But still deh gat some persons does want to show-off and exhibit demselves when dem meet dem old school buddies.

De second friend den say, “See dat hotel building next to de bank? I gan buy it within de next month.”
Not wanting to lose out, de third friend say, “See dat shopping Mall next to de hotel? I gonna buy dat next week!”
All three look over to de fourth friend who, with a smile, tek a lang sip of he drink before saying, “I’m not selling!”
