Oh Gosh....is Friday! and the sun shining. Ah feeling happy. Mr. Julien, ah know you waiting for meh to buss out but ah hope you know ah looking for a counter attack! So anyway:
Big shot trini, Joe grew up in Barataria by Jumbee bridge, then went away to attend college and law school. He decided to come back to T&T because he feel he coulda be a BigShot at home. He really wanted to impress everyone. So he returned and opened his new
law office on St Vincent Street among the big sawatees.
The first day, he see ah man coming up the passageway. So he decided to create a big impression for this new prospective client when he arrived. As the man came to the door Joe grab 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 Supreme Court has agreed to hear that case next week. I'll be making the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide the necessary support."
He went on gallerying himself, "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 and quite unperturbed as Joe rattled instructions filled with endless legal jargon. 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, "Ah from TSTT, ah came to hook up yuh phone."

A man walked into a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in Trinidad and
"passed out" on the floor. People gathered around to help him by
fanning and doing everything they could to help him regain
consciousness.
Someone peeled an orange and started squeezing the juice into his
mouth, whereupon the man suddenly came back to life, pushed the person
away and yelled,
"if ah did want orange, ah woulda fall down in de market."

A Trini US Marine stationed in Iraq recently received a "Dear John" letter from his Trini girlfriend back in Brooklyn. It read as follows:
"Dear Leroy,

The Marine, with hurt feelings, asked his fellow Marines for any snapshots they could spare of their girlfriends, sisters, ex-girlfriends, nen-nens, cousins etc. In addition to the picture of Gwendolyn, Leroy included all the other pictures of the pretty girls he had collected from his pardners. There were 57 photos in that envelope.... along with this note:
"Dear Gwendolyn,
Ah rell sorry, buh ah cya remember yuh nuh. Please take yuh picture from de pile, and den send de rest back tuh me.
