There I was ..... merrily crawling in traffic ........ on Warner Street ...... in Woodbrook ....... when dat sign jump out at meh:





Now as far as ads go ....... shouldn't they inform ....... rather than perplex?? ...... well ....... this ad had me totally confused ...... cuz of course ...... I read it de 'idiot' way ....... thinking to myself ...... what exactly is 'Naturalised Herbs'? ...... is it dat de 'Herbs' was born in Jamaica ...... and naturalised in Trini? ....... is real dotishness I start tuh study ...... I start tuh study .... supposin dis man (Trevor) ...... really bringin in some high grade herb from Jamaica ...... naturalisin it ...... and sellin it loose?! ....... like loose cigarette?! ...... I say ..... either ...... he's ah high man ...... or he real brave ....... or he real dotish!!

But den ...... when ah study meh head ...... ah say NAH!!! ...... dat cyah be he scene ....... he cyah be so boldface ....... tuh be advertising de sale of loose herb!! ....... under he real name ..... and real phone number! ...... so after ah really tink it over ...... ah say is muzbe ......'LOSE' ........ de man really wanted tuh say ...... and dat de ad is really about ....... losing 20-50 lbs ...... of body weight ...... and not about ...... buyin no herb ..... loose!!!

But really an truly ....... what IS that ad about ....... cuz if is bout losin weight fuh tru ...... I doh want tuh believe dat ...... Trevor ....... and de printers ....... didn't make out ....... dat de biggest word on de sign ...... spell wrong!!! ....... or is it dat money had done spend ...... tuh print de signs ..... so dey couldn't trow dem way??!!!

Anyway ...... ah couldn't be bothered tuh dial de number ...... tuh clarify ....... cuz whatever de hell ..... de ad is about ...... whether is ...... loose herb in 20-50 lbs packs ...... or herb tuh lose 20-50 lbs of fat ...... not really dat interested ...... cuz ah don't need none!!! ..... but if by chance ..... it have anybody out there ..... who more idle dan me ..... dial de number nah ..... and leh meh know what dey say
