A Trini woman and a Trini man are involved in a car accident; it's
a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished but amazingly
neither of them are hurt.
After they crawl out of their cars, the woman says, "So you're a
Trini man; that's interesting. I'm a Trini woman. Wow, just look at
our cars! There's nothing left, but fortunately we are unhurt. This
must be a sign from God that we should meet and be friends and live
together in peace for the rest of our days."
Flattered, the man replied, "Oh yes, I agree with you completely!
This must be a sign from God!"
The Trini woman continued, "And look at this, here's another
miracle. My car is completely demolished but this bottle of wine
didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate
our good fortune."
Then she hands the bottle to the Trini man. The man nods his head
in agreement, opens it and drinks half the bottle and then hands
the it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, immediately
puts the cap back on, and hands it back to the man.
The man asks, "Aren't you having any?"
The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police.":eusa_clap
A seven year old boy was at the center of a Trinidad Courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over whom should have custody of him.
The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with the child custody law and regulations requiring that the family unity be maintained to the degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed, that whilst visiting his aunt during the summer holidays, that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her.
When the judge suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the West Indies Cricket Team, whom the boy firmly believes is not capable of beating anyone.:rofl: :rofl:
