Tower Of Babel

…no big deal really…I am referring to the certificate of fitness for my car. I decided to go look about it this afternoon. Drove in about 1PM to join a line with about eight cars in front. (Only to realize that there are nuff more people inside waiting. Oh well…….) After about five minutes of waiting, who drives in? A drug rep. that I know…pretty cool guy, turns out he was there for the same thing. So while we waited we shat the shit (or is that shot the breeze? )…it did help to pass the time. I haven’t seen him for a while so we did have a fair amount to catch up on. He thought it was a good time to give me some of his pharmaceutical samples.

Eventually I told him that my fitness cert had expired from October last year unknown to me and that I got a ticket as a result of it. So he said to me, “So whappen, you never tell the Policeman seh you a doctor?” So I told him that he never asked me what I did. He then continues, “Yeah man, him probaly woulda gie you a bligh if you did.” So I told him that the next time I will try to remember. (That line MIGHT work if I was stopped on account of speeding and I tell them that I am going to deal with an emergency! Then again, my luck isn’t all that great so I will just try to tow the line.)

He told me that the last time he got stopped for a speeding ticket the cop asked him what he did and he told him that he is a Pharmacist (which he is actually). So the Policeman told him that if he could give him a few tubes of Retardin cream, he would not issue the ticket! (Retardin is a local anaesthetic cream that is applied to the penis as a means of helping premature ejaculation! It reduces the sensation of sex so it results in a man taking much longer to come.) Is this the only country where some of the Police can be bribed?

Eventually the time comes for the vehicles to be test driven. We both watch the proceedings as others who are before us have theirs put to the test. Now there are two guys doing the test drive and we realize that of the two, one o dem foot well heavy pon de gas. (I am always being accused by friends of being a speedy driver but I think that’s a debatable point.) So, we watch as this yute gets into people’s cars and puts on de PRESS!! He takes a lady’s car and does the same. My pharmacy rep bredren then says to me, “So whappen to him if the brakes pon a cyar fail him? Him and the cyar get phuck!” I had to agree.

The keys are taken for my bredren’s car by the guy with the ‘heavy’ foot. He continues to joke roun while he watches him drive off his Mitsubishi shuttle sort of vehicle (he tells me it was bought since he is a family man now….not exactly a rude bwoy cyar like your Integra Dr. D! Rude bwoy?? Who, me?? Then again, the pic from a post yesterday may just confirm that!)

My bredren continues to mek joke, “I hope he doesn’t work her too hard…after all she’s just a virgin….she can’t tek nuh pressure!”

Anyway, eventually both our vehicles are given the signature of approval and then we are sent into the ‘Waiting Room’ to wait on the certificate. Well, the stress is on the wait as it took about another 35 to 40 minutes to get the prized paper. Anyhow, giving credit where it is due I suppose it wasn’t that bad. The whole process took about 90 minutes and it was made easier by having the lime with a bredren. We plan to link for some ’spirit’ one of these Fridays. So, I’m legal on the road again.

Going walking shortly. Have a good evening.
