Black Friday, Friday the thirteenth

Black Friday, Friday the thirteenth
Today is Friday the thirteenth, Black Friday, the day when bad things are suppose to happen. So, how many of you out there will be staying home and doing nothing today or tonight out of sheer fear. Most of us will make light or laugh about it but put to the test we come up really short. For instance if you are walking on the road and there is a ladder leaned up against a building, will you walk under the ladder, or go around it. And if you do ‘tek brave heart’ and walk under it, how many of you will be sure to find some salt and throw over your shoulder, just in case. ‘Talk di truth’, many of us not doing it, yet we will boldly declare that we are not afraid and it’s just a foolish myth.
One theory is that when you believe something bad might happen you tend to get nervous. When you get nervous you are more likely to make mistakes. When you make mistakes, bad things happen. Or as we say in Jamaica, believe kill and believe cure. Anyway, what ever you do today be careful. ‘An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure’. ‘Walk good’.
Nuff Love

Bruk Pocket Jamaican
"Recently, this Jamaican won the 10 million special lottery for a dollar. As soon as the office of the Lottery Corporation was open on the following day, he was there to collect his winnings.
Graciously, he presented his winning ticket to the clerk and in his best English uttered his request "Me cum fi collect the 10 millian dallars, si me ticket ya".
After reviewing and checking the ticket with his manager, the clerk returned and requested on how he would like his payments. The Jamaican replied "Mi wan all a de moni now". "Unfortunately, Sir" the nervous clerk responded, "The procedures are that we can only give you one million now and the balance equally over the next 20 years".
Furious and agitated, the Jamaican asked for the manager, who re-iterated "Sir, my assistant is correct, it is the regulation of the corporation that we initially pay you one million dollars now with the balance paid to you equally over the next 20 years".
Outraged, the Jamaican slammed his hand on the desk and shouted in anger, "Oonu tek me fi idiat, me wan all a de moni now or oonu gi me bak me rass dallar!!"
