Don't go chasing waterfalls

Jackass sey di worl' no level. Jackass sey nuff time smaddy a do suppen nuff time an no get ketch an' smaddy whe do it wan time get 'f'. Yu know 'f', like flabbergasted (if yu know de wud go look e up. Cyaan mek Jackass know more wud dan yu).

Life is a strange thing and the world is a funny place. Oftentimes it is not funny as in laugh ha ha ha, but funny as in strange things happen. And one of the strangest Jackass has found, is how somebody will be doing the wrong thing for years and not get caught, yet somebody does it once and braps dem life mash up.

Like sex. A woman will be running the red red (which is her choice, of course, and Jackass nah pass no judgement pon woman when no judgement naa pass pon man) for years and not a breed, not a crablouse, not a visit to Slipe Pen Road. But here comes a little young miss, just coming into her own, expected to go places that no one in her district has ever gone to before, and as she gets those funny feelings and does a one thing round the house back, braps is a belly.

On the other side, there is a man, feeling all cocky over his standing in the world and therefore standing all over the world, or his little part of it. He might get into a little belly raffling and he might have to find a back door at high speed when the real man of the woman he is with at the moment comes by unexpectedly, but he still has his stable, long-time oman. Now here comes Mr. Nice Guy, never ever strayed until the 15th year in his marriage and boom ... wife finds out, he ends up living in a one room in Spanish own and the court is after him for the baby money.

It is not only sex, of course, that these funny things happen around. It happens in driving. There is some dude who keeps shaving the time off the run from May Pen to Kingston, via the highway. In fact, he probably is one of a number of persons who tear the hell out of the road and their cars and compare notes.

None of them has ever crashed. Hell, none of them has ever even got a ticket. But let Mr. Normally a lowpoke be late carrying someone to the airport one day and try to push it on the same highway. If is not police draw down on him, is crash him crash. If him rash, him not even gwine dead and be done; him going o bruck up, in hospital under police guard on manslaughter charge, then go jail and get the other kind of 'bruck' up, if you get what Jackass means.

And that kind of bruck up can't heal.

Or there is a nice little miss who dresses superbly and drives nice cars, that she changes every two years or so. Ice would not melt in her mouth and it is only 0 years after she has left the work that people find out that she had been stealing. (Of course, the boss ad been watching her hemline instead of the bottom line and he gets fired for carelessness). But there is ot very pretty Daraty, whose Mother needs an operation and her only daughter just borrows a little money from the till to save Mommy's life. It is only one time, but it is the last. She gets caught, gone to work house, Mommy dead and the whole family scorns her.

The world is not level at all, so Jackass suggests if you doing the good already stick to it, because the ongle slip may be your last.

Jackass sey de worl' no level. Jackass sey if condom fi bus it ago bus pon de man an de ooman whe a stray fe de fus time.
