I imagine a parent saying to the young child, you should read the newspaper. The child reluctantly read the newspaper. The parent then proudly looked at his son and gave him a loving and caring hug. He said son, "It's a good thing to read son. What did you learn from reading the newspaper today son?".
The son without skipping a beat said, "It pays to be a criminal".
The father was devastated and said, "Why would you say that."
The son replied, "If I become a criminal I can make the headlines in the Gleaner".
The devastated father feeling extremely dejected said, "Son, you must have a better ambition"
The son replied, "I want to be a DJ."
His dad said, " Why son?"
His son replied, "I can make more money than you and make the headlines"
By this time his dad was furious and blurted out to the child, "Wha di hell mi sen yu go a school fa bwoy?"
The son looked at his dad, smiled at him and said, "To be a teacher Dad, but I have never seen a teacher make the headlines, make so much money and be so famous."
The dad walked out of the house and went to the nearest bar to order a Pretty Gal.
As the Dad had his last Pretty Gal, he vowed never to advise his son to read the Gleaner again.
What do you think?

ReplyDeleteThe Gleaner's job is to report the news. Kartel is of huge interest right now, love him or hate him.
ReplyDeleteMy question where is Lizard
ReplyDeleteCrime is big bysiness ib JA that is why the first 3 pages of tbe daily paper is dedicated to crime reporting. The more graphic the better, in order to grab public attention the lurid quality of lical crime reported would never be tolerated in an enlightrned society
ReplyDeleteIn todays Jamaica, it pays to be a criminal.๐ฅ๐ฅ. They are the ones revered by our youth.Trusy me, if Kartel gets out of prison, the Gaza nation will be the de facto leaders in our society. We would be in for a rude awakening ( Foundation fren say so)
ReplyDeleteGod forbid.

Then they are planning to set him free. I really wonder if this is what the Court's agreed. Now I
