Ok what would you do if suddenly you woke up on the beach....?

[wnyjim]

You go to bed in your own bed one cold night and fall into a deep sleep. You wake up in Negril on the beach. You also see you have become a real Jamaican. You brush yourself off. Pull back your braids and look around. Your wearing Shorts a tank top and flip flops. You reach into your pocket and find a $100J note...That's it. You must now Higgle for your survival. What would you do to survive and why?

P.S. Your on your own and have no friends that could or would recognize you.

Keep it fun but picture yourself in the situation or flip flops of another if you will.

My answer to come....

Good one! After realizing I was Jamaican and not a tourist, I'd live off fruit until finding a job, hopefully a good job that paid at least $50 a week. Then would manage, as best I could, to make good honest friends. Would need a good sturdy box and a safe place to sleep and would need to be extremely resourceful, like Smith. I know it wouldn't be that "cut and dry" or easy by any means.

Ok maybe this one is too tough? Survival always is when you have to live by your wits.
Here is what I would try first. I would get me a big garbage bag and make a cardboard sign. Beach patrol Keeping our beaches clean. Donations accepted.
I would pick up all plastic paper and foam containers and tips that I could. Eventually form a recycling effort in Jamaica and become a kingpin $$$$ in the recycle biz.

Hey it's my dream...I can steer it my way cant I?

[Fred Stripe]

Easy,,I would walk the beach and strut and sell my services as a male escort.

Do I have all my memory of my past life?

[Muzikdoc]

I would first check my shorts to be sure I was a real Jamaican.....Do a little fishing...go throw bombs at Grand Pineapple......Beg fifty cents...go to Sunnyside for a beer...Beg another Beer...Take a nap...Go look for Dawn and Kitty...Beg Dinna...

Do I have all my memory of my past life?

I guess you can keep your life skills...In that case I guess I could have wired houses and businesses in Negril but life on the beach would be so much more fun..

[Bluez]

I would go to the wholesaler and spend that $100 to buy a few snacks or bag juice and sell on the beach. Then use the profits to buy more and keep doing it until I was at the point I was buying cases.

I would offer to run errands for vacationers and work for tips.

I would offer to accompany tourists and show them around

I'm a hustler baby

[Hussyband]

I could not do it.

Maybe if a different, non-worrying personality came with it...with my personality and quirks? Forget it. Your scenario would literally do me in. I have a lot of respect for the people who live and work down there, but I could not do it.
