"Only tourists call Jamaica 'paradise'"

[Rob]

While I seriously doubt that any tourist has ever be chopped for stealing (yes, it is still "stealing") fruit from someone's tree, they would be expected to pay for that lapse in judgement, and pay some form of "idiot tax" for their liberty taking... (grin)

You are right...I should have clarified that "chop" to mean a stern warning or fine. Not literally. I do apologize for not making that clear.
