Clancy Eccles
Today Jamaica layed to rest one of its 'ordinary, great' men. How can he be ordinary and great at the same time, you ask? Well for those of us who knew Clancy, I'm sure you understand exactly what I mean.
Clancy was an entertainer, who gave us such hits as 'Freedom' and 'Hit them with Jamal'. He was very passionate about his music however he also had a great passion to help young people. He didn't have much but he was not afraid to get involved and stand up for what he believed in. He helped to organize the youths in his area in sports and music.
Some people might also label Clancy as an activist, and I say that in a good way. He had the ear of politicians and was not afraid to point out the good and the bad that they did. Jamaica was the land he loved and although he was not in the spotlight he didn't mind working behind the scenes for its good.
Clancy was a family man, however his family extended beyond his children. His home was a gathering place for the young and the young at heart.
So yes Clancy was and ordinary Jamaican man but in his own way he was a great Jamaican man.
Nuff Love

The Small Sandal Shop
A married couple was on holiday in Jamaica. They were touring around the marketplace looking at the goods when they passed this small sandal shop.
From inside they heard the shopkeeper with a Jamaican accent say, "You!
Foreigners! Come in, come into my humble shop."
So the married couple walked in.
The Jamaican said to them, "I have some special sandals I think you would be interested in. They make you wild at sex."
Well, the wife was really interested in buying the sandals after what the man claimed, but her husband felt he really didn't need them, being the sex god he was.
The husband asked the man, "How could sandals make you into a sex freak?"
The Jamaican replied, "Just try them on."
Well, the husband, after some badgering from his wife, finally gave in, and tried them on. As soon as he slipped them onto his feet, he got this wild look in his eyes, something his wife hadn't seen in many years!
In the blink of an eye, the husband grabbed the Jamaican, bent him
violently over a table, yanked down his pants, ripped down his own pants,and grabbed a firm hold of the Jamaican's hips.
The Jamaican then began screaming; "YOU GOT THEM ON THE WRONG FEET!!!"
