Humor to Jamaicans is like the sun; it covers the whole island.
Audiences always welcome a good joke. Like the spicy peppers to
Jerk Pork, so is humor to every conversation or speech. The
politicians to the clergymen and those in between know that. The
bar is the epicenter of Jamaican jokes. This is a place of absolute
equality where every stratum comfortably interacts. This is made
easier by the fact that White Rum and its allies have the capacity,
when consumed or even inhaled by some, to make the shy, brazen, the
silly wise and the dumb, orators. Like liquor products, there are
Jamaican jokes 'light, ' and the majority unadulterated.
My collection straddles both disciplines as I need to cover the
whole spectrum. I intermingle the Jamaican language (Patois) with
English in ways that are understandable and apply euphemism and
subtleties that Jamaicans and associates can decipher. The
bracketed letters are open to interpretation. 'Mi noh cuss noh bad
wud' (I have not used profanity). Challenge any version of my jokes
and I dare you to give yours and the source. If it was the bar,
extract the spirit and your watered-down version will be all that's
left.
