* sigh *

a BIG *SIGH*

WHEREAS,
compared to back-in-the day,
I can call Jamaica much-much cheaper:::::

JUST got off the phone
with my Lucea-landlord

mi-SAY:::>> '''... how much, would *stuff* would i get from **person-X**, whose selling in-country @ retail, if i'm gonna pay Ja$4,000...'''
he-SAY:::>>> ''' depends ... on quality, but could get at least 1-pound, or a pound & a half...''''

lemme share a couple thread/topic-*related* stories with you-alls

1....ONCE upon,
quite a few times
my Lucea-country neighborhood guys would
try to talk me into
becoming a weed-vendor

dem-SAY:::>> """...Bill.... since you go over-so to Negril, and know a few tourist, blah blah blah...'''

* sigh *

of course FIRST me-SAY::::>>> '''... You take me for an idiot...''
and we all laugh together

2...It's a familiar joke
in-country
to chat 'bout going over to Negril to sell something to tourists at inflated prices, 'cause tourists are use-to paying US $xxxxxx, back in-foreign
