JLP Lead Protest
Today is September 06, 2005, its now 9:00am and all Jamaica is in confusion.
Should I venture out or not? This is the question on most people’s minds. There are reports of several roadblocks mounted throughout the island. There are also reports of gunfire in parts of the corporate area.
Most schools have closed for today. Unfortunately some children left their homes very early and are now stranded. The Jamaica Urban Transit Cooperation (JUTC) has withdrawn its buses for fear of the safety of the staff and passengers and destruction of the vehicles.
I left my home at 7:45am and saw no evidence of any disturbances. However many of my coworkers have called to say they cannot get to work because of roadblocks. I have also seen no evidence of demonstrators. Although it has been reported that small gatherings are beginning to form throughout the island.
Those of us at work are very conscious of what might be happening around us and are fearful of any escalating violence. Its still early in the day and any card can play.
Tune in later and I’ll keep you up to date.
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!!!"
