Counterfeit

Police are probing a suspected counterfeit racket. They have arrested and charged a St. Lucy man with possession of forged bank notes and uttering false instruments. He's Calvin Daniels of Fustic Village, St. Lucy. Lawmen are also asking Barbadians to be on the look out for counterfeit money which is believed to have made its way into the system. 22-year-old Daniels, a Guyanese by birth, who appeared in District A Magistrate's court is also charged with possessing a quantity of cannabis.

I knew the Guyanese came here to make money, but this is ridiculous. *insert corny pun here*. I hear dis same fella used to do counterfeiting in Guyana, but the ink to print the notes turned out to be more expensive than the actual value of the Guyanese money. Well, there are many ways to tell if bajan money is real... under ultraviolet light you see the denomination glowing, you see the water mark of Barbados, you see the line going through when held up against the light, and you see the bicycle man riding cross infront the parliament building on the back. But bajans is something else. I bet you nuff people gine tek that funny money, know it feel like it mek outta card board and cut like a trapezium, but gine feel shame to open them mout and say it fake. Why we so timid tho? I guess in a small society, if yuh open yuh mout too wide, yuh does get victimize, or choke on a stray fly. So i telling wunna now, try and check de money, and if you suspect it fake either give it back, stick it in the garter belt of a stripper after a lappy dance, or use it to buy eddoes from a foreigner who can't tell the difference. If you don't have any ultra violet light available to test, check to see if it got on any snowcone stains... if yes, then it's real. But you can never be sure... even if you feel your money is real, you are advised to donate it to the TightScenes WideScreen Plasma Television Foundation Fund.

*After reading this post, 615 persons will be looking for the bicycle man riding in front of the parliament building. Shame... everybody knows you have to put it in soak it in your natural juices, tear it up into little pieces and hold it up against a solar eclipse to see it.. DUH!
