| | A lawyer and a Trini woman happen to be sitting next to each other on a long flight from L.A. to New York. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The Trini is tired and just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.
The lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains how the game works . . "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me, and vice-versa." Again, the Trini politely declines and tries to get some sleep.
The lawyer figures that since his opponent is a Trini he will easily win the match, so he makes another offer. "Okay, how about this . . .
If you don't know the answer you pay me only $5, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."
This catches the Trini's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, she agrees to play the game. The lawyer asks the first question. . "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?"
The Trini doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.
Now, it's the Trini's turn. She asks the lawyer . . "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"
The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the Net and even the Library of Congress.
Frustrated he sends E-mails to all his co-workers and friends he knows. All to no avail. After over an hour of searching for the answer he finally gives up.
He wakes the Trini and hands her $500. The Trini politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep.
The lawyer, who cannot imagine what the answer is, an d is going nuts trying to figure it out, is more than a little frustrated! He wakes the Trini and asks . . . "Well???....so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?"
The Trini reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep. Angus
| | | | | |    | | | | | | Last christmas three Trinidadians were having fun drinking and driving, yuh know dat ent nutting sirius nuh is just people living it up, Ahha, when suddenly their vehicle got in to a fatal crash. Saint Peter was at heavens gate, awaiting their arrival. The good guardian angel asked, "what were you all doing, before you died"? "Celebrating Christmas" came the quick reply. Well, said St Peter, can you each show me something pertaining to christmas. The first Trini put his hands into his pockets and found a Bic cigarette lighter, overjoyed, he started flicking his bic, shouting, lights, candles. St Peter agreed and allow him into heaven. The second Trini found his apartment keys in his pocket, he began vigorously shaking them, singing "jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle all the way". St Peter said that was good and he too, was allowed to enter heaven. All this time the third Trini has been fumbling in his pockets, the only thing he found in his back pocket was an old underwear, that he held on the tip of his index finger. What does these underwear have to do with celebrating christmas? asked St Peter. After a short, pause..... ......the trini replied, ....IT'S CAROL'S! | | | | You just have to read this one, this is not mine, but "ah friend send dis joke in de e-mail" well ah just have tuh share it wih onnuu, yaah mahn! yeah! Respect to de Creator. Jah Rastafari! An elderly woman walked into the Bank of Canada one morning with a purse her how much she wanted to deposit. She placed her purse on his desk and replied,
"$165,000". The president was curious and asked her how she had been able to save so much money. The elderly woman
replied that she made bets.
The president was surprised and asked, "What kind of bets?"
The elderly woman replied, "Well, I bet you $25,000 that your testicles are square."
The president started to laugh and told the woman that it was
impossible to win a bet like that.
The woman never batted an eye. She just looked at the president and said, "Would you like to take my bet?"
"Certainly", replied the president. "I bet you $25,000 that my
testicles are not square."
"Done", the elderly woman answered. "But given the amount of money involved, if you don't mind I would like to come back at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning with my lawyer as a witness."
"No problem", said the president of the Bank confidently.
That night, the president became very nervous about the bet
and spent a long time in front of the mirror examining his
testicles, turning them this way and that, checking them over
again and again until he was positive that no one could
consider his testicles as square and reassuring himself that there was no way he could lose the bet.
The next morning at exactly 10 o'clock the elderly woman
arrived at the president's office with her lawyer and
acknowledged the $25,000 bet made the day before that the
president's testicles were square.
The president confirmed that the bet was the same as the one
made the day before. Then the elderly woman asked him to
drop his pants etc. so that she and her lawyer could see clearly.
The president was happy to oblige.
The elderly woman came closer so she could see better and
asked the president if she could touch them. "Of course", said the president. "Given the amount of money involved, you
should be 100% sure."
The elderly woman did so with a little smile. Suddenly the
president noticed that the lawyer was banging his head against
the wall. He asked the elderly woman why he was doing that
and she replied, "Oh, it's probably because I bet him $100,000 that around 10 o'clock in the morning I would be holding the
balls of the President of the Bank of Canada!"
The origin of this Canadian story is unknown but it brings luck to everyone to whom it is sent. Whoever breaks the chain
would definitely be unlucky.
Do not keep this letter. And do not send money. Just forward it to five of your friends to whom you wish good luck. Something good will happen to you in the next four days. If the chain is not broken, you will have good luck during the four days.
Even if all you do is make someone laugh, send it on!
