I love Caribbean accents. The other day, on the bus, I was eavesdropping on a conversation between a Jamaican couple. I do try not to earwig in on other people’s conversations if I can help it, but I find the Jamaican accent so mellifluous that I couldn’t help myself.

I think that they were talking about doing the laundry and related problems. At any rate, at one point, the guy said,

“De water shrink ‘im.”

while referring to his jumper.

    One day, I may tell you the 'WendY' joke.

    Have a good weekend-----

    Mr. D.: You've got to tell me after teasing me like that! grin
