Tower Of Babel

Yes, I know….onoo wondering if tiyadness kill me…well, no it hasn’t. I simply decided to stay away from the blog and the computer and get some rest as well as other things done. In addition, Saturday I headed to MoBay to attend a meeting at Half Moon. Not bad at all. Now, I did not drive, and what a pleasure that was. One really cannot appreciate the lush and very diverse natural beauty of this country while driving. So, from a comfortable seat in the Coaster bus, I took een the hills, valleys, rivers, wetlands, people etc etc. Refreshing. Always good to get weh from Kingston and its environs.

Part of the way, the driver decided to use the new highway (Highway 2000) to bypass Spanish Town. I must admit, that it was the first time that I had the pleasure to experience this feat of engineering on local soil. Rass….I man check seh me was a drive pon road inna foreign….with exit and toll booth. Nice indeed, and nuff time saved. I just hope that they will finish the remaining part of the North Coast highway soon. Then man can zip go MoBay in unda two hour!

Arrived in MoBay at 2 PM….bus left at 10:30 AM. Had patties, country hardo bread and Red Stripe while making the commute. Good stuff. Fern Gully nice and green still. Of course, had to laugh at the carving of the rasta man with the big hood rather large erection, beckoning some lusty tourist to purchase him! In fact, had the sculptor made the engorged phallus any larger in length or girth, I dare say that the carving would topple over! I am sure you yardies know wha me a chat ’bout. (Sorry seh me never walk with the digtal…next time…you hear!?)

Now, the meeting went well and was followed by a big bash of a banquet. Cocktails (AKA…VX and all manner of alcoholic spirit) flowed freely (all inclusive in the $3G price tag for a dinner ticket). Dinner now….started with breads of various sorts (though could have been warmed…hell, this is Half Moon!), followed by cream of pumpkin soup with cassava bammy croutons….(sound stoosh eh?) Actually, the soup was very nice, but as man like me just start enjoy it and it help leggo some o de gas dat was inna de belly…the likkle bowl o soup done! Then came main course……baked cornish hen on a sugar cane skewer with some cream sauce (white sauce weh me call fart fuel!) served with roasted vegetables and creamed sweet potato. It was ok, but frankly a bit bland. (If dem did jerk it rass it woulda taste better IMHO.) Anyway, man did raw so it get nyam. Dessert was cheesecake….that too was alright.

Bus departed for Kingston at 10:40 PM. Driver never loafed still…though I have to big him up….he was careful. We hit back into town at ’bout 2AM. So, that essentially was Saturday. Crashed into bed when I reached home to hold some sleep as I was on call Sunday. Can’t complain….was a pretty uneventful call.

Today is a holiday here…Emancipation Day. I not on call. So, got into the meat of an editorial on skin bleaching that I participating in for publication in a medical journal. The majority of that is done I say happily as I have had it pending ’cause of the heavy work week that jus passed by. Now, am here blogging. Fear not, I will check all of my regulars soon. I going end with a joke I got on the bus while driving back from MoBay…..of course, we were all pretty well unda juice by then…so you done know seh the joke sorta slackish. Click below to read it.

Man goes to the doctor. Tells the Doc that he has suppem to show him, but he is asking the Doc to promise him that he won’t laugh at him when he does. The Doc assures him that he does not laugh at his patients and tells the man to proceed.

Poor dude drops his pants and underwear and the Doc sees the most tiny penis he has ever beheld…it is about the size of a peanut to rahtid!

Doc, unable to help himself, begins to laugh uncontrollably at the poor man. He then tells him to dress himself at which time he apologizes for laughing at him. The man accepts the apology. Doc then says to him, “Now, tell me….what exactly is the problem that you are having?” Patient replies, “Doc, it is SWOLLEN!” Hope you like. More time! Lightening and thunda a gwaan!
