Hot Hops Bread and The Private Jet from God

November 2, 2009 · 10 Comments

cartoon_private_jetMaybe it’s public mischief again but a big man from Boeing probably visited TnT to negotiate the new fleet for Caribbean Airlines, and hardly likely also one private jet on the side. With the public support for the government flagging, this may appear to be the wrong time to buy a luxury such as a private jet or a big flag. Is it, really?

This Government has been smarter and more righteous than most give them credit for. If the country buys that much needed pro-green, private jet at recession prices then the right economic signal will be sent. It will signal the start of a new round of much-needed high wage demands and the buying of big screen TVs with surround sound speakers in Miami. It will also signal the start of another economic boom, massive employment opportunities, foreign exchange availability, aluminum and no more layoffs. It will, however, mainly signal the start of spending on luxury food items like powdered-milk, sardines and crusty hops bread from St. Mary’s Bakery in Curepe.  PM PM promised the country manna from heaven (aka hot hops bread) during the last elections and if, God Willing,  he has to get a Private Jet to fly it in, then so be it. I want my manna now!

    “…luxury food items like powdered-milk, sardines and crusty hops bread”

    Had to drop a tin of tuna like a hot hops bread this week when I saw the price. And they say they have food prices under control. Under control of what? Of whom?

    I want my manna.

      Good point. Who has food prices under their control? PM PM didn’t say the manna was going to be free so it probably will come in the form of cans of tuna :)

      Thinking about it now, maybe he meant manners, heavy manners. Seems that’s where we’re heading.
