Caribbean Language Barrier

A Canadian Highway Patrolman pulled a car over and told the Guyanese driver that because he was wearing his seat belt he had just won $5,000 for the Province safety competition. "What are you going to do with the money?" asked the policeman."Well, I goin get a driver's license," he answered. "Oh, don't listen to him," yelled the Trini woman in the passenger's seat. "He's a smart ass when he drunk." This woke up the Bajan guy in the back seat, who took one look at the cop and moaned, "I knew we was not gonna get far in dis tiefin car."At that moment, there was a knock from the trunk and the Jamaican said,"Yow!, I man mek it 'crass di barder yet?" The Canadian Highway Patrolman smiled, and handed the $5,000 check to the driver. "I always loved the island talk, but I could never understand it.Have a nice day."
