A-pushin’ and a-haulin’
Monsignor Ramkissoon’s feeding of the 5,000 has become a high point of the Christmas season for the indigent. But the pushing and pulling by adults who seem not to care that there are small children among them must be dealt with. What about having them queue up? Bad enough that all that was happening in front of the US ambassador and the Canadian high commissioner.
…Devon House Ice Cream too
It’s not only the indigent who push past children. A fat woman was seen on Christmas Eve night throwing herself over the wee ones to get to the front at the popular Devon House Ice Cream joint. One patron was heard asking the woman if she did not notice the little ones. Her response was “Let them leave!” To which the patron responded: “You must be really hungry!”
Air pumps a disappearing species
It is getting harder and harder to find air pumps at service stations. Motorists are having to drive from station to station to find one. Very often the pump, if it is there, is without a hose! Shouldn’t this be a compulsory service? If there is a charge for the service, so be it. Where is a good politician when you need one to advocate on behalf of the public?
Giving away di ting
Instead of having a merry Christmas, he ended up spending the day in a police lock-up for assaulting his lover, claiming that she “gi weh di ting”. People say he is the only one who was unaware that she had other love interests, especially since he lost the big job.
Serial urinator
Arnold Schwarzenegger is both the ‘Terminator’ and the ‘Sperminator’. But the fraudulent one is the ‘Urinator’. He keeps moving from hotel to hotel with the practice, after a heavy night of drinking. Hotel staff are beginning to complain. Who can stop the serial urinator?
Have a great holiday
Best wishes to all ‘Pepperpotters’ for a great holiday season. Hope Santa brought you your heart’s desire.
