Management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault...

As any true gentleman/lady will tell you, good table manners are an essential part of fluid and enjoyable social interaction. What actually constitutes good table manners, however, will vary widely from place to place. In an effort to identify what is considered good dining etiquette in Jamaica, ThingsJamaicansLove.com recently conducted a month-long undercover study at dozens of Jamaican restaurants, eateries and cookshops. Having carefully analysed and collated the data collected we now present to you what we learnt about how one should conduct oneself when dining in Jamaica:
1. On entering the restaurant/cookshop loudly announce your presence by shouting “Serve here!”
2. Do not wait to be seated. Simply plop yourself down at the nearest available table.
3. Grill your waiter on the menu items and their accompaniments. E.g.“Is local goat or imported mutton? Mi only eat local rammy yuh know.”
“What yuh serve wid di tripe? Rice an peas? Plain rice? Food?
“ Is nuff food yuh get?”
“So I can get curry goat gravy wid di the fry chicken?”
“Is why yuh face screw up so? Yuh work inna restaurant, so mi know seh yuh nuh hungry.”
4. Place the most complicated order you can devise. e.g. “Beg yuh a large food. Having. Half an’ half ox tail an’ fry chicken. Rice an’ peas an’ ‘food’. No boil yam. Banana, sweet potato an’ dasheen only. No gravy on di rice. Stew beef gravy on di fry chicken. Likkle raw veg on di side. Don’t mek the rice touch the meat or the ‘food’ touch the gravy. An' hurry up wid it!”
5. Despite the complexity of the order and the surly tone in which it was placed you should pull your waiter aside and quietly whisper to him that you would appreciate “a likkle taste of the cow foot as brawta”.
6. When your order is brought to you, hold your hand a few inches above the plate to test the warmth of your meal. Complain noisily that the food “cold like Alaska”. Insist that it be reheated.
7. When the reheated food is brought back to your table complain that it does not have nearly enough pepper.
8. Insist that a bottle of Grace Hot Sauce, Pickapeppa Sauce or a side plate with some sliced up bird pepper be brought immediately.
9. Apply pepper to food liberally.
10. Complain that there’s not enough gravy on your food. Enquire whether you are expected to “choke to death on di food?” Send plate away for additional gravy.
11. Complain that you wanted the additional gravy on the meat, not the rice. Send it back again.
12. Cease all conversation as you begin to eat.
13. Pretend not to hear as one of your dining companions mutters a few words of grace before eating.
14. Once silence has been achieved, attack your food like you would a hostile and deadly combatant.
15. Hiss your teeth and shoot dirty looks at persons who attempt to make polite conversation about sports/weather/government’s latest tax package during the meal.
16. As you assault your meal, the only sounds should be that off smacking lips, knives and forks clanking on plates and the occasional “Beg yuh pass di peppa”
17. Mix meat, rice, ground provisions and gravy into a steaming, soggy mountain in the middle of your plate.
18. Heap enormous, steaming mouthfuls of food into your gaping maw.
19. As your bredrin enters the restaurant, greet him at the top of your voice, ensuring that every single person in the establishment is alerted to his presence, and with hands outstretched exclaim: “Weh yuh a seh Money! Long time!”
20. Once the pleasantries have been concluded return immediately to your meal.
21. Pause chewing only briefly to wash down gigantic mouthfuls of victuals with a sip of your lemonade/coconut water/red stripe.
22. Apply more pepper to food.
23. Clean your plate thoroughly. Place any errant grains of rice in your mouth using your fingers.
24. Chew chicken bones into a fine grainy pulp vaguely resembling caviar. Leave in small mounds at the side of your plate.
25. Suck ox-tail bones noisily until all traces of meat and gravy have been removed therefrom.
26. Request an additional boiled dumpling/slice of yam/scoop of rice to “soak up di res’ ah di gravy”
27. Lick fingers vigorously to remove all traces of gravy.
28. Request a rock cake, slice of sweet potato pudding or slice of cornmeal pudding for dessert.
29. It appears from our research that belching exhibits appreciation for the meal. As such, please feel free to loudly and frequently demonstrate that appreciation.
30. If your waitress is female and even remotely attractive, feel free to invent terms of endearment for her (e.g. “Fatty”, “Love Sponge”, “Suga belly”). Ask her repeatedly for her telephone number and address.
31. Request a tooth-pick. Suck teeth while busily digging away at your gums with said toothpick. Ensure tooth-pick remains in your mouth for at least an hour but it is quite acceptable for it to remain for the rest of the day.”
32. Loosen belt. Rub stomach with pleasure. Lean back in your chair.
33. Agree with your companions that “di food here really eat good”.
34. Compare the high quality of the cooking to that of your late, dearly-beloved Grandmother Iris.
35. Disguise your contentment as you complain bitterly and loudly about the excessive bill.
36. Resolutely maintain that a better-tasting meal can be had at the restaurant across the road for half the price.
37. Tip sparingly, if at all, as you slowly leave establishment.
