RE: LAUGHTER

2020-JAN-17-0159Hrs
Laughter is the best medicine.
Tonight I watched “The Last Days of Richard Pryor”.  I recommend that everybody experience this masterpiece.
Richard Pryor also concluded that laughter is good for our health.
At Mausica Teachers College we had tons of laughter. No wonder why many of us have that unbreakable bond.
Did Lulu faint or feint? Ask de Pierrot Grenade, our own Felix Edinborough.
Yes, Inez, de Mausica experience had lots of unforgettable memories that made us laugh. Yuh remember de night wen Paddy shout out. “ She eh care bout “car nor van”. An de nite dat “de puddin tumble down while de Joe was speaking”.   Or de nite dat ah throw ah handful ah granulated sugar over meh shoulder wen we line up for supper. Meh pardnah Carl Caton couldn’t decide if tuh dust de sugar out he right eye or drop ah left hand on meh. Kent Rennie, meh Red Guard Brother, shout out, “He makin sweet eye!” Mankind start tuh laugh. Even Carl join in de laughter.
Those were the best two years of my life.
By de way, do you all remember your experiences with Chenopodium Oil?
Yes, yuh had tuh bring some stool in ah lil container. Dey lookin fuh hook -worms. If I had known better ah woulda borrow some ah Dela tutu. It was endless  “Tutu Wah”. Like wen Aqui bring some roti and bad curry tuh MTC.
Tonite , meh pardnah, Vince,  call meh  to find out if I remember dat experience. Not even Bolt coulda ketch meh. Ah run from eighth street tuh tenth street in minus time.
As usual.
