One lady call she neighbour soon morning, “Nayba, God bless America. Dem do de right thing. You know how lang I did waiting fuh something like this?”
A pastor hold up he bible and seh God doan sleep.
One Government Minister sister wake up de Waterfalls boss man fuh find out if she brudda is one of dem. When he ask she wha she talking about, she tell him that she brudda read de paper and couldn’t find de continuation on page 38, and he believe that he name might deh pun de missing page.
She seh she brudda call he son and ask de boy to find de end of de visa story. De kid check fuh over five minutes and seh, “Dad, there is no page 38. De paper end at page 32.”
De boss man and all get fool, because he and all end up looking fuh page 38. He cuss de pressmen and ask why dem lef out de other pages. Is dem tell he that is an All Fools Day trick.
