Only A Jamaican...
There were three men from the Caribbean living together in London; a Trinidadian, a Barbadian and a
Jamaican who were all starving because they didn't have money to buy food. However, upon coming close to a
posh restaurant they came up with a plan. The Trinidadian went in first. After being seated he ordered a three
course meal with white wine. When he had finished the meal the waiter came by with the cheque. "But I paid
you!" the Trinidadian shouted. The waiter was very confused as he could not remember being paid, but as he did
not want to cause any trouble...he let the Trini leave.
Five minutes later the Barbadian walked into the restaurant and ordered a five course meal with red
wine. When he was finished eating, the waiter came by to collect the money for food. "But I paid you!" The
Barbadian shouted. This time the manager came and had to calm down the Bajan, and as he did not want
anything to upset the other customers he let the Bajan go.
Ten minutes later the Jamaican walked in, sat down, lit a cigarette, and ordered the most expensive meal on the
menu plus two Red Stripe beers. After he had finished, the waiter came to collect the money for the meal and
before asking for it, the waiter said, "Sir... I have been having a sort of problem all day and I can't understand it.
Other people like you came in earlier and ate and they said that they paid me but I don't remember getting any
money from them, so........ Before he could finish, the Jamaican chimed in loudly "Hear mi nuh boss, that ah fi yu
problem...jus gimme mi change!"
Perfume - Barbados
An elderly Bajan lady is in an elevator in a high rise apartment building in New York, going to visit some
relatives.
A beautiful young white woman gets in smelling like very expensive perfume. She turns up her nose at the
old woman and says arrogantly, "Giorgio, Beverly Hills, $120.00 an ounce."
The elderly lady with a deadpan expression says nothing.
Another young and beautiful woman smelling expensive, enters the lift, turns, looks down her long pointed
nose at the old lady and says "Chanel No.5, Paris, $200.00 an ounce."
The lift is now filled with the aroma of the magnificent scents of the
combined perfumes.
One floor later, as the Bajan lady approaches her destination, she quietly
eases out a long silent burst of gas, which quickly overpowers the combined expensive perfumes and leaves
the two women with water in their eyes.
As she steps out of the elevator, she turns and says "Breadfruit, Barbados, 36 cents a pound.“
