Tax Disease
Taxomolytist On Thursday, December 17, 2009 there was an out break of Taxomolytist ( poorman disease- implementation of taxation of every possible striking thing you can think of) it took me two full days to go through the list of items that will attract tax as of January 2010. I really feel it for myself as an adult, but most of all the kids. What do you tell them stop eating, the basic little things kids like to eat. “Kiss mi neck, up to patty ( a popular on the move meal, slap it between a coco bread and a soda and yu gon clear). Well, I had to be in a bit of hibernation (low profile) trying to recover for this new “disease”, as usual I went to church, for some divine back up and so, good sense prevailed and some taxable goods are now non-taxable, Let make take this opportunity to wish one and all, nothing but best wishes for the new year and never lose focus on the Almighty, whichever means you celebrate the birth of the new year, be safe and moderate.
Walk good, bless up and one 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!!"
