Pandan mwen te fin bwè tafia ak kèk zanmi, mwen te sou, epi youn ladan yo deside mennen-m al lakay mwen.
Monchè, lè misye rive, mwen pwofite fè misye vizite lakay mwen:
Ou wè bèl kay sa-a w-ap gade la-a, se kay mwen.
Ou wè bèl salon sa-a, se salon pa-m.
Ou wè bèl chanm sa-a, se chanm mwen.
Ou wè kabann sa-a ki nan chanm lan, se kabann pa-m.
Ou wè fanm sa-a ki kouche sou li ya, se madanm mwen.
Ou wè nèg sa-a ki sou li ya, se mwen.
i know im a dude and us dudes front like we never got a whoppin’ but i gotta let y’all know about this one time i got a beating
Time & Place: 9 years old, NY
(first-off i wasnt a bad kid, i didnt think so)
so one time i actually did something bad, i think i was messing around on the computer and broke it (my 2nd time breaking it) before my dad came home. He was so mad,, i thought i was gonna get killed. so i put on like 3 pairs of shorts and 3 more pairs of briefs just in case. i waited in my room ( which means i hid in my closet) for a long time. so when i thought the coast was clear, i went to my bed and prayed that my dad was gonna forget.
I went to sleep and actually was having a good dream till its started turning into a nightmare. i didnt know why but my lower torso was starting to feel HOT,, so i opened my eyes, and to my surprise, saw my pops straight up letting me have with his belt, BLAZING MY BEHIND. when i realized what was happening,, i tried to stop him and cover my ass, but my shorts and briefs weren’t on me. I WAS BUTT NAKED.
Now my family lived together (cuz we was poor) so my uncle slept in my room and he was CRACKIN (Laughing) up a storm while i was getting torn up.
for that week and half the next week, the white teacher and kids in my class didnt know why i kept on bringing a pillow to class and i leaned on one side of my cheek at a time like i had Diarrhea …
“Hallelujah”
A man bought a donkey from a preacher. The preacher told the man that this donkey had been trained in a very unique way (being the donkey of a preacher). The only way to make the donkey go, is to say, “Hallelujah!” The only way to make the donkey stop, is to say, “Amen!” The man was pleased with his purchase and immediately got on the animal to try out the preacher’s instructions. “Hallelujah!” shouted the man. The donkey began to trot. “Amen!” shouted the man. The donkey stopped immediately. “This is great!” said the man. With a “Hallelujah” he rode off, very proud of his new purchase. The man traveled for a long time through the mountains. As he headed towards a cliff, he tried to remember the word to make the donkey stop. “Stop,” said the man. “Halt!” he cried. The donkey just kept going. “Oh, no…” “Bible…Church!… Please! Stop!!” shouted the man. The donkey just began to trot faster. He was getting closer and closer to the edge of the cliff. Finally, in desperation, the man said a prayer… “Please, dear Lord. Please make this donkey stop before I go off the end of this mountain, AMEN.” The donkey came to an abrupt stop just one step from the edge of the cliff. Hallelujah!” the man shouted…….
“Doctor I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn’t bother me too much. My farts never smell, and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I’ve farted at least 20 times since I’ve been here in your office. You didn’t know I was farting because they don’t smell and are silent.”
The Doctor says, ” I see, take these pills and come back to see me next week.”
The next week the lady comes back. “Doctor”, she says, ” I don’t know what the hell you gave me, but now my farts…although still silent…stink terribly.”
The Doctor says, “Good!!! Now that we’ve cleared up your sinuses, let’s work on your hearing.”
A new pastor moved into a town, and he went out one Saturday to visit his parishioners. All went well until he came to one house. It was obvious that someone was home, but no one came to the door even after he had knocked several times. Finally he took out his card, wrote on the back “Revelation 3:20″ and stuck it in the door.
The next day, as he was counting the offering, he found his card in the collection plate. Below his message was the notation “Genesis 3:10.”
Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.
Genesis 3:10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.”
One day Mrs. Jones went to have a talk with the minister at the local church. “Reverend,” she said, “I have a problem, my husband keeps falling asleep during your sermons. It’s very embarrassing. What should I do?”
“I have an idea,” said the minister. “Take this hatpin with you. I will be able to tell when Mr. Jones is sleeping, and I will motion to you at specific times. When I motion, you give him a good poke in the leg.”
In church the following Sunday, Mr. Jones dozed off. Noticing this, the preacher put his plan to work. “And who made the ultimate sacrifice for you?” he said, nodding to Mrs. Jones.
“Jesus!”, Jones cried as his wife jabbed him the leg with the hatpin.
“Yes, you are right, Mr. Jones,” said the minister. Soon, Mr. Jones nodded off again. Again, the minister noticed. “Who is your redeemer?” he asked the congregation, motioning towards Mrs. Jones.
“God!” Mr. Jones cried out as he was stuck again with the hatpin.
“Right again,” said the minister, smiling. Before long, Mr. Jones again winked off. However, this time the minister did not notice. As he picked up the tempo of his sermon, he made a few motions that Mrs. Jones mistook as signals to bayonet her husband with the hatpin again.
The minister asked, “And what did Eve say to Adam after she bore him his 99th son?”
Mrs. Jones poked her husband, who yelled, “You stick that goddamned thing in me one more time and I’ll break it in half and shove it up your ass!”
A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier. Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel plans. So, the husband left Minneapolis and flew to Florida on Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day. The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error, sent the email.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her husband’s funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory following a heart attack. The widow decided to check her email expecting messages from relatives and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted. The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and saw the computer screen which read:
To: My loving wife
Subject: I’ve arrived Date: April 6, 2006
I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones. I’ve just arrived and have been checked in. I see that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing you then. Hope your journey is as uneventful as mine was.
