West Indian Humor

I'm in this lovely place on an official assignment. I have been here for the last one month. Pristine beaches, lovely people, space that is simply captivating and awesome. And there is the unique West Indian humour that is pretty evident.

# I had a guy and a lady , member of the bank staff (where I work) to receive me from the Airport in Providenciales. When I got dropped in the Apartment, I thanked her and she replied saying that I’m like her son and I need not thank her. While she was saying that, this guy interrupted and asked her if HE is not her son. She immediately replied - “You are the kind of son that a mom will love only on his pay-day”!!

# One other day, In the middle of the banking hall, a male staff member was actually showing off his tummy and shouting that something had bitten him badly and it was paining like hell ! There came an immediate reply from one of the corners – "May be it’s the chicken from inside" ;-) He checked with the Doctor regarding that unbearable pain and found that it was a Spider bite.
You must have guessed it by now- Next day, we all knew how to call him – "SPIDER MAN".

# My turn ;-) – I was at my desk when one of the staff barged in to ask a question while I was in the middle of some important work..….apparantely she realized that I was busy and checked if she was wasting my time, quite apologitically. I responded (obviously, on a lighter note) – “Don’t worry, I won't let you waste my time. I’m good at that, so I won't let anyone do that for me" ;-)
