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
Three contractors are bidding to fix the fence at Jamaica House. One is from Montego Bay, another from Kingston and the third, from Mandeville.
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".
